I'm just going to say something here, don't think for a single second that the US government isn't corrupt, both governments allow the drug cartels to keep operating BUT they choose who gets to stay on the business and who gets to leave, most of the time the big bad ass mexican or colombian drug lords that get too much power get the boot and get killed and or arrested, that mostly happens when the governments loose control of them and they start making their own moves... all the people in mexico know this, its just that over here its "new" to you guys. This has always happened like someone here already said "its not getting worse it has always been bad" yes i agree with him. You guys want to see how powerful some of these drug lords can get? google Amado Carrillo Fuentes this guys supposedly faked his death with the help of both governments, even to this day no one knows if he is really dead. In the end everyone is in this for a simple reason...MONEY.

The deferred prosecution agreement announced in Miami, which included a $50 million fine to be paid to the U.S. Treasury, was the largest penalty ever imposed for a violation of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jeffrey H. Sloman told reporters.
Sloman said a "systematic" failure by Wachovia, now a unit of Wells Fargo & Co, to maintain effective anti-money laundering (AML) controls had led to more than $400 billion in unmonitored funds being channeled to accounts at the bank between 2004 and 2007 by currency exchange houses in Mexico, mostly through wire transfers

Okay, call me crazy or whatever you want. WHY IS THE US AIR FORCE NOT SHOOTING THESE COPTERS DOWN? This is the second such incident in less than a month! Don't tell me it's a joint exercise. The Mexican military is CORRUPT just like their government and is getting POUNDED by the drug cartels.

You are upset because there are Mexican Helicopters flying over Texas??? That state is pretty much Mexico, all we did was conquer it. Sorry to say but who cares?? The Mexicans are our friends and will continue to be our friends. So try to take a hold of your bigot attitude and open your mind.
