Same reason H won't secure the Southern border.

as i stated before america should imperialize mexico,we could use diplomacy and the only ones to put up a fight will be the drug cartels

Great idea.
Then, force 'em to aprende y habla engles. Si, Se Puede!

Ya good luck with that eh...Mexico has thrown out everyone who tried to colonize them so far...that aint gonna change. Besides, get real America cant afford it.

Everyone that is, except the Spanish invaders.

The Spanish Mexicans are still killing off the natives.

Really? not that Ive noticed

The poverty of Chiapas has roots that go back to the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The conquest led to the mass enslavement of Indians, even though slavery was technically illegal.

Rebellion in Chiapas also has a long history. In 1545, the first Catholic bishop of Chiapas, Bartolome de las Casas, protested the exploitation of the native population. In 1712, indigenous people tried to overthrow the hacienda system.

Mexicans fought again, waging the Mexican Revolution, which overthrew a dictatorship and promised liberal reforms that would eliminate poverty and provide education, health care and land for all, but, according to Womack, these promises went largely unrealized. Inequality and poverty remained, especially among indigenous peoples.

Many choose to live in the jungle to escape persecution.

They still have them "fenced in" and kill them by keeping them in extreme poverty.

if we do wouldn't that create more jobs and get the american money down there circulating,developers and big business will want to expand,it has oil so we decrease dependency on foreign oil,the dea and atf will actually have something to do by handling the cartels,no more immigration problem,help with over crowding here..etc..

see their problem is becoming our problem and they need to know this so if they don't want this to turn nasty than the mexican govt. better work with us...we have helped them before and the problem still continues so if we stay,then the problem will be minimal

it be easier and cheaper than Iraq is

We are battling a serious drug problem alright – but we certainly can’t blame the drug cartels from other countries for OUR problem.

Yes, they come here and they kill – they protect their borders because they are businessmen protecting their investment.

But how many people in America suffer death and serious harm as the side effect of drug usage?

Drug cartels do not force people in the U.S. to purchace or to take drugs, they supply them and protect their chain of supply, including the people, pathways, and product, involved.

We cannot attack every country through which drug cartels work – we can only hope those countries are willing to take on their own drug problems and, as we have for Mexico, offer support in the way of financial, training, and weapons necessary to control the problem at their end.

Why is it so hard to look at a problem and admit it is ours?

We are not defeated in our 'war against drugs', by those outside this country, we fight against our own in this battle.

It's time to admit that the enemy is us (U.S.) and look to fix the problem from within our borders.

well it's also the economic and lack of government help in mexico that is causing the immigration problem which has become our problem,not just the drug cartel,hell some immigrants come here cause the drug cartel runs their city and threatens people to much...it's an on going issue that either we keep complaining about or do something about...but you are correct the problem here isnt the dealers its the users

As if this country is a stranger to violence. Look at our history. Will our nations long tradition of bullying other countries to do what best benifits our Administrations interests ever end? Colonization!!! Who's the robber now? Is mexico really the main cause of the influx of drugs in our communities?

Mexico sends dope over and also protects the cocaine runners from Columbia.

We aren't the enemy, but our authoritarian laws on drugs are. Legalize all drugs, that will de-fund the cartels and collapse drug rings around the world. It will allow the Government to tax drugs, it will allow drug users to live as normal a life as possible and most importantly, it will prevent innocent deaths over drug turf. Also, if we then freed everyone imprisoned for possession, it would take a huge burden off the taxpayers.

hey man, if you keep crossing the border into a FOREIGN country looking for drugs dont cry just because you dont get the red carpet treatment in some one elses back yard...

Im sorry for the family´s loss but that guy should have stayed on his side of the border and purchased his illegal drugs from his local drug dealer...

They were riding jet ski's and stumbled into a drug cartel area........they had no idea........that is just a horrible thing to say...........

Just because drugs are shipped here and bought doesnt mean every american buys and supports it so if an innocent American doesnt know they should be guided as to where they should not be SI

Was that what they was doin' there??

The wife has given several conflicting stories, if she's not the prime suspect, she probably should be.

This doesn't change the fact that our borders are porous and something desperately needs to be changed.
