Have any of you been reading foreign news reports over the past two years, on what is going on in Mexico? The country is undergoing a process of collapse, because the Mexican government is unable (or unwilling) to enforce the nations laws. Mexico has become what Colombia was in the 1980s and 1990s - a nation ruled by drug lords. The world's largest drug cartels have moved from Colombia to Mexico. Other forms of crime have exploded, and American tourists have been robbed on the streets of Mexican cities.
Kidnapping for ransom is one of the most lucrative businesses in the country, and many upper middle-class and wealthy families have hired bodyguards for their children. Some of those involved in kidnapping are Mexican police officers, many of whom are on the payroll of druglords. Judges, politicians, prosecutors, journalists, federal agents, and other employees of the Mexican government, regularly receive bribes from drug lords.
Mexico has become a third world hell hole, that is heading towards becoming another Afghanistan, Somalia, or Yemen. But it is right next door to America. If American immigration laws are not enforced quickly and aggressively, you can kiss America goodbye. All Americans who love their children, and want them to have a secure future in America, have a moral obligation to demand that their states pass laws similar to those of Arizona, to keep the Mexican drug lords from America.
While we spend so much time worrying about terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq, and whether Iran will develop weapons that threaten American lives, American ranchers are RIGHT NOW being murdered in Arizona and other border states. If Amnesty passes, and Mexican criminals get to take over America as they have done in Mexico, American children will be kidnapped on a massive scale, as the pickings are richer in America than in Mexico.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Los Angeles was one of the safest and most pleasant cities in the world, for middle-class families to raise children. Now, it has become a third world hell hole, where people are no longer safe in the streets, or in their homes.
Arizona should not be allowed to stand alone, in safeguarding the future of American children. Patriotic Americans must demand that their states pass laws similar to those in Arizona.
The mass deportation of illegal aliens will create millions of job openings for jobless Americans, which will benefit American youth and America's own poor people.
By the way, Ralph Peters has a piece in the New York Post, in which he makes the same point. He insists that Mexican drug dealers are a greater threat to the lives of Americans, than Wahabi Muslim terrorists and Iranian Mullahs. According to Peters, Mexican drug dealers have murdered over 22,000 people in the last few years, and things are about to get even worse in that unfortunate country.
The cities right over the border are war zones.
“Judges, politicians, prosecutors, journalists, federal agents, and other employees of the Mexican government, regularly receive bribes from drug lords.” Sound familiar? Look to your own politicians.
You think it was great in Los Angeles in the 60’s and 70’s? You should have been there in the 50’s. I rode a bike to school for two miles (of course it was up hill both ways). I sold newspapers on a major corner in Los Angeles and rode my bike home in the dark with a pocket full of money. I walked between cars at a signal when selling papers. Some people didn’t have the right change so I would give them the paper and they payed me the next day. Different world back then.
“Mexican Drug Dealers Are A Greater Threat To American National Security Than Muslim Terrorists”
Anyone who doesn’t believe this needs to check out the NAFBPO reports on fr.

Disagree. The Islamic terrorists are motivated by ideology. Drug dealers are motivated by profit. You can dissuade the drug dealers by making the cost/benefit unattractive. You cannot dissuade the ideologue.

Well, the drug dealers are next door, while the jihadists are thousands of miles away. Tough enforcement of immigration laws can keep jihadists from coming to America, and deport those that are already here.
In any case, the federal government is not doing much to “make the cost/benefit unattractive”. You can ask the families of the American ranchers who have been murdered, by the government’s failure to enforce immigration laws.
WOD or WOT
Sadly, Many Americans are surrendering in en masse in both fights.
I have long advocated a need for armed forces on our border. Not just to control the illegal immigration, but to combat the invasion of our country by drug terrorists.
We read of the thousands of Mexicans that have been kiled by drug lords. But we really know very, very little. One of the reasons why we don’t read much about this is that the cartels are killing any and all journalists who even dare write about it. And if you are a Mexican LEO? Forget it. You are either working for the cartels, or you are dead.
And this violence has spread over to the US. Google “Fort Hancock” as just one example. It won’t be long before the drug cartels have enough “troops” in our US cities that we will soon be seeing WOD murders on a daily basis. Houston is a case in point.
And what’s truly sad is the idiots (many here at FR) who want to legalize dope thinking this will run the cartels out of business and solve all our problems.
Ping!
>Mexican Drug Dealers Are A Greater Threat To American National Security Than Muslim Terrorists>
That is total BS
I live in San Diego, sitting 20 miles north of the largest and busiest border crossing in the world. San Diego - Tijuana.
Yes, the killings, kidnappings cartels, etc have been going on for years along with tons of illegals.
3 Muslims Terrorists living 6 miles from me here in San Diego, flew a plane into the Pentagon on 9/11.
Their Imam, living here in San Diego Anwar al-Awlaki
for 4 years then moved on to Yemen.
He radicalizes terrorists and one he radicalized via computer was the Dr. who killed several soldiers at Ft. Hood. HE radicalized the Nigerian face to face who later tried to set off a bomb over Detriot last Dec.
Many Muslim Terrorists have been found out and taken in before they plannned to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, and many other sites and people over the years.
I live on top of the Mexican situation and in no way you can say that is a greater threat than the Muslims who declared war on America.
The purpose of ballistic missiles is to make that irrelevant.
