America has always been the Mexican safety valve to keep the pressure cooker from exploding. It isn’t politically correct to say so but it sure seems like revolution and unrest are the natural state of most latin American nations.
That’s the way it “appears”, to be politically correct.
Not only that, from a couple friends I know living in AZ and TX very close to the border, most of the news is being heavily filtered onto the national scene with regards to the violence and drugs associated with ‘the unrest’ in Mexico. Cross border hits (murder on US soil, kidnappings, beatings, cuttings) are common place now not to mention local LEO’s are doing very little to stop incoming product. We here do not even get 1/100th of the news of what’s happening now.
