Shows you that even the wicked are capable of good deeds.The good deed of silencing one of the most convincing arguments for building the wall along the border? Look, see this newspaper report? Dozens of people are being shot, on both sides of the border, by drug gangs. We'd better build a wall to help curb their routes, and help save lives, on both sides of the border.

Silencing who (or is it whom)? Since when has the msm reported anything much about what is happening on the border? Aside from talk radio, blogs, and local news outlets on or near the border, you hardly hear a peep about the violence, kidnapping, extortion, drug and human trafficking, terrorist infiltration, environmental degradation, etc., unless, of course, it is part of a feature that is embarassing to the administration. The msm has a vested interest in not showcasing the anarchy along the border. After all, it might damage the image of all them poor immigrants coming up here to do work Americans just won't do.

Large numbers of Mexican police and soldiers are complicit with the smuggling, as are the politicians.
The current president of Mexico seems to be trying to deal with it, but I think many of his predecessors were part of the problem. And for all I know, he’s simply involved in a struggle among the drug gangs rather than an effort to tackle them.
Clinton had a piece of the action while he was president. After he was acquitted at the impeachment trial, the first thing he did was to go down to Mexico to visit his drug-dealing political friends, and no doubt to collect his share of the take.

Maybe they should start protecting young American girls from the murderers and rapists who cross into America from Mexico. It has to be corruption that causes the politicians to ignore the threats from terrorist, murderers and drug lords operating at our border.

Sooner than you think. The intimidation of witnesses has been going on for awhile. The gangs threaten US police officers at their own homes.

Why would they want to kill their buddies who help them out? Possibly explaining the inexplicable attraction of many politicians to recent immigration bills.

Why would they assassinate U.S. Officials? Apparently our politicians and officials are Mexico’s best friend. Heck, they like Mexico and Mexicans better than they like their American constituents.

The US government condemned the threats and said it would try to protect US journalists working in Mexico.The War on Drugs creates the fantastic profits that empower the gangs.
Ending the War on Drug Users would depower the gangs.
