Mexico is a a failed state.

1. Corruption is rampant.
2. The drug cartel controls large segments of Mexican society and territory.
3. Mexico cannot support its own population.
4. Mexico does not have its own economy. 10% of their economy is oil which is about to run out this year or next, 20% is money earned in the USA and sent home by the criminal illegal alien Mexicans in our country, and 70% is US tourism.
5. The population is barely literate. The average Mexican only has a grade school education.
6. Mexico does not have first world values, such as the need to abide by the rule of law, or that every person should have equal protection under the law. They operate with might make right and grab what you can. Ex President Fox of Mexico even publically said that they do not abide by the rule of law.

There is presently a boycott of Mexico going on. Do not vacation there. The purpose is to pressure the Mexican governement to stop its arrogant policies of educating its people on how to break US law and leech off the American taxpayer, and its interference in American policies and its support of groups like the racist organization La Raza (The Race, as in the Superior Race).

I concur with most commentators that the cartels armoury is not from the U.S. as most of the arms the cartels use are selective fire weaponry. But most likely the source of the AK type weapons is Venezuela and, most likely, the M-16 type weapons come from Mexican military and police stocks. Likely though is that the U.S. might be a source for some of the pistols that are recovered and that may show up in the statistics that are quoted.

Ruben Navarrette is blaming the US for Mexico’s failure of its border security. Guns can be bought in the US legally. The fact that many of them are smuggled into Mexico is because the Mexican border security is totally worthless.

What’s the use blaming drug users? Isn’t that, you know, cool and unhip? Trying to deny people fun, and their G-d given right to get high, no matter the cost?

/Okay, Sarc. over.

I do blame drug users. I also blame the governments of Mexico, and South America, for running their nations so badly, and for maintaining such corrupt governments, that drugs, rather than agriculture or manufacturing, play such a large part in their economies, and that their legal system is so corrupt they can’t rein the cartels in.

Why blame the Mexican, American, Colombian, etc. governments and their war against drugs?

Blame the stupid drug users.

I never thought of it that way! America should declare these drugs dangerous and make them illegal. Then the Mexican criminals would see the error of their ways and stop selling them.
