What a wonderful world it would be if Texas had Switzerland as a neighbor instead of the mess of Mexico!

Gutierrez, who has hidden two years and three months in U.S. territory awaiting political asylum, called his president as “inept and illegitimate.”

His old president or his new president?

Yep--but also Spanish. Most places you go, the store clerks speak English as fluently as Spanish, so they are obviously bi-lingual. And if you aren't, good luck getting a job!

But many of the "old Mexican" EP population is NOT happy about illegal immigrants--they had to jump through the hoops to become US citizens, and feel that's the only way citzenship should be obtained. Plus, they don't like having their tax dollars go to supporting these people--who the government of Mexico is happy to see go across the Rio and thus become our problem, not theirs!

“It’s not just pandering politicians you need to purge, it’s the leaders of your so called ‘Christian’ churches like the Catholics, Mormons and Lutherans who aid and abet the illegality of immigration that you need to deal with!”

This has been planned at the highest levels and they are on board to secure their positions. Religion has nothing to do with it, only money and power. As it always was.

Lugar: Mexican drug lords ‘most immediate’ threat to U.S. security
By Mike Lillis - 09/26/10 02:44 PM ET
The Senate’s top Republican on foreign policy said this weekend that drug traffickers operating on the Mexican border pose a more immediate national security threat than domestic terrorists.

Sen. Richard Lugar (Ind.), senior Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is calling on the White House to intensify efforts to help Mexico fight drug lords at the border, where escalating violence has killed tens of thousands of people in the past few years.

“Transnational drug trafficking organizations operating from Mexico represent the most immediate national security threat faced by the United States in the Western Hemisphere,” Lugar said in remarks prepared for an Indiana-based training for Mexican prosecutors Sunday, Reuters reports.

“The United States should undertake a broad review of further steps the U.S. military and the intelligence community could take to help combat the Mexican cartels in association with the Mexican government.”

The Indiana Republican is suggesting the U.S. military and intelligence communities provide Mexico with more surveillance help, to combat the flow of drugs, money and weapons across the 1,969 mile border

Instead of running to El Paso, they might want to start their own TEA Party and get rid of their antagonists.

I think they need their own army, not TEA Party. To do that, they need their own guns and paramilitary organizations as the government either can't or won't protect them.

Guns (for honest people) are outlawed in Mehico. Therefore, there is not much other option but to run. Unfortunately, they are running here for "safety". The cartels are following the well worn paths north. The "safety" is not going to last long - either for them or us.

I strongly suspect the cartels will soon start expanding to wholesale kidnapping and ransom of American citizens they take back to Mexico. There are millions of rich Americans (certainly richer than most Mexicans) living close to our border and lots of ways to get them back across the border. Neither our authorities nor law can't chase them back into Mexico and the Mexican government can't do much about it. They can't even protect their own.

This is going to get really ugly, really fast when people start disappearing and then ransom notes and body parts start showing up in this country.

It has already worked its way into Arizona. That is what Gov. Brewer has been shouting about but nobody in the District of Corruption wants to listen. Their biggest worry is “racial profiling”. I guess when a war breaks out here, they might send some troops. Political correctness is about to get a whole lot of Americans killed.

Interesting article.

Calderon, like all of Mexico’s leaders, is corrupt and on the take of the drug cartels. Ever since the US gave him and Mexico over 1 billion in the Merida Inititiative....the drug cartels have grown

The only way to fix the problem in Mexico is to seal the US border, deport all those illegaliy here, and end NAFTA (trading with drug cartels only empowers and enriches them)

El Paso has always had at least that many Mexicans commuting to work everyday. I guess most of them are sleeping in El Paso now as well as working there.

Passing NAFTA was a huge mistake.

About 124,000 people, or 53.9 percent of the total, have sought safe haven in El Paso, Texas, which is just across the border...

I loved El Paso, when I visited it in 2000. Its destruction would truly be sad.

I have no problem with multiculturalism, as it existed then, but I suspect things have changed.

I fear that the Ciudad Juarez Citizens Security and Coexistence Observatory is not really that, but an illegal immigrant promotion front.

I notice that it is not reported that those 124,000 new residents of El Paso are 99.9% illegal. That's got to bring the infestation closer to home.

Do they still speak english there?

Very broken. But you can get this great Budweiser specialty beer. Has Tomato Juice and Clams. Yum. Yum.

El Paso is Mexico with more Guns.

Los Angeles is Mexico with more Amusement Parks.

San Francisco is Mexico with more Gay Bars.

And the list goes on...

Pretty much what always happens in a situation like this.

They will do whatever they can to keep themselves safe in their environment and in so doing they will create the same conditions that caused the drug cartels to rise up.

A corrupt society never stays safe for long.
