Good cess to them. Hey already have one idea correct that we blew in Iraq. When a situation calls for boots and not electronics, you need to use LOTS of boots all at once.
Now, if the Governor of Texas would add to the security by putting a couple of Guard Brigades in place on our side with orders to offer intelligence and keep the Mexican Gangsters in territory where their own government can deal with them.....

The article actually says...
And I appreciate all that, hope it works, after that you have my support to invade Guzman's little fiefdom and arrest him or take him out. Show these guys with Napoleonic complexes that the world isn't their playground.Barack Obama has been warned that Mexico's drugs lords now pose as big a threat to U.S. national security as Islamic insurgents. The U.S. is now planning to deploy the military to the border to try to contain the bloodshed.

Seems the movie, "No Country for Old Men" was prophetic and Mexico is looking like Chicago in the 1920's early 1930's.

HISS
Did you have to link to the Daily Fail?
@ SFTS How similar is No Country For Old Men to Texas?
Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
How so? Considering the movie is about a Frenchman running around the state killing people. Which would be completely false as Texans don't tolerate the French or there haircuts.
As for the mannerisms and the landscape I'd probably say thats pretty par for the course as far as West Texas goes but then you still have 2 or 3 other very large parts of the state that are pretty different.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
I have a friend who is living in a small town in Chihuaha, she says it's really scary over there. People are getting shot all of time, not just by the gangs but by the police and army as well.She said that if they suspect you of being involved with the drug gangs they shoot you on the spot. There's a lot of confusion and fear over there right now

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
Regrettably true. The lawlessness of the border area is a result of a number of factors -- only a very few of which can be addressed by a military response.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
This wouldn't be a problem if we let more Mexicans into the US to work the jobs Americans don't want. If they could get respectable poultry farm jobs here, they wouldn't have to sell cocaine just to put food on their families.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
The guys who are taking over now are straight up professionals or MS-13 who treat the Mexicans like cattle (supposedly for the way central americans are treated in Mexico)

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
The real sad part of this is that Mexicos crime rates are lower than the US's across the board (excluding murder) The problem is there judiciary is so corrupt and organized crime is so well entrenched.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
the rest of South America far from adores Mexico and its inhabitants. Apparently they can look at one another and tell who is Peruvian, Columbian, Mexican, etc. I know Peruvian and Puerto Rican people who won't eat at restaurants owned and staffed by Mexicans because they say they will get spit in their food. And I know Bolivians who hate Peruvians. I don't understand any of it, but I guess they have a reason. I blame the Pope.

Never knew the Mexican police and army were so well armed..

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
Blame the Spanish and Portugese... That's what I do at least.
Given what they're up against, they have to be.
As much as I am a proponent of due process of law, this whole drug cartel thing is getting so crazy that I think it's time we start doing some random airstrikes, a la Clear and Present Danger. Enough is enough.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
With you on that, from start to finish, just... not yet. We don't want our own federales being given any kinda foothold, if we can avoid it. Let the Texicans, and the Zonie's, and Cali's, and Nuevo Mexies, handle it local-like, sez I.
Might be the final vestige of exercisable State-power, v. D.C. calling all shots (as they've shown to be inept at, so far).

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
Hey, the Portuguese had nothing to do with the rivalries between different nations. At least the colony we left there was large enough that can actually bully and lead the continent. And we left a colony filled with the most beautiful women in the world. Afterwards, what they do is their own business. I wouldn't mind continuing to have subservient Brasil but hey, that's de-col for everyone. They want independence, now they can deal with their problems without blaming it on the conquistadores.
EDIT: Although they blame American Imperialism. I believe that's closer to the truth.

Excuse me, but Mexico is part of North America, not South. Sorry, but I felt a need to clarify.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
After hearing what my friend has said, I don't really approve of the Mexican government's handling of the situation.Well, that's exactly what i was secretly hoping wouldn't happen.
Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
The army is maybe the only establishment in Mexico that isn't corrupt. This job has to fall to them.

Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
That sounds overly generous to the Mexican army. :/

Drug Lords aren't corrupted. If you try to bribe them, they'll soak you in sulfur acid and you'll vanish from the world!
BLARGH!
Re: Mexican Army Invades Juarez, Right Across the Street From El Paso
If we legalize and regulate drugs then the drug lords will have no black market to make them powerful.
Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!
In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
