I’m definitely not an much of a supposed expert as I might have fancied myself when I wrote my thesis, but it does seem that this explosion coincided with both the closing of the Caribbean route of coke from Colombia, as well as the whole NAFTA thing.
Ah that and the military campaign in the late 90s/early 2000’s that helped curb the narcos in Colombia.
The people arguing how inhumane our immigration policies are don’t have a clue how bad things are right now. I wonder how they’d feel if headless bodies started hanging from bridges here on this side of the border? That’s a foul thought, but could end up happening.
There are so many overly-civilized people in our country who think that nasty things like that can’t happen here. The bozos don’t understand that if you allow bad people to get away with things and get more power, they will just get worse and worse. At some point the bad guys will get more power than the people and we will become like Mexico. We have bcome a nation of fools and the biggest fools are the leaders in government, academia, media and cheap labor -loving businesses.
