"Mexico is estimated to supply 70% of the Methamphetamine consumed in the United States!"

Are you sure they didn't screw the story up? Shouldn't it read "New Mexico Cartels"?

I'm scared to go to bed now. I'll probably have bad dreams.

Oddly, Sonora seems to have none of that. They DO drive thru, obviously, but they don't stop. Or so I'm told.

No sign of gang life in Hermosillo. The people I have spoken to say the Federales and military will simply gun them down. No questions; no worries.

Pretty nice place, Hermosillo. I could live here - if it weren't for the govt.

The resolve it must take to sit there and actually skin a human skull (and there's no evidence to prove the victim's weren't alive), is astonishing! If there were willing participants (not at gun point), performing this act; Hitler's legacy may be able to breath a sigh of relief.

thanks Dwight David Republican Eisenhower for giving the criminals and terrorist easy access to spread crime throughout the Union. Bringing us all closer together destroying life, identity, local autonomy.


And just think....we legalized all of those items....the cartels would be put out of business. Stop the War on Drugs and Destroy the Cartels with Capitalism.. Handle drugs as you would any other drug or addiction.

In fairness to him; it was a far different time! There weren't legacy's of s**t genes available to see the future. In those days, it was milk toast civilians, and darkies! No blur! He is rolling in the grave for it in hindsight (because there is no way he would have imagined this current dilemma), but remember he won WWII.

Wait....didn't Ike authorize Operation Wetback, or was that Truman?

True. He likely didn't imagine what problems the interstate has given us with the monster he created. And yes I believe Operation Wetback was Eisenhowers. (we need another one of those)

Having lived many years in South Texas, I have seen all sides of this ongoing tragedy. Especially the years when I practiced "family medicine".

I got to know the federal probations officials well, through patient's families. I had border patrol, narcs, and police as patients; including Mexican police. My fishing buddies were DEA & cops.

The only way this will ever be stopped is to start prosecuting every drug buyer & user. They are the CAUSE of the entire mess, not Mexicans or anyone else !

Drug cartels are only a symptom of the underlying problem !

Dry up the Rio Grande and there will be no more wet backs.

Put cocaine back in to coca colas and the street trade will go away.

One place we 180 disagree. I think legalize all drugs and let the people bear responsibility. I really think the gene pool would clean up if the real problem dopers were given free access.

When I was on meds for pain, it became up to me to stop, I stopped. If I had not most likely would have been dead in a year or two, but life was my choice. I ain't alone in this, although I may be alone admitting it.

Were I dead I'd be no more drag on society, If I'm alive and clean I may just benefit the world in some way.

Same for everyone. Personal Responsibility.
