“Every Mexican living is a threat to this nations security. As the situation in Mexico worsens at some point every Mexican in the place will be running north.”

Too late....

The 2010 National Drug Threat Assessment said that “900,000 criminally active gang members representing approximately 20,000 street gangs” distribute drugs for the Mexican cartels in more than 2,500 American cities.

This could not be accomplished with a lot of official help. Without question----that would be the Mexican government and its strong-armed military who protect the cartels' passage over the border.

We need to see the emails, phone records and textings of the Ohaha admin, La Raza, amnesty pushers in Congress (Cutierrez and Guiljara among several), etc, to determine the scope and dimension of collusion with the Mexican government to pull off this ntl security threat.

NOTE WELL Many Mexican illegals are using the asylum scam----claiming drug violence forced them to flee over the border----to get on the US gravy train.

THE ASYLUM RIPOFF UP CLOSE A Social Security category provides outrageous government financial aid to "refugees" claiming "persecution." These phonies never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight...... and can get extended payments if they are politically well-connected. The SS checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more.

THE PROBLEM Drug lords are huge campaign donors to the Democrat party.

Hmmm, simple make it an Executable crime to ferry drugs across the border. Anyone caught with 1 pound of weed or 1 kg of coke gets shot immediately. If a group if caught with the above total amount then all are shot immediately. Post this in all newspapers around the world and broadcast with radio stations along the boarder.

I am pretty sure that the flow of drugs would slow down a lot.

Also any mexican drug growing operation discovered within the USA, especially within the national parks, will result in a fully publicized execution of ALL perps caught. NO TRIAL, NO APPEALS.

Make the punishment so harsh it will make those thinking about doing so think twice or thrice...

They're only a threat because we don't protect our border. A more immediate threat is the rapid incorporation of labor unions into a stealth branch of government and a political police force. There's your threat, right there, Dickie boy....

Hunters cautioned about Mexican Drug Cartel

September 25, 2010 7:44 AM

Local and Federal law enforcement and Oregon Hunters Association are warning hunters about the marijuana growth sites in the forest operated by Mexican Drug Cartels.

A joint press conference was held Friday with the various agencies, to provide safety tips for the public.

“The cartel is like a drug warehouse and they will anything they can do to make money,” said Sheriff Winters.

Winters says the best way to stay safe is to know your surroundings, noticing if anything seems unusual. For example, trimmed or manicured trees, walls of cut brush, canopies handing in the trees, are all signs. Also, pvc pipes coming out of streams is also an indication you are in a growth site. The growers most likely use the pipes for irrigation for the pot plants. Manually widened game trails, garbage piles are also signs and you should leave the area immediately.

Within the past two weeks, two archer hunters have been confronted by suspected pot growers who were armed. If you are confronted by a suspected grower, just walk away. Winters says they typically do not want to hurt you, instead scare you off.

“We have serious problem out there. You hear people say oh they’re just poor farmers or just marijuana growers,” said Sheriff Winters. “This drug is the number one cartel drug eight million dollars a year to the cartel.”

According to Winters, law enforcement has uprooted 125,000 marijuana plants in 30 different gardens. Each plant is worth $5,000.

“It’s a big business for them down there and they’ll do anything,” said Winters.

People who see anything unusual or suspicious in the forest are being asked to call local police.

There's only one answer to this crime wave:

Decriminalize Everything.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

What I’m saying is when Mexico’s eventual collapse happens we can expect a massive wave of Mexicans fleeing here.

And it will only continue and get worse until, if ever Mexico becomes a society based on the respect of and the rule of law. But since that isn’t likely to ever happen as I said it’s only going to get worse. I sure hope I’m not around in twenty years or so to see what happened to this great country.

Hmm, why go to all that trouble? Just legalize all drugs.

Yes... I understand and agree (missed your point). I just would place the blame on the failing Mexican government though. Really can’t condemn those trying to get away from the collapse.

“Can’t really condemn those trying to get away from the collapse’’. Sure I can, they’re part of the reason for the collapse. If Mexicans spent half the energy to fix their country as they do breaking into ours think what they could do. Deagle, I’ll tell you plain.: I’m sick to f’ing death of Mexico and it’s people thinking they got a God-given mandate to barge in here and me, you and every other tax-paying, law-abiding American is just supposed to shut up, roll over and get used to it. I’m f’ing sick of it. I’m sick of my taxes going up every year because Mexicans can’t make their country work.

Or we could just legalize pot and undersell them, taking away both their market and their income. (Not sure I want to legalize coke, though.)

Okay...not really sure I can disagree with you... Nicely said even though it did require a bit of enthusiasm.

Amen. Wasn’t Mexico allowed to join a lawsuit opposing Arizona’s immigration enforcement law? And another country, I think Ecuador? Un-freaking-believable. They can sue an American state to prevent them from enforcing American law.
