A Gathering Storm....Mexico's newest threat to usIt has been reported that the State Dept. issued a warning that American citizens, if they should travel to Mexico, should limit their visit to only business or tourist areas. Violent crime along the U.S.-Mexico is particularly dangerous and getting worse.
Nice huh? Now, what's going to stop the Mexican drug lords from coming here? The report stated that drug cartel people are coming here and recruiting. The politicians have done little to stem this tide, and now I wonder how much worse it has to get before they DO SOMETHING! How many ways do we have to be vulnerable? And we have a babe in the woods in the White House! He's only prepared to be tough on.........us. I'm almost ready to grab my torch and pitchfork!!!
More than 6000 people were killed in drug violence in Mexico last year. In Ciudad Juarez signs were left on bodies saying they had promised to kill one officer every 48 hours until the police chief resigned. This is an area across the Rio Grande from El Paso Texas. Folks, it’s only a matter of time, before we here in the U.S. find ourselves in the middle of drug wars, with drug cartels controlling large parts of our cities.
We have complained, cajoled, and begged for our politicians to protect our borders and the American people from this onslaught. Their answer so far, has been amnesty. The Immigration Reform Bill which we effectively defeated, I’m sure temporarily, actually merely asked illegal alien gang members to sign a paper swearing they would no longer belong to a gang. Well now, that’s reassuring isn’t it. People who kill others for fun, I’m sure, will abide by that!
We have enough of our own home grown criminals, we do not need anyone else’s. This portends of chaos and further degradation of our cities, we cannot tolerate importing more crime. If Mexican drug cartels are successful in recruiting here, they will ostensibly own urban areas all over the U.S. Now couple this with terrorist cells and Islamist threats and I don’t have to tell you what our country will be facing. Meanwhile we have sanctuary cities, appeasers too numerous to mention among our elites and politicians, and a refusal from too many police chiefs, city councilmen, and judges to deal seriously with this problem.
Basically, it appears that, more and more, we are on our own. The people we elect seem unconcerned about us, the American people. Oh, they pay all this lip service, but you and I know nothing will be done. At least until some terrible disaster that costs enough lives to get their attention. And, even then, just look at how quickly 9-11, for too many, is a faded memory. President Bush took them on and has been verbally crucified for it. We are in a perilous position. Is anyone listening?
Priscilla, thanks so much for this warning...so well said. But, how can we expect crooks to fear us as a country and respect our laws when those laws say one thing but cities (even Washington DC!) call themselves 'sanctuary cities' and the laws don't apply?! How long can America stay alive when we're the dirty door mat?? The Mexican cartels will blend with La Raza, etc., and with Islamist terrorists, and then what?
CAN AMERICA SURVIVE?

America could survive if the politicians really cared.
Anybody listening to Chimpy's speech tonight?
Juarez is even too dangerous for it's Mayor, he moved his family to El Paso.

FJ. I got to "no earmarks on this bill" and I turned it off.
Planned to play some Schumann or Beethoven instead. Sat at the piano and just shut the light out.
FJ: I'm not listening, but then again, I had to work and there's not enough bourbon or tranquilizers on Earth to get me through it...
As for the post, with the rampant kidnappings and murders, there's no way any sane person should go to Mexico AT ALL.
Brooke, do you realize how fast this has happened? I'm in California, as you know...people GO TO MEXICO, they have houses in MX, their kids go down to MX to do Christian missionary work... I'm talking LAST SUMMER.
This is incredible.
It's like the whole world's in a very quick tailspin. it's NUTS, chica!
I don't know. Something smacks of "black helicopter" to me with this story. I know there are problems down there, but I don't believe they're as big as they're blown out to be.
I worry more about sudden, never seen before comets rather than worry about a bunch of beaners that can easily be taken out with a .50 cal.
I used to live about 70 miles from Juarez...anything is possible I suppose.

