Hello.

Sunday I posted something from WWW.Blogdelnarco.com

This was motivated by something about a hubby getting popped.
Well shit! it happened!

I have always had contact with the AHs on the other side.
This was in an era of SMTL and SouthWest livestock.
Hyslop and L&H transportation.
Yes we were stealing cattle and taking them into Mexico but we never killed anyone.
Now it has gotten really bad, fucked up bad.
I was told about the Philip True crap as I know some of the reporters.
But at least I was not told until AFTER the deed.
This is really fucked up.

Get a president with some spine back in the Oval Office and things are going to get really ugly, really fast for the cartels.

Like Gee, Dubya?

I don't think GeeDubya would have done anything to Mexico either. They is buddies, yeah?
What would a president do? Air strike? That would catch them off guard.
Play the Imminent Domain card. Take Mexico and build a new canal along the southern border.

NO president's going to anything at all about it. They're in office for one reason -- as a puppet for the big $$$$ interests. And those interest have a big stake in the billion dollar war on drugs that's taking good care of everyone, thank you very much. AND...they love employing undocumented people because the can pay them so little.

The set of cojones that our so-called president REALLY needs is the set that'll enable him/her to take on those interests -- and, it seems to me there's no man or woman alive who can do that.

Bush handled matters in the same fashion which Obama is now doing: Poorly, and with selfish intent. With the Republicans, it was all about cheap labor. The Democrats, a larger, secure voter base.

Both parties would gladly sell the security of the southwest (and possibly the entire country) down the Rio Grande to appease their own special interests. This disgusts me.

You did know, that our southern border is actually more secure than it's ever been, right?

Just a factoid: If Marijuana was legalized across this entire nation, the drug cartel problem would disappear almost overnight.

As a culture, we have never been shy about banging our head against a wall and wailing loudly.

Doubtful. The profit-per-volume ratio of marijuana is far lower than crystal meth, crack and similar highly addictive narcotics. Those substances yield the cartels high profits with relatively low refinement and distribution risks. The government could give pot away by the truckload and it wouldn't alter the hard-core addicts' behaviors one iota.

Crystal meth and crack are both locally manufactured, generally speaking. Now, cocaine, from whence crack comes from gets here across the border. However, the main problem with crack is that it's cheaper than marijuana. Both marijuana and cocaine costs about the same to get across the border. Cocaine, however, carries stiffer penalties than marijuana, hence gets more expensive once it hits the border. Crack is cheap, because it's cocaine, cut down with common household chemicals, to the point where per-sale units of crack are cheaper than per-sale units of marijuana.

Make marijuana legal, and it becomes cheaper than crack. Capitalism will dictate that more people will buy marijuana than crack, since it would be easily obtainable, cheaper, and zero risk (When compared to crack). Why try crack for the first time when you can just go down to the gas station and get a pack of spliffs?

Border security has zero to do with crystal meth, since it is primarily manufactured from common chemicals that are cheap here in the US. Want to eliminate meth? Put up "border security" around rural areas. That's where meth is made. It's the new "moonshine".
