I have been following this for some time, but the MSM totally suppresses it and good sources are few and far between -- guess it's not PC to tell the truth about May-he-co...

Have been reading several sources today wherein the CIA and DIA are both reporting the government of Mexico is close to collapsing !

A quote: "...the government, its politicians, police and judicial infrastructure are all under sustained assault and press by criminal gangs and drug cartels. How that internal conflict turns out over the next several years will have a major impact on the stability of the Mexican state. Any descent by Mexico into chaos would demand an American response based on the serious implications for homeland security alone."

Uh, is THAT maybe the real reason for the Illegals streaming into the U.S. ?

[and]

"Despite such reports, El Pasoan Veronica Callaghan, a border business leader, said she keeps running into people in the region who "are in denial about what is happening in Mexico."

Last week, Mexican President Felipe Calderon instructed his embassy and consular officials to promote a positive image of Mexico."

Funny - I didn't know a "positive" image of Mexico was possible...well, perhaps if you do the MSM shuffle, all can look good -- for a while...

Chertoff has instructed the 22 federal agencies that fall under Homeland Security to develop border-violence response plans because the drug war in Mexico appears to be escalating, not ending. So far, more than 5,300 people have been killed across Mexico as rival drug cartels continue to fight over drug trafficking corridors.

One drug corridor at the center of the violence is the Juárez "plaza," where more than 1,600 people were killed last year. In Mexico, "plaza" refers to a drug cartel's territory.

"We completed a contingency plan for border violence, so if we did get a significant spillover, we have a surge

-- if I may use that word -- capability to bring in not only our own assets but even to work with" the Defense Department, Chert off told The New York Times.
