When the US military notices a failing country, you know the OSI, CIA are already there to monitor things. The NSA has a list of bad people already. If it goes to hell, AC-130s are going to have to burn down everything a mile or two into Mexico with white phosphorous. Nothing survives that. Then the heavy equipment rolls in within 48 hours loaded and trained in Iraq. It’s easier Than Iraq was a few years ago. The males cabrones will be scared because OUR military has experience now in cities.
BobS, I don’t think there is a politician left in DC with the will to protect that border militarily, or in any manner. They’ll let the entire population, along with the countries south of Mexico come here before they’ll stop it.
And as Mexico continues to implode, the people will be here.

Mexico President Felipe Calderon wants to talk to President-elect Barack Obama about better treatment of Mexicans in the United States illegally. He should change his laws to accommodate U.S. citizens before he asks the same of our country.
For four years I lived in Mazatlan and Senaloa, Mexico. My visa was good for only 180 days, and then I had to leave the country. I was told I would go to jail if I didn’t leave for 72 hours. I also had to have working papers on me or face jail and deportation.
In Mexico, no foreign citizen can hold any paying job if there is a Mexican citizen who could do the job. You have to be a citizen to own property. You can purchase property on a fee-simple, 30-year lease, but you cannot own property outright, and to own a business, you have to have a Mexican citizen as a partner.
Get caught in Mexico with a firearm or even a bullet and you will never get out of jail. Everywhere I went I was told, “If you’re going to live in Mexico, learn to speak Spanish.”
Fair is fair.
