Scary. Think of it .......Commandos and U.S. helicotors interdicting Mex drug lords and cartels.
Gee you can you imagine how that would pee off Mexican citizens. I think Mex would rather fix this themselves.

Interesting and objective: mexican problems.....

States comes via Mexico, which is also the largest supplier of foreign marijuana to U.S. consumers. |
And this is about the consumption -, not talking about related crime in the US and other impact on society. Well, that must be a mexican problem also
I assume.....

Let's try again...
Mexico is both a source of illicit drugs and a transit country. The U.S. estimates roughly 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the United States
comes via Mexico, which is also the largest supplier of foreign marijuana to U.S. consumers.
"In the U.S., the region most vulnerable to corruption is the U.S.-Mexican border and particularly the border with Arizona," said Paul Charlton, the
former U.S. Attorney for Arizona who is now partner in a law firm. "The temptations are just extraordinary."
Over the past few years, investigators have uncovered scores of U.S. public employees who accepted bribes for helping to move drugs or look the other
way. The latest was an Arizona prison officer sentenced this month to 15 months for taking cash from people he thought were drug traffickers. They
were FBI agents and he was one of 53 Americans sentenced in Operation Lively Green, an undercover investigation meant to stop corruption at the
border.
Do you boycott Arizona? Proud to be a self-righteous American, huh guys? Sanctimonious comments?
Is Hugo Torres the cause of this too? Is the Real Estate industry in Baja responsible for this too?
Where is all the hypocritical condemnation NOW?

Stay in denial about the source of the problem
Hide your head in the sand regarding where the problem REALLY is. Ignore the corruption and graft that the news report identifies. It really doesn't
happen in AMERICA, does it?
It makes ugly Americans proud when countries of lesser affluence have civil disorder and crime because they are supplying drugs to the World's Largest
Consumer of illegal drugs - AMERICA.
Ugly Americans can feel best when they are downgrading Columbia, Afganistan and Mexico, just to name a few because those countries are part of the
supply chain and their citizens are paying the ultimate price so that AMERICANS can escape reality and get high.
Keep on ignoring the problem and blaming those other countries - lots of progress will be made by doing that - won't it?
Go ahead, tell me to up my meds, again, since that is your likely response to everything in your life, already. Keep believing that you are safe in
your make-believe world thousands of miles away from the countries who suffer for the excesses of AMERICANS. No one you know uses illegal drugs, huh?

So gull we're not supposed to talk about it? Sweep it under the rug and it will simply go away? Also Mr Gull you assume a lot, I live in Mexico and
I am Mexican and fully understand what is happening. If we do nothing like you suggest we should do, pass the blame on the USA and not on ourselves
as Mexicans then this **** will only continue to worsen. So sorry the economy up in BC is in the dumps, maybe that's your frustration, what the hell
do I know?
We need to talk about it and we need to send a loud and clear message to the Mexican government, the same government who thinks its better to ship off
their best and brightest able bodied adults to a foreign country up north so that their elderly parents and children can stay behind and do the
suffereing while these same greedy sonofab-tch elite bastards who are the problem continue to enjoy their lavish lifestyles at the cost of their own
people. Despicable. hope i spelled that right

Apparently, the message was too subtle for you - doing nothing IS the wrong approach. Ignoring the massive intake of illegal drugs across the
Mexican-USA border is NOT something DRIVEN by Mexico, but PULLED by the US.
The economic drop in Baja only improves buying opportunities for me, so you have that one wrong, too.
If there are other woes in Mexican society such as exodus of leadership or wealth, I'll wager that the transit of drugs to the US can only worsen the
situation as the Cartels move to fill the void.

What I do with my philantropic efforts, volunteer time and community service are a personal commitment and those activities will not be a subject of
this board. They are not done for the assessment by others or self-promotion.

You seem to be doing a lot of assesing of others, why not give us a chance to assess you.
Or is it that you do nothing but mouth off about how everyone else is ugly.
I am thinking that you are the ugly one.

Errors:
1) You don't think
2) Not everyone else is ugly, but your condition is unchallenged.
