More reason to close off the borders

Illegal immigrants connected to Mexico’s drug cartels are growing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of marijuana in the heart of one of America’s national treasures, authorities say. It’s a booming business that, federal officials say, feeds Mexico’s most violent drug traffickers.  More…

Personally, I think anyone trying to come across the border illegally should be shot and cases like this - catch them in the act of growing, shoot the mangy little bastards.

I just don’t know what it’s going to take to get our country 100% behind locking up the borders and cutting off trade until countries wish to come into compliance.

      Such an ignorant comment reflects the lack of knowledge of the world that surrounds you. I encourage you to read more news than the “celebrity magazines” and soon you would realize that more mexicans are getting killed that people is dying in Irak only to satisfy the need of drugs in the US market.

      Good policemen (there are good ones in Mexico but they are usually murdered), poor farmers and innocent people die every day so you can get a joint on your had and while stoned you can blame foreigners for everything that is wrong in this country.

      And what exactly would your solution be?

      First - I don’t do drugs, have no use for them and want them out of this country. The two most valuable exports Mexico has is it’s drugs and it’s people. If the borders were to be cut off - perhaps Mexico would become more self reliant in industries that are actually beneficial to the world instead of destructive.

      Congratulations if you don”t do drugs…..that puts you into the small percentage that has never tried it.

      According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in 2006, 14.8 million Americans age 12 or older used marijuana at least once in the month,

      and FYI,
      Mexico exported during 2007 CY a total of 267,500 million in goods and this number does not include any illegal sustances since they are not part of the statistic, but technology, equipment and farming produce, placing it in place 14th of the world.

      Love writing to shortsighted people now that I am bored, but I am aware that is more convenient to blame foreigners for every disease, crime, or wrongdoing in this world.

      Nazis used to blame the jewish for every single problem happening in Germany.

      Before the 60s the fashion was to blame the African-Americans and now it is to blame the illegal aliens; who are mostly good people looking for a better quality of life.

      Of course, like on every culture or country, there are bad elements, or just name me one country without criminals.

      When you look at statistics of our prison systems - look at statistics of those who are receiving welfare and public assistance, how exactly can we not point the finger in the direction of the majority?

      I do agree there are some illegals who are here for a purpose and a dream - and that’s fine - I don’t blame anyone for having a dream - I do want to dot the eyes of those who come into this country and expect our taxpayers to support them with welfare, food stamps, medical care and housing when so many of our people can’t afford those things themselves.

      And what about the illegals who come here to commit crimes? What should be done with them?

      Personally, I believe they should be micro-chipped and air dropped back in their own country.

    Got something to say?
