Gentlemen, Mexico and it's government is near collapse. They are in an escalating war with drug cartels and it is a dangerous place along the Texas-Mexican, and Arizona-Mexican border. AKs are the most dominant weapon, and the guns bought in the US, is a mere drop in the bucket to the Mexican drug cartels.
I have been listening and learning about this spreading war for weeks on shortwave talk radio, with no mention until this week on US mainstream TV.
If this Mexican government does collapse there will be thousands of refugees spilling into the border states, as the war for territory will rage completely unchecked.
If our government would stop policing it's own people and shut these border smugglers down, then the war for territory would be fruitless for them to fight.
We are the CONSUMER of these drugs, and in a sick sort of way the reason such a war is being fought for our souls.
It should also be acknowledged that the Mexican government is also knee deep in this very lucrative drug trade into the US. What an interesting world we live in, where the leaders are more corrupt than the followers we follow. But, alas, has it not always been that way? So as a native Texan, I say hang on, rest of the US. It will just get worse in your part of the country too.
P.S.There is also fear that the war will move INTO the US border towns (already has) and also continue to spread here. Is it not strange that we will spill thousands of GALLONS of young American blood to defend the Muslim in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and INHIBIT our own Border Patrol and other agencies from protecting America.
