Mexico has become as violent as the south side of Chicago.

Just another example of how border security isn’t just about ‘keeping out migrants’ as the Left likes to create a false narrative over. Disrupting the free flow of criminal gang activity, organized crime, human trafficking, drug kingpins, etc. is also vital and cutting down on this behavior would improve the lives people on both sides of the border. In addition to being a domestic security issue, it is also a humanitarian issue - and that isn’t just a catch phrase...it is very true.

I know so many folks personally who drive down there all of the time. They have not had any incidents that they've reported, but I constantly read about the horrible crimes and I've seen the border crossing corridors which are a travesty - an ecological disaster.

The crossing corridors were my first true "education" on how bad the issue is. South of Benson AZ we passed through some areas known for crossing. Valleys stretching into the distance North and South. Maybe 200-300 feet wide, and every inch covered with garbage as far as the eye could see in either direction. It was obvious that thousands of people had passed through the area and over a long period of time had dropped every piece of filth that they could carry along the trail. Horrible...

Later I looked it up. Here are some images that come close.

Trash dumped in Arizona by illegal aliens crossing the border.

So Mexico keeps all their criminals and allows only the good non criminal people to illegally enter the USA?

Kidnapping is a cottage industry in Old Mexico.
