Mexico’s de-facto martial law

As my WWII professor tells me: “If there isn’t a plan on some file in the Pentagon about deploying troops in Northern Mexico, I will literally eat my shoe.”

I like that class.

ok so being right on the border i get to see this stuff every day and i actually have insight as to what is going on down there. Right now what is happening is the army is out there acting as police. That is great and all and you see them actually driving around with machineguns which is kinda scary but w/e. Right now the problem with all of that is they are leaving the army and going to work for the cartels and they are taking the guns with them. They can make more money working for the cartels then they can in the military.

So why was a border wall so wrong again?

 

Please remind me why militarizing our border was so hated, or was it just that it was suggested while Bush was in office?

The wall Master P is fail. You build a wall 10 feet high and guess what someone is gonna sell an 11 foot ladder. B4 it was even finished which btw there are still parts that need to be finished here where i live there were already holes cut into it. The violence has yet to spill into america atleast on a large scale what has happened are isolated incidences. The problem is that when these guys get shot they are brought to the us for treatment and that poses a security problem because the cartels will send hit men after them into the us. As for the border being safe it is pretty much safe. If you look for drugs sure you will find them but thats the same in any city in the world. I drive right along the border like every day and i feel totally safe every like 1/4 mile there is a border patrol unit there and they do a good job at catching people trying to cross.

OSHA would require you to use a 13 foot ladder to get to the top of a 10foot wall

it’s not that a wall is wrong. It’s just that its pointless. Undocumented workers are still going to get into the country, along with tons of drugs. Best thing to stop these cartels is take away their main profit. Legalize it man!!!! It puts lots of cash back into our pocket, while at the same time, hurts the drug cartels by taking cash out of their pocket.

I agree we need to legalize it because we can tax it and I think that is eventually what will happen. As for the undocumented workers we need them as a nation because they take the crap jobs no on else wants like doing janatorial work. I mean in this economy most people would take that if they had to but in good times no one wants those jobs.
