Oh great! I’m headed to Guatemala for a week in January. I was told by a doctor who travels extensively to get out of Guatemala City as soon as my plane lands.

” Many of them, perhaps hundreds of thousands, will at some point head north and claim asylum.”

And they’ll bring their culture and love of Mexico with them.

The upshot is that as Mexico descends into warlordism marked by widespread criminality and gang warfare, we should expect ordinary Mexicans to respond the way ordinary Central Americans have. Eventually, they’ll leave. Many of them, perhaps hundreds of thousands

Hmmm, aren't the mexican aliens already illegally invading us?

And, isn't it more than just hundreds of thousands, thus far?

It sounds like great opportunities for massive drone kills.

I remember fifty years ago, in the anti-violence hysteria following the murder of Bobby Kennedy, someone reminding the news media that Mexico had more murders with knives than the US had with firearms.

The reply was that it was “because of the MACHO culture in Mexico, something that the US does not have.”

Well, now we do have it and it is even worse in Mexico, coming our way.

Sounds like time for a wider border and no-man’s-land to be established.

Either the cartels are getting more greedy or the drug trade is taking a hit.

The recent story about invaders using cutting tools to break through new wall sections definitely made we think that Predator drones should be deployed to take out such crews.

There is a reason ROME had Legions on the Rhine for centuries. When those legions disappeared, Rome was overrun with Huns, Vandals, Goths, and destroyed.

The chaos won’t stay south of the border.
And that is why we don’t need a Wall.
We need a freakin’ DMZ with minefields, machine gun towers, quick reaction forces, and helicopter gunship patrols.

Looks like the cartels are already here and dug in. The longer we wait to take them out the harder it will be.

War is coming and it doesn’t look like anything we envisioned before.

Time to legalize machine guns, grenades, bazookas, and flack vests for all law abiding citizens with a simple routine background check. No one will be innocent bystanders. Everyone will be on one side or the other.

I say all this with a bit a tongue in cheek sarcasm but it could get that bad if left unchecked soon. Take it to the cartels in Mexico for our benefit and to prevent Mexico from being a totally failed state run by cartels. Maybe it already is...

If nothing else; this proves gun control laws are as wrong-headed as wrong-headed gets.

Fake news isnt just what is reported by tye so-called “news” media. It is also what is not reported.

If the President Of Mexico isn’t screaming for help, then he’s in with the crooks.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

One thing the article says to which I take exception is where he says it’s a shame we aren’t paying attention to it. I’m definitely paying attention. It’s not my fault that most of the media aren’t reporting it.

Valid point.... there are a lot of things not being reported.

Fraud of public programs and benefits is the most under-reported story in America costing taxpayers a massive amount of money. Mexico and all of Central America has been descending into chaos for many years and it now appears certain that the “warlords” (aka organized crime) will win. In fact, there is evidence that they (immigrant organized crime) are now practicing the fraud here in America, but there is no public scrutiny.

The frightening fact in this story is how cartels now fight over legitimate industries such as agriculture. How long before they begin doing the same with public assistance programs here in the U.S.? While we are much more immune to rampant lawlessness by organized crime than these nations, it is a fact they go where they can make money.

I know that several different MSM sites are reporting this, but I have not seen one picture of any of it. I would really have a hard time accepting this even if it was a reputable news agency.

The Washington Post talked about Rebar ladders to get over the second wall. Ever tried to make something like that out of rebar? If it is thick enough not to bend under the weight of the person, the d**n ladder would be heavier than a Chevy.

Nobody is going up a rebar ladder without significant life events occurring.
