They just had a big drug bust here.....wasn't Americans running the ring. They were all Mexican.

Even if we stopped the flow of drugs on our southern border if would not change a thing in Mexico except the economics of drugs. To be sure much of it is consummed in Mexico. Blaming Americans is always the easy thing to do but at lot of the drugs work their way into Canada and elsewhere.

I agree guys. The Mexican and South Americans are the PUSHERS of DRUGS IN THE USA.

Stop pointing the finger at your (PUNCHING BAG) YOU CALL THE USA.

You are the one's responsible for the DRUG PROBLEMS IN THE USA!

We need to severely decrease our military and economic aid to Mexico. They don't need an extra $1.4 billion. If they'd stop stealing what aid is given them, they'd have a huge surplus to put to good use.

How do they put it....it's their culture....I mean they say we're in trouble with rising corn prices and shortage of wheat.....the Mexicans say it's because of NAFTA and it very well might be...well why not let those crops be corn etc? Or is it like South America.....fund us for a little "legal" business while we continue the drug trade? It's not like the US is the ONLY drug users on the planet. They aren't even staying in Mexico to grow it anymore.
