are we seeing the evolution of the openly violent Mexican gangs?

Yes! coming to a city near you soon!

Another major reason to protect the borders and stop them from coming into our country. The state department realizes there is a serious threat on the other side of that border yet will do nothing to protect us on this side??

A shot across the bow. Our Ambassador to Mexico is Graza a very close George friend and a great Ambassador. A short time after he arrived in Mexico the Iraq war started and Garza had the entire Embassy tied in a yellow ribbon. The Mexicans were stunned as Graza let them know where he stood.

A technicality--this isn't a travel warning its a Public Announcement a step down in severity but the Mexicans who live on tourism apart from drug $ and remittances from their "immigrants" in the US must be in a tizzy.
