Last month, Mexican military officials in Matamoros, just south of Brownsville, Texas, stopped a tractor-trailer containing weapons and ammunition, along with a pickup truck fitted with armor and bulletproof glass. The weapons included 18 M-16 assault rifles, one equipped with an M-203 40mm grenade launcher. Also seized were several M-4 carbines, 17 handguns of various calibers, 200 magazines for different weapons, 8,000 rounds of ammunition, assault vests and other military accessories.

For all intents & purposes it already is a low level war ie best fought by limited military forces & local law enforcement as is laid out in various manuals such as the USMC's small wars manual .

As for the drug runners being proxies of the Mexican govt. no simply because the Mexican govt. is in the pay of the drug runners.

But, but they're Jorge's guests!

The first shots are not likely to be taken by our military, but by private citizens who decide enough is enough.

We've already had the first shots. Some of those ended with our own citizens and border patrol behind bars and US ranches taken away and given to the illegals.

I think the Mexican drug runners have paid off our Congress.

Nothing that plain & simple . The whores in D.C. are looking at the invasion & see voters once the amnesty is declared the Democrats know that they can promise money that never ends to the mexican hordes & they will get the Mexican vote & the Republicans are dumb F#CKS who think they can out socialist the socialists .

I wonder who all that was intended for?

Just doing the killings American's won't do dontcha know!

If they're ready for war with us, "Let's Roll!" Kill all the cartels and lunatic governmental problems, divide the place into four or five new states, lay down new government, no problem. Smaller border to the south of the current Mexico after we take it to defend our new real estate, in the coming twenty four hour war. We start by pulling back our people, and greeting their fighters with this...

In the video, most (if not all) of those ignorant politicians and "scholars" are from right here in Mexifornia. They really have convinced themselves that the southwest belongs to them, despite what history says. They either believe it, or they're trying to start a war with us by convincing the other idiots that it's true.

For those in other states, my advice is: NEVER, NEVER ELECT A POLITICIAN WITH A "LATINO" NAME. Their loyalties are with "their people", not America.

I'm convinced that Bush's real family name is Arbusto (bush in Spanish).

It is a shame that many of our elected leaders no longer consider themselves bound to the electorate or even to reason. Never before in the history of the United States have so many on Capitol Hill been so out of touch with the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Americans. Never before has our leadership been so willing to utterly ignore their duties to the Constitution, the rights of American citizens, and the very principles of America herself.

Absolutely true.

I was down in Cancun a couple of years ago and when we arrived back in the states we learned on the news that there was eight execution style murders just a mile or so from our hotel on a side road leading to the airport.

Hog tied with plastic bags over their heads, shot in the head. Scary stuff.

I didn't lose anything in Mexico, I'll never go back.
