Seeing that most of the drugs are because of the American demand I think the US should give them a hand. It would also be a smart move as they are already making their way into American territory.
Mass murder and torture is not unusual for Mexico...Voice of...You should go back there.
Federal Agents Trace Guns Used by Mexican Drug Cartels Back to U.S. Buyers, But What About Warrants?
(CNSNews.com) – More than 100 agents of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have been visiting the homes of gun purchasers in Houston, Texas. But the federal agency won’t say if agents have warrants.
D.C.'s Congressional Delegate Says Mexico Should be 'Very, Very Angry at the Big Kahuna in the North'
(CNSNews.com) – D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) told members of the Obama administration that the United States is responsible for arming Mexican drug cartels. “I would have been very, very angry at the Big Kahuna in the north that was essentially shipping down arms to kill my people,” Norton said Thursday at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Even if it is the illegals that are getting guns to them (and it is a small percentage of guns that are from the US) you can bet they'll blow this all out of proportion.
No demand, no supply. If we enforce tougher punishment for drug users, it will make them think TWICE before they are enjoying their drug at the expense of other people suffering.
Tortured?
The only torture going here are the high prices of your sweet, sweet drugs, Mexico.
Show us some love.
This is not surprising. Does the cartels think that the Federals and U.S. agents are scared by their tactics by now....um NO!
As they said and I quote from the Untouchables movie...
"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way!"
Think that border security and the mexican counter-parts need to re-think their strategy.
ok blame everything on America, anyone wants to stand up and say this is also Mexicos fault as well?
the vendettas continue, and will go on and on and on until
time seems to end. a federal agent killed the brother of felix.
felix the cat killed the sister of the federal agent who killed the
brother of felix. the hatchets will never be buried. is there
a solution? no. universal central command is trying to take
control of the situation from space and is having some luck.
our planet has been adjudicated by them to be a danger to
itself and others. committment papers have been done on
the entire planet. this planet has been warned many, many times.
and so again tonight jeau grey will sing hey jeau, and kill her husband
in mexico she caught messing around with another man, and head
north to america where she can be free. hey jeau, where are ya goin
with that switchblade in your hand? jimi hendrix in reverse.
11,000 dead that's more than we've lost in Iraq. How sad. Calderone should do more to right his economy then the poor would have choices, rather than work for the cartels, The cartels are run by some sick murderous bastards though. Legalize pot, it's the best answer.
HOW ABOUT STARTING AT THE NOTHERN BORBER AND DRIVING THEIR ASSSSSS SOUTH TO MEXICO CITY..............
Wow more Mexicans are dying in combat in their own country than Americans in Iraq or Afghanistan that was just from 2006 to present . I see this in America's next Civil War so all you true Americans out there dont get caught unarmed or pay the consequences .
What's the problem if drug traffickers are killing each other? I say, let them loose on each other. They'll be the ones losing out in the end, along with the 20 million (!) American illegal drug users.
Just legalize them and this will be over instantly and the US govt will make a bazillion dollars. Why are we so hung up on drugs being illegal?
"To incorporate Mexico, would be the very first instance of the kind, of incorporating an Indian race; for more than half of the Mexicans are Indians, and the other is composed chiefly of mixed tribes. I protest against such a union as that! Ours, sir, is the Government of a white race.... We are anxious to force free government on all; and I see that it has been urged ... that it is the mission of this country to spread civil and religious liberty over all the world, and especially over this continent. It is a great mistake." - John C. Calhoun (how right he was)
Legalize drugs and it should let up some. After all, most of the big profit will be gone. After all, how much does an ounce of pot go for these days. (it's been decades since I bought any... and no, I don't grow my own) How much? $90 an ounce? more for the good stuff? Legalize it, and it drops down to $20 or less (after all, it's easy to grow... and once legal a lot of users would have their little garden plots) Remove the profit and you kill off the cartels.
But the Mexican government and Bureau of Tourism insists that these drug wars are being blown out of proportion by the US media.
Whatever, sorry I which I could give a rip, I don't. really. The Mexican Government is a JOKE, and they blame the USA. Like every every other Nation then thier people come over and want help. oooh wait did I say help.. sorry I meant MY FREAKING TAX DOLLARLS see one day i will retire and I will actually want my retirment. I dont mind them here, I don't Please, I am NATIVE AMERICAN, I DON'T EVEN MINE YOU WHITE FOLK. what i mind is is the bs involved in the press 2 for english and all that crap.... please.....
go home homres........get your peso's and come back and get your visa's
ohh I AM TRUE RED AMERICAN TELLING YOUR ASS THIS
This entire story reinforces the notion that a wall along the border is desparately needed to close of both drug trafficking and the supposed gun-running. Wal-Mart stopped selling RPG's and AK-47's years ago so I doubt many weapons are actually coming from the U.S. I imagine that the U.S. is a major consumer of drugs, it's about the only way many have of coping with what the democrats have done to the economy.
Mexicans also travel to South America to pick cocca leaf. They chew the stuff like spinach until they die of a heart attack
Just another sad story about the outcome with serious drug association. Killing people over a pill or a weed. How much sense does that make? Drugs are death always. May God have mercy on the souls of those involved and on the families they have left behind.
Two scenarios:
We just legalize all drugs. Then all of these drug dealers and gang members won't be violent or do anything illegal plus we'll get the tax money from the big corporations that can now make the drugs and sell them to at your local 7-11.
OR
We can try to find a new way to fight this "war on drugs". Maybe fighting drugs isn't our problem. Maybe we just need a new strategy.
If we're going to just allow everything because we can tax it to make money off of it. Then let's legalize prostitution. Americans want sex too. So let's sell it to them and tax it.
