Bump.
I have noticed on the radio a lot of talk about gangs all of a sudden.
People are now talking about them on the talk shows.

Gang activity has increased on the East Coast as well.
ICE did do quite a number of sweeps thankfully though.

A few notes:
* Mexico actually once was a major world power, with its own (almost certainly indigenous) written language. Mexico City was an impeccably clean and splendid city, and easily among the most populous in the world. Then Cortes brought smallpox and cocolitzi erupted.
* We owe the domestication of teosite into corn to the (ancient) Mexicans. This crop has served as the cornerstone of the American economy for a millennium.
* Mexico is not a "third-world" backwater but a free, democratic federal republic with a service-based economy only now emerging into the modern world. It enjoys one of the highest standards of living in Latin America (excluding Caribbean tourist resort countries). Mexico is a land of grinding poverty and corruption only by comparison to its neighbor to the north.
* The nation has prospered (by the standards of the rest of the world, not the US) despite decades of abject misrule, widespread corruption, occasional disastrous experiments in communism, and deep-rooted class barriers reflecting intense economic stratification.
* And last, but not least, even lowly Mexico can beat the French in battle!

The Roman trained the Goth. The Goth then turned the Roman war skills against the Roman. In all probability some of the American trained commandos wil cross the border and provide a cadre around which others may gather. They will then be ready when all hell breaks loose.

Mexico City was an impeccably clean and splendid city,...Only if you don't consider those rivers of human blood running down off the pyramids to be unsightly.

Actually, this was a project dreamed up by Madeline Albright called the Mexican Training Initiative. We had to get State Dept. waivers to train them because a lot of us was stuff that normally isn't trained to non-US personnel.

I'm figuring those we train in Iraq will join the other side, or at least some of them. Probably take their equipment too.

Unbelievable. I've never understood why our government keeps training others on how to use our tactics. A big part of the terrorists who are fighting our soldiers in Iraq were trained by Bin Laden and his men. Our Special Ops trained the Kurds in Iraq too.

Can anyone come up with a time frame? I read it as saying the switch was recent, or they are just now finding out about it.
I guess they hired themselves out to the highest bidder. The last estimate I saw for the worldwide illegal drug trade was around $500 billion/year. Plenty of money to get good help.

It may have been clean, but that was the Aztec Empire you are talking about, where they practiced HUMAN SACRIFICE. Cortes did Mexico a HUGE favor, and attempts to rewrite history to prove otherwise are intellectually dishonest.

I certainly do not doubt the virtues of Christianizing the Aztecs (and cocoliztli, perhaps the worst epidemic in world history, appears to have been a drought-induced native [non-European] disease). But we shouldn't ignore the achievements of an empire that managed to feed 22 million people on 15th-century maize farming technology (in some ways less advanced than elsewhere, and almost without domesticated animals).
