They are on borrowed time.
True, but so are we. It ain’t going to be pretty here when Mexico catches fire.
Well, lots of places were supposed to be on borrowed time. Sweden was going to collapse years ago. So was North Korea. Cuba was only given six months forty years ago.
And what about us?
Asked sincerely.
I live @100 miles from Tiajuana.
Both we and Mexico are on borrowed time.
Have we ever asked the question why our own politicians don't want to close the borders or halt this murderous drug trade? Guess whom - and at what highest levels - are probably already in the pay of the cartels?
Does it make any sense why billions of untraceable dollars in drug profits and payoffs would stay strictly in the hands of Mexican officials? It only makes sense that this is one of the major reasons we refuse to close off our borders and stop the trading in drugs and human beings. It's not just "cheap labor" and "votes". Some of our politicians and officials are already likely being handsomely paid off!
As the war winds it's way north, it will get even bloodier. Imagine it coming soon to your neighborhood. Guess what. It already has. Mexican drug gangs already operate in my town - and I live 1000 miles from the border!
The same violence, murder, torture, kidnapping, and intimidation as in Mexico will soon be appearing here - if it already hasn't (and it increasingly is). When the cartels start running out of money down there from their ransoms and "protection" rackets, they know they can get lots, lots more in El Norte where the fat, lazy, corrupt, easily intimidated Gringos live. After all, if they can buy or intimidate their own politicians, they can do the same with our own politicians and officials as well.
In fact, they already likely do. Can anybody give me a better explanation of why we aren't serious about stopping this murderous outrage on our border and increasingly permeating our land?
