Where’s the fence, Jorge?
We’ve been giving anti-drug money to central and south America (including Mexico)for years and it hasn’t slowed down the drug traffic one iota.
Headline should read: United States to put $1 billion into the corrupt Mexican oligarchy's pockets.
Q: Why are the Drug gangs in Northern Mexico?
A: Because the US is their customer base and it's far too easy to get tons of drugs across the border. If we secured our Southern border so it was pointless to try crossing, the drug gangs would move on.
It's just like what was a very busy grocery store about 4 miles from my house that went out of business. The doors are locked and the shelves are empty. Guess what, no one is waiting at the door or in the parking lot because they know there is no food there.
The same is true for the Mexican drug gangs, if it's virtually impossible to get across our border, they too will leave looking for a better route.
If Bush really wants to get rid of the drug gangs, rather than line the corrupt politicians pockets in Mexico, he should spend the $1 billion to secure our border.
Aid?Looks to me like a guarantee of the free flow of drugs across the border.
** Sigh ** - I was such a big supporter of this guy. I regret voting for him. He’s like having a temporary employee that sells the company secrets to the competition and there is nothing you can do about it.
