Joint U.S.-Mexican police patrols among proposed fixes for the border

October 14, 2009

Mexican and U.S. police patrolling the border together?

That radical idea is one of the recommendations made by a blue-ribbon panel of scholars, diplomats and other experts that spent most of the year searching for “a new visionâ€

Excellent that would give Mexican police radio frequencies and other data
that could be used to find holes in our security, very good idea .

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't current Mexican President Calderon literally turning all of Mexico on end in an attempt to root out the corruption which permeates Mexico's law enforcement agencies from the local to the federal level, not to mention the overwhelming influence of wealthy Mexican drug cartels, which also now extends into the governments of entire Mexican towns? And hasn't one of the unforeseen effects of NAFTA been to give these powerful drug cartels a toehold (soon to become a "boothold") in the United States alongside "legitimate" Mexican businesses? So let's just "speed this up" by bringing it here ourselves?!
