My friend seems unaware.

Are they Democrats? I was raised on our Texas border, man, what does it take for people to "catch on" to that country? I'm sure you've been reading AuntB's posts, right? Ought to send your friend a few. AuntB has her ear to the ground on this issue.

My friends are European liberals and fortunately they have never become citizens of the US so they don't vote. We (my family) have spend many years during hunting season in South Texas and we have watched the deterioration take place. My friends live south of Cuernavaca so border problems are far away. But Mexico City and other parts of Mexico have not escaped violence. When I try and talk to them all they say is “there are murders in Houston too”. I wonder if they are even aware of Mexico's crime and corruption or have they just turned a blind eye because they live there and can't do anything about it.
