The problem isn't because of liberal philosophy.... It is the capitalistic nature to make money and if there is any kind of intervention it will be so because the profits being made by TPTB aren't great enough and when that happens you can be assured that it will be done by corporate owned paramilitary companies.

If we spent half the time and money trying to fix Mexico as we have the big sandbox, immigration issues and stories like this would not exist.


The Democrats and the Obama administration are waiting until after the election when they lose Congress.

He will then put federal troops on the border,send them across the border to secure the border cities.

They'll call it a "police action" win U.N. sanction for this "humane" action.

All Mexican residents living in the U.S. can then apply for "refugee" status and stay here for ever.

Name a country that we have did this to and see how many refugees that have come from those countries.

That is the plan.

Once it is done the violence and corruption will be brought seriously to the U.S. and our civil rights will be completely taken away in the name of "Homeland Security".

Watch and see,if this transpires.

I don't care if I joined the police force there to cure cancer, a thousand rounds and three grenades is well past the hero/suicidal line.


for you maybe. Personally I would have shot back

I have considered that, but without the support of congress that would be impossible..... I forgot about the new executive privileges that were enacted when Bush 43 sent troops to Iraq, yeah it can happen..... Military contractors will still be bringing in the bucks while the taxpayer has to pay their overly inflated fees.

Well, I'm closer to the border than you, so it would be in my back yard before it is in yours. And as far as "growing some balls" that was a very rude statement ~ not to mention I am a woman.
The militias and our own infantry haven't done anything as of yet, and there have been some incidents on US soil. Although at this point I have more faith in them than the government. I just think that our own military should be protecting our borders as opposed to starting wars elsewhere.

My apologies I didn't realize you were a woman. As for what I said being very rude ... if you truly believe that then you've got a lot more problems than worrying about the cartels coming for you!

actually this is not new
there have been tons of Police
quit or resign over the past 18 months
due to the Cartels taking over all of
Mexico.

Police Chief quits
www.msnbc.msn.com...

Whole Police Force quits
www.dallasnews.com...

Whole Police Force quits
www.abs-cbnnews.com...

so there is a trend going on here.
All of Mexico is falling into criminal
element hands. Within 10 yrs,
Mexico will be a rogue state with no
government and will be completely
run by cartels. Basically, the old
west without a sheriff.

Funny story, I was at a lecture in my university by a Mexican political scientist who used to teach at the top Mexican university (in Mexico City I think) before things got crazy. Her solution to the problem is simple: legalize coc aine and marijuana in Mexico and then these people wouldn't be criminal anymore, and the police would not have a reason to war with them.

There are people on both sides of the border that love the current drug laws and they have more money and influence than those that aren't profiting due to things as they now are.... It was Nixon that declared "the war on drugs".... I have always thought it was to appease the war profiteers when we were to withdraw from Vietnam.

It's just a matter of time before these cartels have Predator Drone UAV with FLIR and missile attack capabilities. You know, like that cartel has called the CIA?

Ties in with this article - news.uk.msn.com...

Being a police officer over there at the moment must be awful.

Clearly it was an incredibly unprofessional police force to begin with. This is a ludicrous decision that amongst other more obvious consequences, may begin a trend of police forces quitting and it certainly encourages further attacks on other police forces within Mexico.

I've heard that in some states Mexico has already legalized specific amounts of coc aine and marijuana, or just about any drug...but while the drug cartels may be operating in Mexico and other South American countries, much of their operations are funded by U.S. drug consumption.

There's a reason why leaders in Latin American countries were opposing prop 19 in Cali, it's because these governments are so corrupt and also involved in the drug cartels themselves, that they know such a proposition in the United States would significantly reduce their business operations, and much of their affiliated party's financial support.

A great move on California's part...hopefully it goes through.

Wait you're from Texas? Grow some balls! I'm D/FW area here. Dude, those cartels wouldn't stand a chance trying to invade. The citizens are armed to the teeth, there's militia's everywhere, and we've got our own infantry. If the federal government didn't help in a crunch, screw them. We don't need their crap. Seriously, ain't no damned army of thugs going to try and pull squat around these lands.


"Hear-Hear"!

Your NEW Mexican neighbor here.
As some previous posters either read UE's post too quickly or just no comprende. UE said, and I quote again, "IF the Federal..."

I thank you with your concerns about this, but when we ask for help, we jus' get the 'burro-cratic' runaround.
We can handle this on our own as we have all along. When they start fightin' in your front yard is when you know they got past us!

the problem with that is they make very little money from marijuana and medicore amount from coc aine (nothing like it use to be)


their #1 money maker as of right now is METH.

once the cartels started building and operating the superlabs, its taken over the majority of the drug use in the southwest.

all of the sureno street gang members flood the streets with very high quality meth, that is produced in these super labs and then smuggled to them over the border

the problem is so bad that they have put most of our domesticly produced meth out of business. and im sure you have all heard how easy it is to turn even a small trailor into a meth lab.

prop 19 wont effect the cartels at all. marijuana hasnt been their cash crop for almost 20 years now.

people need to get with the times and stop watching johnny depp movies based in the 70's.

i dont believe this to be true, as they hardly make any money from the american market whatsoever.

i think they are more worried about California flipping the scripts and exporting it to mexico and south american countries and basicly taking over THEIR markets.

for the simple fact that california produces the highest quality cannabis in the world due to geo-location, AND ive also heard because the cartels dont have the resources (power/energy mainly) to set up the complex indoor hydroponic warehouse systems that california has.

this may change as the cartels gain control of towns and their resources.

Pay might be an issue in some cases. I read that the police in Tijuana Mexico had their pay doubled and the corruption went way down when they got enough money from their jobs and didn't have to supplement it with bribes from the cartels. I just spent a few days in Tijuana and police were on every street and pickup trucks full of military guys in camo uniforms were driving by, I must say I felt pretty safe and some of the people I talked to there had come from Texas because they didn't think the towns across the border in Texas were as safe as Tijuana. So the rest of Mexico's towns might take a lesson from Tijuana, they appear to be doing something right!


Tijuana is still a dangerous place to be if you're a member of a Cartel, but if you're a tourist, it seemed pretty safe to me.
