> So....does Mexico have to own up to its insatiable demand for weapons and its inability to prevent drugs from flowing across the border?

I'd say no, although it would be nice as it would make people feel-good that it's not the fault of the USA.

It's not up to Mexico to prevent the flow of drugs across the border. They are entering the US, it's your border, you protect it. Mexico should stop the flow of weapons into their country. It seems like they are trying - just like the US is trying to protect your border.

Here's my own couple of questions Balsz; you would like Mexico to own up to wanting more and more weapons, but would this help in any actual physical way? I'm no Clinton supporter (neither anti-Clinton), but I'd like to know what you would do, if you were in charge. Status quo?

Finally; if it Mexico was the gun-producing country, I'm pretty damn sure that the US would have an "insatiable demand for weapons". How would those Texan's get peace of mind at night? .... hmm how would many I guess.

I WOULD lock down our border, no question.  You know that, you saw me fmod. Screw the "fence"...I'd have a killzone on their side of the border.  Nothing too big, maybe just a 1000m.  And then I'd raid 'sanctuary cities' until they gave up.

Yeah, it is wholly our fault we don't do that.

Did Clinton add anything by badmouthing the US for its lax policies? I mean, if anybody asked her if she supports MORE searches, MORE arrests and MORE border barriers, what's her answer?  It just costs her nothing to dump on America, so, bombs away!

I wouldn't mind QUALITY mexican guns, most guns are not made int eh USA anymore.  We import a LOT from Argentina under old American brands.

Um,they even use submarines to smuggle their stuff into the US.

1 billion dollars,wow.
Thats even more than AIG pays as bonus for their execs.

A lot!  A 2,000 mile kill zone, starting from the US southern border, would cover the entirety of Central America.  I don't think the border patrol was meant to deploy tactical nukes. 

The Yell meant "1,000 meters."

My solution to illegal drugs is to legalize what we can tolerate, and eliminate the consumers (except for elites) who consume those drugs.

Did Justinian just say that he should kill himself?

Yeah!

His whores are though, so he may have a slight problem...

Edit: My business partners don't consume drugs either, except for alcohol. The druggy ones work on the streets and charge $20.00, lol. There is a reason they are considered low-quality services.<

That's what I was implying.

And just because they're "higher quality" they can't be drug users?

Uh huh...

Tunnels are easy to detect.  We have the tech. I repeat my earlier statement "In order to stop the drugs and weapons from crossing the border they would have to put a stop to the invasion of our country by illegal aliens.  This will not happen because the Commie Dems. need every illegal vote they can get".  A barrier wuld work but it would still have to be manned.  Overlapping fields of fire, mines, dogs and mobile fire teams would do the job.  Shoot to kill and feed the bodys to the hogs.

the US has a huge millitary. the problem is its spread across the world. stationing more troops at the mexico border would if anything lower costs. mexicans are a good supply of labor, so republicans wont cut them off; and democrats cant afford to loose the hispanic vote, so they wont cut off the immigration.

Why not just wait for Mexico to collapse and then march into the failed state and save the day? Then you can do whatever the hell you like and people will applaud you for it.
