Mexico Is A Drag On the United States

THE DOCTOR IS IN

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Our lawmakers, both Republican and Democrat, refuse to secure our southern border but they have no qualms about securing the borders of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Korea.

There have been quite a number of armed Mexican military excursions into the United States over the past few years. Now we have drug warlords from the Mexican drug cartel dispatching drug soldiers onto United States soil and assassinating United States citizens. The irony is that our politicians have been keeping the many firefights on American soil between the Mexican military and our border patrol agents a big secret.Why? Politics and illegal alien immigration. There was an incident last week involving the death of United States embassy employees by suspected Mexican drug cartel members and now a couple of days ago illegal aliens shot and killed an Arizona farmer that had a ranch in the Douglas, Arizona area.

The drug violence and destruction of land and property of our citizens that live on the border should not be allowed to occur. Deaths by these illegals is continually spilling over into our border cities in the United States. These Mexican drug mobsters carry automatic and military weapons, (i.e, AK-47's) and have no compunction whatsoever about slaughtering United States citizens.

What does the administration do? Nothing substantial. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton says, "we have to talk to Mexico." The United States has been talking to Mexico for at least the last fifty years but refuse to get tough with the country because they are afraid to hurt Mexico's feelings and are afraid to insult the large illegal alien population already established here within our borders. The lawmakers want to pander and cater to the Hispanic vote.

Just recently the administration acknowledged that the billions of dollars that has been spent on the so-called "virtual fence" along the southern border does not work and hasn't worked properly since its inception. The only ones who did benefit from the virtual fence was the contractors that received the billions of dollars to build it and the politicians who stuffed their pockets with a large part of the monies being expended on the fence. I guess some good comes out of bad because from recent media reports it appears that the administration is shutting down the virtual fence project. Again we the taxpayer are on the hook for those billions already spent and spread around.

What we do need is a "real" fence. It should be a double fence separating the two countries. The actual "real" fence should run the full length of the southern border. Between the fence it should have a swath of space so that our military and/or Border Patrol can actually run patrols. Along the fence should be specific entry points for ICE and Homeland Security to actually check each and every person and their documents as they enter the United States. An actual "real" fence rather than a pretend fence will clearly provide security and prevent illegal immigration, reduce illegal drugs and help stop drug cartels bringing death and destruction into our country.Beside the fence we should have our military protecting our borders in conjunction with the Border Patrol. If it is good enough for Iraq and other foreign countries it is certainly good enough for us here at home.

These continued illegal acts by Mexico have been escalating more and more each and every day and there has to be a stop to it. How many United States citizens have to be killed before our borders are secure with permanent barriers and our military.

I submit that these illegal crossings into the United States by Mexico's military personnel and drug cartels who are causing fatalities is a clear and present danger to this country and as such, is a clear act of terrorism. We supposedly fight terrorism around the globe but why don't we fight it when it occurs on our southern borders?

For decades we have been supporting Mexico by giving them tons of foreign aid and allowing their government to send most of their poor into the United States, most of them illegal.

We give Mexico billions of dollars in military aid to supposedly fight the drug wars in their country.. We train their corrupt military and law enforcement to allegedly fight drugs.Does it change things? No it doesn't.All of the money, aid, and military assistance we provide to Mexico is nothing more than a money-pit. We are pouring a never ending stream of money down a dark, bottomless hole.

The Mexican government is so infested with corruption, drugs and death that our state department advises our citizens to stay away from the country. In reality we really do not gain very much from our relationship with Mexico yet our politicians continually attempt to rationalize their illegal behavior all in the name of votes. - And, that's my opinion.
