Lawlessness in Mexico

Mexico seems to be getting scarier by the day. Now the cartel's are storming hospitals removing patients and dismembering them. Not sure how they solve this problem, but the cartels seem to be basically operating with impunity.

Crazy down there

Their president says they just need more love.

But their lakes are totally safe. Get chastised on bass page for even mentioning people should have their head on a swivel over there.

May I suggest

I have no interest in going south of the border anymore.

And you wonder why they flock here by the thousands. They’ll do anything and pay any price to get out of that [censored] hole.

If we want to stop illegal immigration then there has to be a place they can feel safe calling home and jobs that pay more than a couple hundred a week. Until that gets solved it will never subside.

you would have to include all of central america too. tall order.

lets just send the gov. of kalifornicate, he will have the country so screwed up in a week that the cartels will want asylum here.

A country where only the bad guys are allowed to own guns.

Never, ever...….

In 2017, 31.3 million people visited Mexico which represents 40% of all international travelers. That's an increase of 13% over the previous year.

Mexico is by far the MOST traveled to foreign destination for Americans.

I'm much more concerned about going to a mall, church, movie, etc. in America where some "disaffected youth" might be there to kill as many as he can than I am traveling to Mexico.

I still say over throw the whole country and then some, just stop at Panama. Just a little sliver of land to uphold.

Well the murder rate per 100,000 in the US is about 5. In Mexico it's about 30. So there's that math.

Land invasion doesn’t work with limited military—already spread too thin in the Middle East and other places
You can’t just stop at Panama; you would have to capture Venezuela, Bolivia, Columbia, Peru, Brazil
It would be an expensive exercise in futility.

Treat the traffickers as terrorists and seize their assets/bank accounts/retirement accounts/brokerage accounts/bitcoin/etc with just a warrant/no trial needed.
You take away their money and they can’t make payroll/afford military grade weapons/pay off government officials.

With our Constitution and legal system; we can’t have Singaporean like laws such as automatic death penalty for possession. We’ve been battling the supply problem for fifty years plus and it hasn’t worked (only gotten worse)

We should have open borders so the Cartel can run amuck up into the USA more freely. That would be cool. I need to cycle some ammo anyway.

I was told there would be no long division.

Did they include Arlington in the US stats?

That’s just the folks going back and forth not true vacationers

Don't need open borders for them, there already here.

The most traveled to destinations in Mexico are Cancun, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Guanajuato, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, San Miguel de Allende to name a few.

The majority of those places are vacation destinations.

Arlington is also a popular vacation destination
Six Flags
Jerry World
Hurricane Harbor
Wax Museum/Ripley’s
Little Raners
Lake A

lake arlington is a popular vacation destination?

The most beautiful floating diaper sunset you will ever see

The wax museum/Ripley's is in Grand Prairie. However, Arlington does have the Bowling Hall of Fame.

top notch entertainment right there!

You are correct. Ripley’s is like the Tulum of Cancun. Not in Cancun, but close enough.

don't forget the lovely xmas lights across the street from the dump.

Yet tourism only accounts for 8.5% of Mexico's GDP. And that was in 2017. Tourism is way off in Mexico right now.

I couldn't find any travel stats for 2018 or 2019.

Incredible reading. Be afraid, very afraid.

The world would be a better place without him, but I’ve got a big problem with the first paragraph


The addict/drug abuser has at least 50% of the blame

You take away one supply stream for an addict/drug abuser and they will find another supply of the same thing or seek out an alternative

If you got rid of all the illegal drugs in this country; there would be a liquor shortage and alcohol related deaths would sky rocket.

Addicts/drug abusers tend to find a way to kill themselves; many of them want this end, sort of like a compulsive gambler wants to become broke and destitute. Often times, the damage they do to themselves has collateral damage.

And don't forget Texas Live.

