#2 I have a really, really bad feeling that Mara Salvatrucha is well on the way to becoming the next al-Qaeda. It is spreading now over two continents, and while al-Qaeda worships death and chaos out of religion, MS does so out of the pursuit of money and power.

#3 I read a technothriller in the 90s about mexican narco gangs being the pretext for a US invasion of Mexico. How much of a fight could Mexico put up?

MIght be the best thing to happen to the people of Mexico if we invaded, cleaned the place up, and set up a proper government.

#4 Isn't it something like this that lead the US to send down Black Jack Pershing before WW I. He almost caught Poncho Villa.

#7 the Mexican's crossing the border has been tolerated because for the most part, they are not violent and they are hard workers who contribute to our society.

Good grief, people, take a lesson from history now and then. Attack America if you feel like having us descend on you and crush you.

#9 More false honor to masked their failed social-economic-political and xenophobic behaviors of their peers and their government.

#10 Mexico needs to have adult supervision rammed down their fake-nationalistic machismo throats. Either by US intervention or uprising - with all it's uncontrolled possibilities

I'd be in favor of a punitive expedition. Go in, break a LOT of shit, then leave and let the rest of Central America divide it up between themselves.

I'm kinda liking this. Let's just proceed to the collateral damage and be done!

#14 Heck, collateral damage - in Mexico? What that would take all of all lunch break. Just leave the coast line for spring break.

I am afraid that you will need to adjust your statement---Mexicans used to make contributions to the economy and used to be fairly law-abiding (with the exception of the illegal bit). We are now seeing that they have discovered the Welfare State and are hard at work taking advantage of the system. At this point each immigrant is prbably taking 1.1 times what they contribute . . . if they are here legally. The illegals take about 2.5 of what they contribute. It is choking CA hosptials to death. How long before it begins to choke the healthcare systems in other states?

Time to take care of the problem, one way or another.

#18 I'd like the liberation of baja - nice beaches, surf and once you get past the border (hustlers), the people are really nice. A one-time strike makes me wanna get my Wild Bunch DVD out (again) for review :-)
