Let me remind you, again, that there are unwilling, and specifically identifiable victim(s) in every case of rape, murder, and stalking.

You are right about the topic thread. I apologize for responding the way I did.  What I picked up on was from the third paragraph of the article, "They provide firepower, security and the force needed to oversee shipments of narcotics and smuggled aliens along the border and up Interstate 35, which runs through Texas and Oklahoma."

Mexico is a third world country, but not due to a shortage of resources or a capable workforce.  It is a third world country by design to benefit a small minority of their population.  As hard as I try, I can't help but think some of our citizens are also involved, and I have trouble accepting this.

Ending the illegal drug trade would certainly dry up some of the profits the cartels make now, but that would likely have them impose stiffer extortion upon the Mexican nationals here now.  Even now, these cartels are expanding their smuggling operations to include pirated goods manufactured in China.

Agreed, so the dealers and users need to quit stalking each other.

Right, if they would legalize drugs, rape, murder, stalking among other things, tomorrow the world would indeed be a different place.

Rape, murder and stalking are activities, drugs are inanimate objects.

So who are all the violent people carrying all the illegal drugs across from Mexico to the United States?

The violence along the border has reached a point where some are questioning President Vicente Fox's ability to govern the country.

Ya think?

A senior U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official, Anthony Placido, told Congress last week that Mexico's corrupt police forces were "all too often part of the problem rather than part of the solution" in fighting the drug cartels.

No kidding.

And this is a country our elites want us to join together with in the North American Union!

We're going to depend on Mexican law enforcement to guard our "common border!"

I won't flame you for your comments and hope no one else does.  It actually had me reflect further on a quote, "The business of government is business", mistakenly attributed to President Calvin Coolidge.  I referred to this the other day in a completely unrelated thread.  What President Coolidge actually said in his speech was "After all, the chief business of the American people is business", AND he added, "Of course the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence".

No flame here, but Mexico is corrupt beyond belief. Remember what Cesar Chavez said about the barrel of Mexican crabs. Our national craving of dope don't help matters either.

Business relationships aren't "stalking," obviously. But you knew that, which explains the funny face.

drugged people violate the rights of employers and employees regarding their personal safety and liability risks to all around them.

SOME drugged or drunk people do that, and they should be punished FOR THOSE VIOLATIONS rather than for the drug or alcohol use that in and of itself violates no rights.

bayourod,

The (illegal) immigrants are in Houston. Proud of them now? I hope you aren't mistaken for a drug smuggler by the "Zetas."
