U.S. law enforcement officers increasingly are facing armed responses by the Mexican drug cartels during raids on their pot grows, and in recent weeks police have killed five suspects in northern California garden shootouts as reported by Glenda Anderson for The Press Democrat. Meanwhile, the drug cartels increasingly have been expanding their business model to include additional rackets to become full Mafia-style criminal organizations, and yesterday an 18-year-old girl was abducted off the street in San Juan, CA and then dumped in a field across the border in Reynosa, Mexico in a failed kidnap-for-ransom scheme as reported by Jared Taylor for The Monitor. And yet the Obama Administration continues to maintain that there is no drug cartel spillover violence, and that the borders are as secure as ever.

National Guard? Hello???????????
I have family members in California; I wish they’d all escape from there. It’s going to get nastier as time goes on.
Nothing will be done until the son or daughter or a high profile politician is killed or kidnapped. Mark my words.
Even then I’m doubtful. Full scale war needs to be declared on these sons of dogs. They may be able to outgun the Mexican government. Let them try it with the Army Rangers.
The kidnapping took place in San Juan, Texas (not California) according to this article:
“Police: San Juan teen randomly kidnapped, found in Reynosa”
http://www.themonitor.com/articles/san-42116-juan-teen.html
So here it comes.....bound to have happend sooner or later, sooner it looks like, don’t think this adm will do anything to help....what a shame...
Legalize pot, all other drugs, sentence should include public work, rehab,job skill training, and long sentences..let them pay for their own rehab by serving the community.
Illegals with drugs or without, out of the country..
Yep - the name didn’t sound like any town in California....the closest my search gets is North San Juan, a little burg way up in northern CA.
Read the article about the kidnapping. The citizens in Mexico were not willing to help the kidnapped girl for fear of reprisal. In addition our law enforcement did not talk to the Mexican police because they thought that they may be corrupt. Wake up people this terminal cancer is spreading north thanks to a complicit government.
I thought it might be San Juan Capistrano in Southern California.
Entirely possible with the invasion going on in CA.
August 2009:
“17 charged in string of brutal kidnappings and slayings in San Diego suburbs”
“Authorities announced charges Thursday against a Mexican gang that took Tijuana-style violence to the upscale suburbs of San Diego County, kidnapping, torturing and killing well-to-do residents, even after some families paid large ransoms...”

You’re right . . . it’s San Juan, TX . . . thanks for the correction.
the only solution that will work is to lower the cost of drugs so that the big dollars in the trade is gone. That would mean drugs available thru legal businesses ie liquor stores.
With out the huge profit from drug markets the network of criminals would collapse.
Better that the idiots who choose drugs suffer from their use than those who do not.
Then apply strict punishment to the user whose use affects others.
Maybe if they increase their sactuary cities the cartels would make nice and feel better about the people there!
Oh right, totally secure. Little bammy said so.
We should all go play golf and have an ice cream...
BTW bammy, can YOU tell us which photo comes from an actual event and which one is "just a movie?"
This... 
Or this...?
Getting hard to tell the difference?
Well, that is only because their isn't much difference left.

Mac daddy will do nothing, much to busy golfing, planning parties, planning his 150th vacation and scr**ing the American People.
