If 80% of the Mexico is controlled by drug Cartel I have a hard time believing we are going to get any help from them without military action. 80% is past due time to consider the Mexican government out of control of their own security. I think it is time for our governments to negotiate military action against drug cartel. If they don't want to act we have to. We have to protect our country. These drug Cartel are joining ranks with terrorists from the ME that are bragging they can come right in and kill thousands of Americans. People don't like to but if they looked at the images of the beheadings and dismemberments drug Cartel are doing. Looked at the number of people they are killing in the most torturous and brutal ways they would realize this is ISIS style killings. We just can't pretend it isn't a problem anymore. As I posted in the last article the Las Zitas (spelling?) coyotes are military trained and armed. Some of them former Mexican military that were even trained in the US. Our citizens are in danger. Troops should be armed and ready at the border. This is a long drawn out invasion. We have just sat by and watched.

Chosen, your thoughtful comments reminded me of 100 years ago.
In 1916, a Mexican piece of trash called Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, NM;
killing some 2 dozen Americans.
Woodrow Wilson, although a lefty, ordered John Pershing to Mexico to capture/kill
Villa who, sadly, was never found; although some 1000 guerrillas were killed.
Back then our nation was united by outrage but today we certainly are not.
The danger here is that our military will be left holding the bag by our political trash.
