Why anyone would want to travel to Mexico in today’s climate is beyond me. As far as cartel violence in our country is concerned, I understand that the border states are under budgetary problems of major proportions, but since the federal government isn’t willing to step up to the plate, it’s either take on the job themselves, or support citizen militias. I’m for the latter.

It’s a rare day on FR that someone doesn’t tell me that there is NO danger in Mexico and they still vacation there and that the rest of us are just paranoid.
This article can’t be posted on FR, but it’s interesting, written by a former Bush adviser and sent to us by NAFBPO.

highlights: there is a growing relationship between extremist groups and drug traffickers, well entrenched at our southern border.
Known associates of terror groups have mixed with some of the same document forgers and illicit service providers
that drug cartels use. This intersection of people is a major cause for concern.
When it comes to the southern border, the key is in preventing the smuggling of nuclear devices by extremist groups, by addressing this national-security threat at our borders, we will also reduce other illicit activities such as trafficking of humans, weapons and drugs.
