Violence raging in Mex drug war worse than terror in Colombia

#3  I go to mexico regularly, and live in california. Mexicans here and there don't seem to care about violence and mayhem. They are completely enamored with the gangster lore and lifestyle the way the black community is with the 'gangsta' imagery.
Music and movies are rife with it in mexico and youngsters all dream of getting a gun and an expensive pickup truck.
In short, they don't want it to stop, and they don't care, as long as it doesn't affect them directly.

#2  Enforce the border. This may well turn out to be a sleeper issue that catches the political class completely unawares in 2012.

Stop the mexification of America. Enforce the f***ing border, crack down on employers of illegals, and for god's sake move to a points-based immigration system, already. We don't have much time left.

#1  In Mexico, the government would face severe political blowback if it were to allow U.S. intervention. “As of now, U.S. military boots on the ground in Mexico is just not going to happen,” Posey said. “ItÂ’s a very culturally sensitive issue.”

Seal the border and let them fight it out. Then keep the border sealed.
