Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse on the Mexican border . .

[KittyKares]

And it's OUR fault that they have high-tech weaponry.

[DoughtyOne]

Imagine the absurdity of Mexico asking us to help them on a border related matter? If we were to help Mexico the way it helps us, we'd be printing the best way to sneak advanced weapons into Mexico. BTW, I think Mexico should provide water stations in the desert so gun smugglers don't get ill.

Even with the presence of Mexican Federal Troops in the city, they still cannot bring calm to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

Imagine if President Bush had to deploy the U.S. military to squash widespread insurrection in areas as large as an entire state!

(Now the Mexican gubmint is blaming the United States of exporting terror to Mexico . .)

===================================

Mexico is asking the U.S. to strengthen efforts to halt arms trafficking along the Mexican border, a spokesman for Mexican President Vicente Fox said Monday.

Mexican federal police and soldiers arrived in two border states this month to help control a surge in violence linked to drug trafficking groups.

[Reagan Man]

Amazing!

[A.B.Normal]

"Mexican organized crime groups have access to high-tech weaponry that could only come from the United States" ... and we have low tech illegals who could only come from Mexico. Let's make a deal..

[OKIEDOC]

Hands across the border.

President Bush is slowly backing himself into a corner with his stance on the border situation.

Already civilians are taking matters into their own hands.

Unless our federal government acts and acts quickly I see things deteriorating into shear chaos along the Southern Frontier.

Once civilian groups become heavily involved there will be no turning back.

I hear people, mostly liberals and do-gooders saying that the military can not come on the border.

Well, how do these same people explain the thousands of troops placed down here nearly a hundred years ago to chase bandits such as Pancho Villa.

It's time to shut down these drug dictators and that time is now.

[jayhorn]

What's the problem? They were weapons Americans probably didn't want. < /sarcasm >

Oh, man. It just never ends. And of course El Presidente Bush will hop to and help his amigo Vicente Fox without even considering raising the "sensitive" issue of "undocumented workers." Because Mexico is our friend, dontcha know?

I'm sick of it. Mexico can go @#$% itself for all I care, just as long as they stay down wind. I find I am quite averse to the stench of corruption.

[kingu]

Shut down the border, station our troops there. Build bases, keep them down there. Since most of our future action will be in desert climates, better that our troops get the experience chasing folks through canyons and hot weather.

Enough is enough.

Mexico is asking the U.S. to strengthen efforts to halt arms trafficking along the Mexican border, a spokesman for Mexican President Vicente Fox said Monday.

The pot calls the kettle black!

[William Terrell]

It comes after recent complaints that Mexican organized crime groups have access to high-tech weaponry that could only come from the United States.

Humm. I wonder of some of those "Mexican organized crime groups" would be citizen (or subject) militias plotting to overthrow the corruption.

[commonasdirt]

I know I cannot be the only one who finds this story and the request really funny.

[SwinneySwitch]

Gun Runners Ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.

[Travis McGee]

[ken21]

that's a laugh!

the only people that have guns in mexico are the government and criminals.

[azhenfud]

I'd laugh if this were a joke - Mexico throws responsibility for everything else they can on the US taxpayer, now they want us to police them.

We oughta annex Mexico once for all.

[Still Thinking]

When I stop laughing I'll explain why the government that prints brochures explaining how to succeed at breaking US laws has no right to expect ANYTHING from the US govt.
