1. BUILD THE FREAKIN’ WALL!

2. Stop ALL tourist travel to Mexico.

3. Withhold payment of foreign aid dollars or oil purchase payments to compensate victims.

Here is a case of hysteria. My wife, a friend and I just returned from a visit ti some friends about 100km south of Guadalajara. The area around Lake Chapala has a full time expat citizenry of about 20,000 and a winter time population of 65,000. Crime is low, police (both local and federal) were polite and helpful. Border towns are not safe, but to condemn an entire population because of the activities of some is not the conservative way.

Liberals use broad definitions to condemn conservatives, we should not stoop to that level.

We were treated much better entering Mexico through Guadalajara than we were treated coming back through Atlanta. The most dangerous part of our trip was driving in the mountains trying to keep up with others. Speed limits there were actually low limits (I think).

We are going back permanently next year. Great climate, low prices and some of the friendliest people we have met. The Mexicans in Mexico are not the Wal-Mart variety we see up here.
