Border Security with Mexico May Be Too Late


On Monday (July 14), the BBC reported that the head of Mexico's intelligence service - Guillermo Valdes - reported "drug cartels are threatening the country's democratic institutions, including [the Mexican] Congress...Gangs have infiltrated police forces, justice departments and government bodies...and drug traffickers [are] trying to take over the power of the state."

So what has been the response from our government to this impending threat to our from our neighbor? Well, President Bush is sending $400 million in aid to Mexico to help the police train and be better equipped to fight the drug cartels. And how much are the 18 Texas counties which border with Mexico getting to help in the fight for our border security? Just $60 million, which equals about $333,000 per county.

As one Texas County Commissioner said, “We need to make sure our folks are funded first before we send money to Mexico.â€

Close down the border, put the U S Military there, forever, and ever
