Here is our 2 billionth "wake up call" about Mexico and drug cartel violence. Just how many more do we need before we truly wake up and aggressively face this issue?????
Now the cartels are hiring people to assassinate in the USA!
(Mr. President, please listen to your Secretary of State Hillary Clinton! She is right about Mexico and you are wrong. Mexico is like Colombia of 20 years ago...and it is inching into our country.)

Mexican Senate receives bill to combat human trafficking
(Mexico City) The bill includes amendments to elevate the crime to the same level as kidnapping, rape, homicide and organized crime. It will also protect the victims identity and personal data and mandate remand for the accused under certain conditions. Human trafficking requires an interdisciplinary approach and a more active participation of federal, state and municipal governments, together with the participation of civil society. The bill was referred to the appropriate committee. (Note: Mexico is more lenient on releasing people pending trial, perhaps due to limited jail space to hold them. Thus this bill will be an improvement in mandating remand by a Judge.)

What an insult to hear anyone address this marxist moron as Mr. President! It’s an outrage to the history of this country! An insult to every god-fearing American who loves their country and is sickened by what this creep has done to it! ENOUGH! WE’VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!
soetoro is at war with The United States and will do everything in his jihadi power to bring it down, including nuclear conflict, before 2012.
We need troops on our own border NOW!
They are just killing people whom the DOJ, the US Congress,
and the Winter Hill and Chicago gangs, despise, hate,
scorn, steal from, and want raped and murdered.
Who is that? The American people who gave them their power.
Answer: Theater nuke set off in an American city..
Ugh.. thats not a nuke in a theater!... Duuuugh..
Pikers!
Obama: “Mexico is just fine and dandy...dont be racist!”
Time for the state militia to be called up.
Better yet that every citizen in AZ must be armed with a modern weapon, trained to use it and given ammunition.
An impenetrable line must be drawn in the sand, nobody crosses it.
Mexico has become the North Korea of America.
MEXICO SUCKS!KEEP THE PEOPLE OUT OF OUR COUNTRY AND OUR MONEY OUT OF THEIR “LEADERS” POCKETBOOKS!
Violence, drugs, filth spilling over into the US. WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS ON THIS????? When is enough enough????
