Actually the crime rates seem to be going down around the immediate border on the US side. Just looking at this statistic one might assume that everything is just fine. However, Mexican gang violence has increased across the US. Also, violence along the Mexican border on the Mexican side is increasing as gangs fight for access points into the US.

Originally posted by whodeyI am not sidetracking anything. I'm responding to a question you asked in your OP. How exactly does your point about gang violence in Mexico and in the U.S. support your assertion that the U.S. border with Mexico "seems as if it is not patrolled"? You brought it up, and now you seem to be trying to distance yourself from what you said.

Well you know that the war on terror has now turned its attention as planned to "White AL CIA DA" They will be armed. Just another piece of high tech totalitarianism that needs to be in place. A little research will show how they have been used elsewhere in the world and are basically tools of assassins in the CIA.

Remember Ben Franklin's wise word on security and liberty. That one who would "sacrifice liberty for security deserves neither".
