The Mexican border has become a very dangerous place, due to the drug cartels and coyotes. They patrol the Mexican side even more carefully than the Border Patrol patrols the American side. Anyone caught trying to sneek across the border without their permission is lucky if they are only robbed.
The Federales are really just guns for hire to the highest bidder, and they are certainly not above shaking down any Mexican citizens they run across. Its kinda like the wild west on the Mexican side, very little law enforcement, and what there is is usually corrupt.
Its all due to the war on drugs which puts such amazing amounts of money in the hands of the criminals, that they can effectively buy any law enforcement agents that they want especially on the Mexican side, but often on the American side too.
Until we put The U.S. Military on our borders we will continue to be invaded by dangerous criminals loaded with drugs or Islamic bastards that want to kill our citizens. The pin heads in D.C. better wake up or the ranchers and the other law abiding citizens will take care of it themselves. This is where we are at today our elected officials once again turn their back on their oath to defend our constiution. Lets vote 'em out of there and send 'em back home where they can get an honest job, if it's not to late! for 'em.
