At least 82 candidates and office holders have been killed since the electoral season kicked off in September,

Does this qualify for (pardon my french) shit hole status?

[BenLurkin]

Yup.

Very much so.

[Lurkinanloomin]

This is the culture that the Bush League Republicans insist that we allow to colonize our country.

[dfwgator]

Shithole country.

We’re going to have to eventually occupy Mexico.

[PeterPrinciple]

Mexico posted a record of nearly 29,000 homicides last year, attributed mainly to organized crime and fallout from the drug war.

not guns and global warming?

[BenLurkin]

Respectfully disagree.

A strong defense of our southern border is preferable to a protracted military campaign in Mexico. The Mexicans are fiercely proud people, and even if the central government were to submit, the population would not.

(Also, unfortunately, Mexico has already occupied parts of the USA)

[dfwgator]

I just think eventually Mexico is going to be in a state of total anarchy, and if that happens there isn’t a wall that will be able to keep them out.

[PeterPrinciple]

Seeds of the current mayhem were planted more than a decade ago when the Mexican government, backed by the United States, set out to topple the heads of Mexico’s leading drug cartels.

But the crackdown splintered established crime syndicates into dozens of competing gangs.

and there it is.......................

The choice is centralized corruption or localized corruption. Neither is good but choose...................

I wonder if the lying media “forgot” to mention that most of the killed politicians are from the right, like Venezueluan political victims.
Given that leftists have always resorted to blood and violence against their political opponents, it’s entirely possible.

[LostInBayport]

Build the wall!

[Rurudyne]

End the illegal occupation and deport all illegal aliens.

[BenLurkin]

I’m not sure that’s true. Mostly it’s about drugs.

[NEMDF]

Well, I am surprised to see them maintain a pace of killings that exceeds that allegedly used against those who offended the Clintons.

[BenLurkin]

Poor America. So far from God, and so close to America.

[faucetman]

Quick! Let’s build a wall between us and that shithole country.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Mexico is already occupying big chinks of the USA.

[Lurkinanloomin]

chunks

[dfwgator]

Mexico is already occupying big chinks of the USA.

Uh oh, the ChiComs aren't going to like that, LOL.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But Mexico has strict gun control laws how can this be? Is there a Mexican David Hogg that Mexicans can proudly March behind?
