So, do you think the drug cartels care if the border stays open?

[Cypher]

I guess the better question DC needs to ask itself, why do the drug cartels in Mexico want to borader to stay open. Even more concerning, why do so many politicians in DC want the border to stay open.

A Mexican drug cartel has reportedly put a hefty price tag on the head of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

As parts of Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, went into effect last week, a Mexican drug cartel sent out text and audio messages offering rewards to anyone who would join its fight, a source who says his wife received the message told MyFoxPhoenix.com.

"It's offering a million dollars for Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head and offering a thousand dollars for anyone who wants to join the Mexican cartel," the man, who wants to remain anonymous, told the station.

The instructions included directions to pass the message along and listed an international phone number, MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.

The man reported the message to the Sheriff’s Department, which says it believes the message originated in Mexico and could be credible. But even if the message isn’t authentic, Lisa Allen of the Sheriff's office told MyFoxPhoenix.com, it could still pose a threat.

"It's going so many different places that our folks are looking at it and thinking well, at any given point in time, it could land in front of some crazy person who thinks I can do that," she said.

The sheriff's office hopes to track down the exact source of the messages, but says that may be difficult to do with an international number, the station reported.

The drug cartels do not give a damn either way.I'm sure they will find a way to get their product here.

[mriddick]

Of course they want it open, it just makes business easier.

[printerman]

Isn't this whole charade really about "Reconquestadoria" anyway ! Mexico wants what they think is theirs and soon our ability to defend this border will be obvious and America will then know her halls have been infiltrated .....

[O.S.O.K.]

The drug cartels are about the same thing that our current federal government is about... money and power.

Will they contest closing it is the big question.

Yes! It is! I've read reports where there have been mock trials on European campuses. In these trials, Americans ( or at least white Americans) have been found guilty of genocide through colonization. The only true justice, accoriding to the mock trials, would be to let the natives living ( i.e. latinos) recolonize America and force the invaders out. Seriously.

The Treaty ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). Mexico Ceded 525,000 square miles to the United States in exchange for $15 million.

The treaty ensured existing property rights of Mexican citizens in the transferred territories. Naturally the property rights of Mexican citizens were rarely honored by American courts.

The treaty included parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming, as well as the whole of California, Nevada, Utah, and Texas. The remaining parts of Arizona and New Mexico peacefully ceded under the 1853 Gadsden Purchase for 10 million.

So Mexico's claim is what? We owe them what? Screw the cartel, lock down the border and flame everybody that tries to smuggle people across it. If they are smuggling drugs or other contraband hang their carcasses from fence posts to make it easier for coyotes and buzzards to get to them. We owe them nothing. Certainly not justice in our courts.

[Dr. Gonzo GED]

Of course they want it "open". Keeps their overhead low. They do run a business after all.

Not that they would have any problems digging a tunnel though. They've been doing that for decades already...

What we need is a DMZ like in Korea.
Guards along our side and fill that bitch with land mines and booby traps.

I reenlisted once on the DMZ out on the Freedom Bridge.
It was great.
Surrounded by armed guards and with a huge American flag by me I took my oath again.
The entire time, NORTH Koreans on the other end of the bridge were yelling USA sucks! Go home GI's.
It was great.

Did you offer them a single digit salute?

A one million dollar bounty on Joe's head? Dealing with the Cartel, do you really think that they'll pay up?

[Dr. Gonzo GED]

Honestly, they would probably just bury the trigger man somewhere in the desert.

Then the've got their dead sherrif, still have the million dollars, and no loose ends.

It's the oldest trick in contract murder. Take out your associates, keep the money.

I'm just waiting for the first car bomb to go off on our side of the border. It'll be real interesting watching the Barry Administration try to spin that fiasco.

We already have Detroit why would you want to take on a whole country full of Detroits. These guys make New Jersey gangsters look like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.:wow:

It'll all be because of those white, racist, christian bigots: the tea party!

I know my history too ;)


Canada can be turned into 6 states.....Mexico into 4.



.....100 acres given to every American who partakes....and I'm not fucking around.


I've seen what happens first hand to Americans when trying to enter Canada in the last 12 years who unfortunately run into power hungry maple leaf saluting socialists......


I could really give a flying fuck what would happen when 50 million or more Americans are let loose to wreck havoc in the Northern territories and Southern occupied zones.....


So ya, I am totally for annexation....and if Americans make it all the the way to the Falklands, more power to 'em...civilizations either advance or decline.....and we need to fuckin advance.

[Krupski]

They come here all the time anyway. You know, to go to American gunshows and buy grenades and machineguns by exploiting the "gunshow loophole"?

I know it's true... because my government told me so.

.....100 acres given to every American who partakes....and I'm not fucking aroundWe have Wyoming suing the feds we have the feds suing Arizona, we have at least a third of all our states nearly ready to tell Washington to take a hike and you want to add another 4,610,100 square miles and 139,662,000 people many who don't speak English to the mix. Are you outta your mind? We are trying to make government smaller and more responsive to our needs and you want to make them rulers of half the damn world?????????????????

Have you looked at the squabbles between Canada and their native population or the fun between the French speaking Quebec and the 88% English speaking Canadians. How about the inherited mess of the drug cartels and the ethnic problems. Mexico is not a homogeneous ethnic population and they have serious problems down south. You might want to take a step back and see if we can clean our house first.

I think you misconstrued me....


I agree with ya, but at the same time if it were up to me......75% of the barbians wouldn't live to see what eventually needs to be done.


We've been sitting idle for far too long now, and just like all the great cizilizations in the past.....you either do or do not.


Our military is by far the greatest the world has ever seen, and I'm one American who's beyond done dealing with heathen socialist neighbors.

Imagine if Canadians and Mexicans were allowed to vote in our elections.........