There are enough American dollars finding their way to Mexico already. There is no need for Americans to go there and leave even more of them.
Steve, "bunch of beaners that can easily be taken out with a .50 cal." What a racist remark!!!!! Besides, you better be real good at reloading, they have assault rifles, rockets, grenade launchers and a shitload of other military arms. And, IT IS AS BAD as you've heard!
Hey Farmer, did you listen to Booby Jindal's (R _ Phil Gramm Clone) rebuttal?
Even David Brooks said he did boom-boom all over the floor.
Catch these responses:
BRIT HUME: "The speech read a lot better than it sounded. This was not Bobby Jindal's greatest oratorical moment."
NINA EASTON: "The delivery was not exactly terrific."
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: "Jindal didn't have a chance. He follows Obama, who in making speeches, is in a league of his own. Jindal tried the best he could."
JUAN WILLIAMS: "It came off as amateurish, and even the tempo in which he spoke was sing-songy. He was telling stories that seemed very simplistic and almost childish.
Man, even the Krautzenjammer Kid admits Obama wiped the floor with him. Bad night for the "tax cut" crowd.
The Republican Party seems to have a death wish.
Ducky, some of us think substance is more important than style..go figure.
Funny, I heard Juan Williams live and didn't hear 'childish'..odd.
You are SO angry and what...scared?
YOU WON! We'll have four years to get STYLE (oh, you lefties love style, I remember those Greek columns) and we'll have obama's abysmal failures (sadly) to run against. I guess that might worry me, too.
"EVEN" David Brooks? What's that mean? The man's a total liberal...no conservative cache anymore. You should pay more attention! He's even one of those 'conservatives' that David Gregory (and even Tim Russert sadly, towards the end there couldn't have strong conservatives on panels anymore, sad) invites on....someone who won't upset the boat with too many good conservative credentials...and style enough to talk them.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The trans-Texas corridor is planned to go right through my town, and this is SERIOUS. It will open the door for millions of illegals from Mexico to come straight up to Texas, much easier than they are right now.
We used to go to Juarez every summer, roam the streets freely. We loved it there, and we loved the people. I'm sad that we can't go back. No more. Never again. The chief of police recently quit after 48 hours due to death threats.
and nearly 1000 killed this year
Pinky, isn't that awful?
Will more and more police chiefs in America cities quit due to death threats? Who doesn't think islamists are thraetening and THAT could be why England's folding? ("you come down hard on us, and we'll blow up every tube station in London") Or Paris OR NYC?
Elbro...exactly right.
Ducky, legalize what? An invasion?
On the news this morning, it was reported that Governor Perry has requested one thousand troops to guard the border.
If Mexico does become a failed State as some have suggested, they'll be headed north in droves.
Z, you're so right. Style over substance seems to be the order of the day for liberals.
When people can't think for themselves, they tend to join cults. Obama is a world class cult leader. He attracts the lemmings, who will follow him right off that cliff.
Steve, I don't think using epithets speaks well of you. Please, could you refrain from from that?
Pris
These wars down south are being fought over drugs and the money made by them. It's time to devalue drugs the only way possible. Legalize, tax, and distribute.
How is Mexico today all that different from the United States during prohibition? If you make the drugs legal, you take away the power of a dealer, which in turn takes away the power of the supplier, which in turn takes away the power of the drug lord.
And don't tell me this would ruin the youth of today. Any child with the inclination to get drugs will get the drugs.
Or the US could quit worrying about the border, and work with Mexico on solving the problems in that country. Boohoo that'll cost tax money. Well how about you spend your wasted dollars on a losing battle in the middle east somewhere else?
Yeah, ElBro. I heard that. Disgusting.
Rick Perry announced $138 Million to go towards immigration control, etc.
This should've been done over 10 years ago. I STILL can't figure out why Bush was so easy on Mexico!?
I don't know, Z. I can scarcely let the thought of police chiefs in the US quitting even enter my mind! I have a feeling that the war on illegals will be our number two problem during this administration. That is, if Obama will acknowledge it.
Pinky. $140 million is going to STD prevention and TX is getting less than that to keep illegals out?
Oh, BROTHER!!
But attorney general IS concerned.
So, it seems President Obama and Mr. Holder want to bring back that assault weapons ban, due to the problem with Mexico.
Isn't that grand??
I can sleep better at night knowing the O has my back.
