Look at the chaos in Mexico - that is because of the open border. Now we are concerned that the violence might spill over into our territory. Twenty years of open border has allowed a huge network of Mexican cartel criminals to set up business throughout our country. Most of the drugs that come into the country today comes from Mexico. Many of the gang members that infest our streets are illegal aliens. These street gangs sell the drugs on our streets and pass on the profits back to the cartel leaders in Mexico. Seventy percent of all Mexican illegals come through human trafficking rings - this is organized crime. That means billions of dollars going back to the Mexican cartel leaders. Not protecting our borders adequately has allowed the Mexican cartel leaders to amass billions of dollars which they use wage war on the government of Mexico. What we are witnessing in Mexico is just like the cocaine revolution of Columbia twenty years ago. The Colombian drug cartels became so powerful that they openly waged war against the government. They attacked the Colombian supreme court building, assassinated a presidential candidate and set off bombs in public places killing many innocent people.

You would think that after the experience with Columbia that our leaders would do everything not to allow the same thing to happen again. But no, they facilitated lawlessness for twenty years by not arresting illegals as they were caught, instituting sanctuary cities and generally looking the other way. Now we have another Columbia or perhaps another Iraq on our borders.

If the “comprehensive immigration reform” crowd gets their way we will have another Iraq within the United States as the millions of illegals in the country plus the millions of more of their families which they will bring in here, will destabilize our country and divide it into a Hispanic vs. an English country. We are living in very dangerous times. God help the United States of America.

English political influence has been grand for America. Spanish influence in latin america has been horrendous for latin america. Funny how the political philosophy/culture differs so greatly.

To me mass immigration from a country that doesn’t realize and correct it’s own faults is a lose-lose situation. People left Europe because it was acting dumb, not because they thought it was the emblem of what America should be. Eventually Europe realized the error of it’s ways (mostly), and one of these days so will the latin countries.
