Quoted:
Why do they always try to blame the USA. 
Its either our guns or our demand for drugs or we are not sending them enough money so its our fault people die in Mexico.  After reading things like this... with my wandering mind, I question: Why is it that we don't discuss the merits of mass graves? |

Quoted:
I can't listen to an Austrailian accent. I was thinking it was Australian. Very grating. I'm surprised they'd hire someone with that strong of an accent to put in front of a camera. It just shows how easy it still is to get drugs over the border, if the fight is about who gets to be located right by the border. We're not going to clamp down on drug laws in the US. The rising voice is in the opposite direction, trying to legalize some. Which I'm sure, the legalize pot crowd will use this violence as a further argument that we need to legalize it. |

Its either our guns or our demand for drugs or we are not sending them enough money so its our fault people die in Mexico. I can't remember who said it, but I heard a great commentary a couple years ago about how the root of Mexico's problems go back the the fact that they never kicked out the conquistadors. They have a two-layered society with descendants of the conquistadors on top and the descendants of the Indians on the bottom. Ever notice that most of the people you see on Mexican TV shows don't look like the guys hanging out in front of Home Depot? |

Quoted:
I can see Juarez from my kitchen window. It looks especially beautiful through the scope of my .308. That is as close as you will find me to that shithole. Eh, coming to a city and town near you thanks to liberals and neocon pieces of shit in the government. |

Wow , never even thought of that, although it makes a ton of sense. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Why do they always try to blame the USA.

It is to bad those who have never lived along the boarder do not understand the situation. The Mexican elite have learned if they blame the Norte Americanos, they will give them lots of money. Need more money? Blame the Americans and they will give more money to you. Then the ruling class in Mexico will steal the money from the poor Mexicans. It is a way of life on the boarder.
BTW, the claim that the land belongs to Mexico is bogus. Mexico never settled the land as they claim they did. Sure they had a few forts and ranches, but they never had control of the land. The land was settled by both Indians and American settlers who for the most part did not see themselves as Mexicans. What we know as El Paso was originally Franklin, Texas and what is now Juarez was El Paso del Norte (The passage to the North) The name was change after the revolution to Juarez in honor of Benito Juarez the revolution leader and Franklin, Texas changed their name to El Paso to keep the name recognition of the outpost on the frontier. |

A practical solution would be to use PMC's on the border instead of our military to avoid violating Posse Comitatus.(hope I spelled that right)
But put your tin-foil hat on and picture this: as the situation spirals out of control after a few high profile incidents on our side of the border, the Obama regime announces that because our military is spread so thin UN troops will be stationed on the border to control the situation. Probably never happen.No one could be that stupid, could they? |
