Not to make light of a deadly and dangerous situation, but heads are rolling on the southern border between the United States and Mexico where a vicious, bloody and possibly never-ending war is being waged Funded by billions of dollars from the sale of illegal drugs, the Mexican narco trafficantes also have access to the most highly sophisticated, military grade weapons, such as grenades, AK47s, M16s, and night vision equipment. They use them without conscience and with deadly consequences. Kidnappings, extortion, torture and beheadings are commonplace and a daily occurrence.
Some very poor people from a very class based society have found a way to make a lot of money and attain power and privlege built upon the bedrock of fear. The corruption of Mexican polticians and policemen is notorious. They accept bribes and then turn the other way or else they, too, will be killed. Over 7,000 people were killed in 2008 by the narco trafficantes and 1,000 more have been cut down so far this year. The majority of deaths have happened in the border cities of Tijuana, Nogales and, especially, Ciudad Juarez. Most of the massacres can be attributed to rivalries between the cartels, shooting and wiping each other out, which is a very good thing. However, many politicians, policemen, soldiers, lawyers, journalists and innocent bystanders have also been cut down in cold blood. Presidente Felipe Calderon has vowed to defeat the cartels and has deployed over 8,000 soldiers to the border towns to take on these monsters and 45,000 Mexican troops are dispersed throughout the country.
Mexico City has the dubious distinction of being Number 1 in the world for kidnappings. Phoenix, Arizona is second. These cartels have unlimited wealth and have spread their tentacles throughout the United States. Street gangs such as the Bloods, Crips and MS13 are lured into alliances by the easy money and access to drugs and are willing participants along with the drug lords. The voracious appetites for marijuana, cocaine, meth, and other synthetic drugs in the United States have enriched the narco trafficantes with over $39 billion US per year.
Fears of open warfare between the cartels spilling into the United States are justified and it is only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose. For years, many have requested the presence of the National Guard along the southern border to stem the flow of illegal aliens and terrorists. To ignore the explosive situation at the border now is to invite the chaos that will soon follow. In a blatantly could-be-construed-as-racial-and-not-very-politically-correct statement, the coloring of those of Middle Eastern descent and of some Mexicans is very similar, except for facial hair. The poppy fields of Afghanistan fund Al Qaeda. They also like to decapitate people who they believe don`t conform with the religion of peace which is Islam, and Sharia law. It is not too much of a stretch to believe the terrorists are in Mexico and the US now and would use the southern border and a raging drug war as an easy entree to the United States to perform other terrorist attacks on the nation.
Keeping this in mind, the DOJ is launching an investigation into the activities of Maricopa County Sherrif, Joe Arpaio. Why? Because following requests by
congressional dimoRATs (Conyers and crew) and allegations by liberal activists (including ACORN) , they believe that his
department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens. Horrors! Cheeky Monkey believes Sheriff Joe to be a True American Hero, in the same league as Wyatt Earp and even Judge Roy Bean. He has been out in front to protect the citizens of Arizona, the border, and to lock up illegals and eventually send them packing back to where they came from. So what if he dresses them in pink shorts in the interim!
Not to worry though! pbho says a Mexican Border Security Plan is coming soon! He is also sending Pantsuit to Mexico City, March 25-26, to meet with Calderon to show solidarity against the cartels. More difficult decisions must be made to destroy the lethal enemy and the allure of drugs. Legalize them? Destroy the millions of acres of fields throughout the world where they are grown, and contribute to global climate change? Or wage open warfare on the southern border to wipe out the scourge of the evil drug cartels? This is a war in our time that must be won at any cost!