I don't buy into the blame shift to the addicts/users for the border problem. Some maybe, since they are the "demand" in the equation, but the porosity of the southern border is mostly due to the lack of sufficient physical barrier and the reluctance of libtards to come to the table on illegal immigration control. Tougher enforcement and stop any federal funds to idiotic sanctuary cities.

yep

we have a Guatemalan man working for us
as a labourer
he was
a professor down there
highly intelligent
sad
he is grateful to be here

yes

don't forget we got
The Medal of Honor Museum now

it would go way down
if they did

Two different problems with some common variables.
A physical barrier is easily bypassed with air and water drones, tunnels, and trucks.

Most of the addicts in Mexico would want to stay there—it’s cheaper

Undocumented and fraudulently documented workers paid in cash without tax collection while over using state and federal services is not good for the treasury’s cash flow.

There is also an addiction to low cost labor and services.
We know it’s bad for us; but it’s perpetuated and encouraged.

"Most of the addicts in Mexico would want to stay there—it’s cheaper" CCTX maybe you are on to something, instead of putting addicts in prison we send them to Mexico.

It's almost impossible to curtail America's insatiable appetite for drugs.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 90% of heroin seized along the border, 88% of cocaine, 87% of methamphetamine, and 80% of fentanyl in the first 11 months of the 2018 was caught trying to be smuggled in at legal crossing points.

San Ysidro Port of Entry in southern California, the busiest port has 100,000 people (20,000 pedestrians) crossing through each day and 70,000 northbound vehicles as well.

How do you search 70,000 vehicles a day? Ah... you can't.

Nope. To them t's part of the cost of doing business.

The obvious answer is to eliminate fossil fuels.

Whats New!

I ain't going to either.

Let's add this also:

No, no, no, ... Trump is behind this !

how many of those are cruise ship passengers ?

Boatloads

Arlington is just the new East side Ft Worth

Arlington should never be associated with Ft.Worth, it may reside in the same county, but it's a s-hole totally distinct to itself

Fort Worth?

I should have been more clear, Arlington is a cesspool

Someone is misguided here.

This turned into a great laugh before bed

Greeeeeeat and I just so happen to be right on the border at the moment ....

Keep your eyes and ears peeled back at all times, dude....they don't play games down there.

I have been to beaches in Mexico many times never any real issues but was with large groups each time from my wife's work. We have been there done that probably close to a dozen times and zero plans to ever step foot in Mexico again and the recent news just confirms that plan. Her work has pretty much stopped the trips as a bonus but the last 2 we simply passed anyway no desire to go back.

I lived in Guadalajara for the better part of a year back in 2011. Back then I was told that Guadalajara was El Chapo's city very little crime happened there without his approval. So as long as you stayed off his radar (which wasn't hard for me) it was actually a fairly safe. Sure seems like it's much like the middle east now where we remove the strongmen and things actually get worse. Traded the devil we know for the devils we don't.

thats dumb
what hood do you live in?

if you read the news
there are 2 murders & 1 suspicious fire
reported on today
in Fort Worth
ZERO in Arlington

i like Fort Worth
& my neighborhood is not a cesspool

except that it floods and is full of gunfights.

Deputy dog keeps the criminals under control with his patented rifle on the porch method of law enforcement, but deputy dog can’t be held responsible for poor city drainage planning or leaves being blown down into the storm sewers.

I would go to Guadalajara in the late 90's to visit the Motorola site (and get extremely drunk). I would walk from my hotel to the site and would pass 6 -7 houses that you knew were cartel due to the huge vatos wearing $1,000 jackets in 110 degree heat. Fairly safe?!? Tell that to the dozen innocent bystanders that were killed in crossfire outside a house that I had walked by at least 20 times the week before. Our company pulled all our employees and that was my last trip to Guadalajara.

Only thing I miss were the street tacos and tequila.

the creek is being taken care of now
Double D doesn't need a rifle
thats the best part

&
both of those events
made the legend of
Double D
only grow larger
via the #5 tv audience
in the world

we have plants in Guadalajara, Toluca and Monterrey. we haven't had any trouble, but they have security for sure.
