This is in addition to the 53 killed in Juarez in the last 72 hours?

Not just the borders anymore. I’ve been telling the folks that think they are safe in the tourist beach resorts. Maybe they will believe me now.

Because the food tastes better than in Canada.

Funny how people who think it's dangerous to visit Israel give no thought at all to go into Mexico.

If it was up to the “US” Chamber of Commerce and the international business interests who strongly prefer open borders and millions of illegals working for $2/hr, we’d already be “Mexicanized.”

There was a day when US corporate interests and American people interests were somewhat aligned in that we all were interested in a strong American economy.

Now these corporate interests want an homogenized world where they can do anything they wish without regard to sovereignty or borders or laws. Conservatives need to consider exactly what it is they support.

Now might be a good time to buy a little surf restaurant/bar in Honduras or El Salvador. Get in on the ground level as these countries may be the next paradise vacation spots for Americans.

Welcome to Mexico, North America’s Somalia!

Please have your passport and body bag ready for inspection when you approach the border.
