MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Forty-nine bodies with their heads, hands and feet hacked off were found Sunday dumped on a northern Mexico highway leading to the Texas border in what appeared to be the latest carnage in an escalating war between Mexico's two dominant drug cartels.



Local and federal authorities discovered the bodies before dawn scattered in a pool of blood at the entrance to the town of San Juan, on a highway leading from the metropolis of Monterrey to the border city of Reynosa. A white stone arch welcoming visitors was spray-painted with black letters: "100% Zeta."



Many people believe that the major threat the united states is facing are the conflicts overseas.. Personally, I fear the mexican cartel violence that continues to spill over the border into the United States. Why is it that the US doesnt treat this like a viable threat? Why is it that they dont pull US soldiers on the border to control this issue? It seems like stories like the one above are popping up all the time, gratned this one is IN mexico, but it was still very close to the Texas border. Moving forward, I would love to see this administration, and the next, put more effort into solving this cartel violence issue on the border. The police/border patrol down there arent equipped to handle this HUGE issue, they need more funding, more man power, and more people in D.C. carrying about their well-being as they continue to put their necks on the line against these murderous cartels...

I just dont understand why our Govt. acts the way it does, you would think that handling this issue would be a no-brainer
1. Drug trafficking
2. Murders
3. Violence spilling over our borders

What more do they need? They SHOULD be crushing these cartels now...

This happened that close.

And people say border security isn't a priority.


Nonsense!!! Didn't you see this Huffington Post article?
US-Mexico Border Safety: Area is one of the safest parts of America

MEXICO CITY (Associated Press) — It's one of the safest parts of America, and it's getting safer. It's the U.S.-Mexico border, and even as politicians say more federal troops are needed to fight rising violence, government data obtained by The Associated Press show it actually isn't so dangerous after all.


/sarcasm

Yes you read that correctly! The MSM loves telling us how safe the border is even though the people who live there say otherwise.

Our government is run by large corporations and not the people.

Iraq, Iran, Libya and Kuwait have the oil with Iraq estimated to be the first oil reserve in the world with more than 360 billion barrels.

Afghanistan has the poppies that make heroin our government imports and uses the monies for their black ops program

en.wikipedia.org...

It's all about the money.

And we are selling arms and military training to other countries via the South Border corridor.

Follow the money.

People do not count - the elite only care about power and money.

Most of the governments, world wide now are corrupt.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Mexican cartels have existed for at least 4 decades without really being noticed. This wave of violence didn't start until the american trained Zetas came on the scene and conveniently switched sides. Some would say that they were put in place by the US to destabilize Mexico so that the US can play a larger role in Mexico's security with support from the citizens of both countries.

NAFTA had a part called the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership)

NAFTA’s Dangerous Security Agenda

It is therefore not surprising that NAFTA, the pioneer U.S.-style trade agreement, also became the first FTA to be officially expanded into security. The goals are twofold: to apply the Bush counterterrorism model throughout North America and bring Canadian and Mexican national security apparatus under closer U.S. control and surveillance, and to protect investment and business throughout the region. Under-Secretary of State Thomas Shannon put it succinctly when he said that the SPP "understands North America as a shared economic space," one that "we need to protect." He added: "To a certain extent, we’re armoring NAFTA."


That would be the reason nothing is being done, yet.
