In recent days the dangers of Mexican drug cartels have been spotlighted in the media as well as what should be done about them. While Mexican drugs are smuggled into the United States, large volumes of cash and weaponry are being smuggled in to Mexico.
When asked if the President would be willing to commit to putting National Guard Troops on the U.S.-Mexican border, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “The president has committed to reviewing those requests, I don’t know of a timeline of a recommendation or a decision on that, but I know that he will certainly take their (request) under advisement.”
“Committed to reviewing”? He decided in less than two months to spend more money than all the other
Heavily Armed Mexican Smugglers
presidents in the history of the United States of America combined. Why is it so difficult to put The National Guard on the Mexican Border? These drug smugglers are armed to the teeth; assault rifles, machine guns, flack jackets.
The two deadliest drug cartels in Mexico field around 100,000 of what could only be described as foot soldiers.
The danger keeps growing; The Washington Times puts it in perspective.
The death toll dwarfs that in Afghanistan, where about 200 fatalities, including 29 U.S. troops, were reported in the first two months of 2009. About 400 people, including 31 U.S. military personnel, died in Iraq during the same period.
“Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades,”
Building The Great Wall of Mexico
This is enough to convince me, in addition to more National Guard troops I think we should build the Great Wall of Mexico. Not just a fence, but a Wall, a wall from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Pacific shores of California. A structure to rival The Great Wall of China.
This would not only keep out illegal immigrants that our economy can no longer support, but it would eliminate drug and weapons smuggling, it would also separate the American populous from a literal war zone. And prevent Weapons and cash from being smuggled into Mexico from The United States which is a tangible and growing problem
This wall could be patrolled with armed border soldiers and modern sensory equipment, a new military base should be established on the wall by which surveillance aircraft like the (predator drone) could be launched to patrol the border.
President Obama said that he intends to help stimulate the economy with millions of new construction jobs, this project would help create some of those jobs. Through out the Great Depression our government initiated some of the largest construction project in history such as The Empire State Building, and Hoover Damn.
Weapons Seized at the Mexican Border
The National Guard would beef up the border patrol while construction is in progress. The weapons confiscated at the border from gun runners and drug smugglers could probably equip all of our border troops. We have already seized massive weapons caches, these troops could get these weapons out of the hands murderous drug smugglers that could otherwise be used on innocent civilians.
How many jobs would this undertaking create? Consider the National Guardsman in this as well as the construction workers.
This would be much more constructive (no pun intended) than Hillary Clinton apologizing for our role in the escalation of the drug trade.
So far President Obama has yet to offer any specifics of his plans to control the Mexican border drug trade. All the while knowing that Congress has already passed a bill to build the fence in 2006. As explained by Opposing views this project was for a 700 mile long fence, not long enough to span the entire distance. They also have not yet funded this program in a congressional budget. Why hasn’t President Obama funded this? He’s funded everything else.
President Obama is in such a frenzy to advance his liberal agenda but he won’t protect citizens from harm spilling over from the Mexican Drug Wars.
Its a Cracked World!
