Just smuggling the truckloads of marijuana that uppity Americans refuse to smuggle...
To: King Prout
The narco-trash in the Mexican army didn't want the pot to be lost - that might cut into their bottom line.

They must be harvesting some of the drugs from the U.S. National Park "fields" & shipping the pot back to Mexico.
The whole border issue steams me.

Driving a dump truck filled with marijuana: just doing a job no American wants to do...

Sounds good to me! I bet we could raise some serious cash selling raffle tickets to the general public to participate!

Seems like the Predator Drones need to be armed with anti-marijuana missiles (and maybe anti-bulldozer missiles)...

Make no mistake Black Jack Pershing would not be of any use in this situation, simply because the guy that sits in the White House will refuse to let the military or justice dept. to do anything to stop the invasion. Sad to say it but it will take another 9-11 this time even worse & the badguys being tracked to the US/Mexico border for the whores in Washington DC to even consider fortifying the border

Should have called in an air strike from the military and smoked all of them. Stupid government on the U.S. side of the border.

An armed standoff with Mexican dope smugglers, and the official Mexican Army, who are part and parcel of the smuggling operation.

Liberalitarians and Hippies hardest hit.

Unfortunately, there is so much money to be made in drugs that there are bribes paid to officials on BOTH sides of the border (meaning, the US Border Patrol isn't lily white, either).
But, yes, Mexican soldiers (paid very well by the drug runners) have used humvees to escort drug couriers as much as five miles into the USA; and nobody wants to take on their firepower (or create an international incident).
But one of these days, something will end up happening (meaning: shooting), and then everyone will regret not
doing something about this earlier, before there was violence.

Don't forget the pain addicts. Lord knows there's no other drug on Earth that handles acute or chronic pain.

I was being sarcastic about pot and pain. I hope you are too.
Pot is completely unecessary for pain control.

I was being sarcastic about pot and pain. I hope you are too. Oh yes. I have diabetic neuropathy (long story). I know what chronic pain is.
Pot is completely unecessary for pain control.
There are some illicit drugs that are good at pain control, and all have incredibly devastating physical dependence syndromes. I used to work with people who were picking up the pieces of their lives after falling prey to that devastation. It was through those times that I learned that God's mercy can be severe.

Maybe maybe not. Some of their special forces have supposedly gone to the dark side and work for drug lords.

A 50 cal. BMG is a bulldozer missile and a darned good one too.

Either he's dead or he's in Mexico, still looking for Pancho Villa.
