Kidnapping scams, common in Mexico, find way to Houston

We ought to invade Mexico, clean it up, then give it back along with a bill for services rendered.

I refuse to cross the Mexican border ever again. Was a time when being a U.S. citizen in a third-world country meant something. Now it just gets you kidnapped or murdered. Thank a lot, open borders crowd (GWB, McInsane, The Swimmer...).

If you want a pleasant safe vacation to a third world country with all the modern amenities or rough it at the locals' level go to Viet Nam. And the people there love Americans. Go pretty soon, though. In a few years it won't be third world anymore.
