Mexico: A Failed Country

I live in El Paso.  Today's HEADLINE story (along seemingly pretty much ignored nationally, as usual)  in the El Paso Times was about 11 people found murdered FRIDAY in Juarez, Mexico (the sister Mexican city to El Paso right across the Rio Grande, within about 5 miles of where I am typing this).

In case that did not register, we are talking about Friday ALONE.  This makes Jurez one of the few cities in the world now more dangerous than Bagdad, although the mainstream media is more likely to report Iraqi deaths in Iraq than they are too report the more imporatant fact that the Mexican border (on the Mexican side) is OUT OF CONTROL--even with the army sent in to try to restore order. 

These are not ordinary murders.  The El Paso Times identified them as "organized crme" mucrders.  Translation:  DRUG CARTEL MURDERS in a drug war for control of the Mexican side of the Mexican border (where the police are often part of one drug cartel or another).

The El Paso Times quoted "law enforcement authorities" (U.S., I think) as suggesting tha people from El Paso use "caution" in travelling to Mexico.  I have lived in this general area since 1960, and this is the WORST I have ever seen it--by far. 

Segue to Barack Obama (okay, McCain is only slightly better, and Clinton no better).  Obama talked this week of the XENOPHOBIA of the people opposing illegal immigration--that is, the people who correctly believe that we CANNOT solve all of MEXICO'S problems, especially since Mexico is a FAILED country.   This illustrates again that Obama was saing exactly what he meant when he talked about "small town America" and the xenophobia resulting from "frustration" (in other words, from not having the "intelligence" to be a leftist elitist like Obama). 

It is ironic that one of the few cities that might compete with Juarez as to blood running in the streets is Obama's CHICAGO, with its out of control gangs.

"Xenophobia" has nothing to do with it.  We MUST secure the Mexican border, which further REQUIRES that we take action WITHIN THE UNTIED STATES to discourage illegal immigrants from coming here and/or staying.  There is no way to totally "seal" the border, although we can do better.  But if you combine border security with measures discouraging illegal immigrants (such as deportation upon ANY arrest, and STOPPING illegal employment of illegal immigrants), we CAN keep Mexcio from imosing its problems on us.

Note:  DEMOCRATS have tried to SNEAK "amnesty" provisions through in other bills.  The latest attempt was an attempt to put an AMNESTY provision for farm workers into either the farm bill or the supplemental war funding bill.  This is only the latest attempt by DEMOCRATS to enact "piecemeal" amnesty into law, to the point that it is impossible to deport anyone--while they wait for election victories in Congress to enable them to pass the "comprehensive immigration bill" that turly will give us an "open border" with Mexico.
