Nothing to worry about here. Its all under control.
Besides, this is really more of an Arizona problem.

Demand for illegal drugs in the United States is fueling the drug trade

Its not their fault for selling drugs, its our fault for buying them.

Its not their fault for buying and using guns, it our fault for selling them.

There are no sharks here in Amity.

There’s been a MSM blackout on the border war. Anyone here seen stats/reports from north of the Rio Grande on violence seepage? I recall reading here that Phoenix now leads the US in kidnappings...

[cookcounty]

....so those kidnap stories about Arizona are all wrong?

Oh, Phoenix doesn’t count because it isn’t on the border.

“There are no sharks here in Amity.”

That is the best quote on naked self-interest that I have seen.

Great! Let’s go for a swim...

Whether the violence is “spilling over” or not, they should build the dang wall. It’s a shovel-ready project. Put Americans to work. Guard the border — why is this so difficult?

We’re gonna need a bigger boat...

“We have not seen any evidence” of violence spilling over."

Okey dokey then we can station the NG along a line some 30 miles north of the border and post “No Man’s Land” signs. Let the border mayors deal with whatever comes their way. We wouldn’t want to interfer with crossings by animal or criminal.

This seems to be the latest talking points of the pro illegal aliens lobby - it is our fault, not theirs.

This makes a case for protecting our borders and deporting illegal aliens. Mexico is an enemy nation.

Sgt Schultz.....that’s perfect. Har!!

I’ve not heard Mayor Sanders (the mayor of San Diego) say the violence hasn’t spilled across the border. In fact, I’d say just the opposite. We know it has and we have the headless bodies to prove it!

Why do I think they are all Dems beholden to their party platform or no money and support for future runs? Besides, the problem is spread out... at least 150 cities now have Mx Drug Cartels so we can understand why they see no problem.

I found it interesting several years ago that what ever small town I stumbled upon during an odyssey, there was one Mexican and one Chinese restaurant. How they found the town unless it was organized was beyond me. In each restaurant there was ONE person who spoke poor English and a bunch of non English speaking, presumably illegal future Democrat voters. The Mx drug cartels explains one aspect, so what's with the Chinese?

With six kilos, you get egg roll.

Anyone just watch Megan Kelly hand Juan Valdez his azz on FNC just now? LOL!

[TADSLOS]

Err, Juan Hernandez, I mean. The other guy picks my coffee beans and bundles up coke.

“Mexican drug cartel violence is not spilling into Texas”

And there were no American’s at the Baghdad Airport either.
