The U.S. government has sent more than $376 million to Mexico in the past decade for that country's military and police to help stop alien and drug smugglers, guard against terrorists and protect America's southern border, including $50 million due this year. The money, quietly authorized through State and Defense department programs, has been used to train and equip the Mexican military and police, drawing disagreement on whether those institutions are part of the solution for U.S. border security, or are part of the problem.

Need I say anything!

[RouxStir]

Yes, I should have said something: This is an impeachable offense!

37 million a year for ten years is not a lot.

We can drop 10 billion a year at the drop of the hat for Africans who can't keep their hands off if diseased hookers.

to train and equip the Mexican military and police

And the Zetas, who now work for the drug cartels, thanks the dumb gringos for financing the military training they're now putting to use firing on Border Patrol agents and engaging in gang warfare in the streets of Nuevo Laredo.

for Africans who can't keep their hands off if diseased hookers.

Bill Clinton move to Africa?

[A CA Guy]

No we used assets against the weapon of mass destruction in Bill Clinton's pants. Of course Hillary knew nothing about that weapon.

"37 million a year for ten years is not a lot."

It's $376 million more than we should be giving a country that is at war with us.

Any complaints from the Vatican lately ? : )

[okiecon]

How much is that deficit again? I say screw the Africans, Mexicans, and everyone but the Americans (and our real allies, most of whom do not need charity).

What an amount... was Mexico able to use that amount for the right purpose?

[Just Lori]

Bump for later

[A CA Guy]

Oh come on, next you are going to tell me we should let the good people of North Korea starve because they have a bastard in power that is oppressing them.

[A CA Guy]

We are better than a lot of other cultures and that is why we help.

I think the whole UN and especially the parts that use money and distributes it should be given a thorough enema.
