What happens when the government refuses to protect the border?

The US military has to warn its personnel and civilian employees not to enter Mexican border towns. This warning also includes US towns located along the southern border. The area is increasingly under the control of drug lords. The drug lords have placed death-bounties on US border patrol agents and US military personnel.

It is NOT safe for military to enter towns on the US side of the border... Nice.

If the government doesn't do something very soon, people are going to start doing it by themselves. The minutemen have been pretty solid, but eventually, some other group of guys is going to be shooting with more than cameras.

Ima move me down that direction within the next year. The better security is, the closer I will move to the border.

The government talks about not being able to find these shadow sulking illegal immigrants to have them deported... how is it that there are so many polls of (not about) polling of illegal immigrants asking how they feel about the amnesty issue? Why can a reporter track down the elusive illegal but the US government can not find hide nor hair of them?

The government doesn't really care about undocumented immigrants since most of them are doing jobs that the average american refuses to do....primarily agriculture.

It is call soberan territory respect, and when countries don't respect
it is casus beli.

The best thing would be to freakin' forget about stupidities, accept
that the free trade that the U.S. preaches DOES inclue free movement
of people, and make once and for all a union of Canada, the U.S.
and Mexico.

The CanAMexican army 😛 would be extremely efficient fighting
drugs and terrorists as well as protecting the beaches and,
most important, the small border of the Union with Central America.

According to Ricardo’s comparative advantage analysis,
free trade achieves maximum economic efficiency and overall
productivity gains when unhindered by protectionism.

Labor is a good and it's part of the comparative advantage
of a country.

Canada, the U.S. and Mexico have in NAFTA the path set for a
future Union so free movement of people is the next step, plus those
who want complete freedom but only in some things are a little
bit hypocrites.

All freedom or no freedom, man.

At least that is my opinion.

Borders down in North America! Power for the people!

I feel the same way about my neighbors. Some of them have worked their butts off and have all the things I dream of.

Down with door locks

Down with alarm systems

Let me use your stuff... your free to use my crap...

I tell them they are bad people because they don't let me enjoy the fruits of their hard work...

Never again! So I break in and steal it... its fair... right?

Why would America and Canada want to drown themselves with the weight of Mexico?

If America and Canada had to try to support all of the people of Mexico, it would sink all three. Making all nations worse off, not better.

No dude, that is a phallacy. You are twisting it.

Check Europe... it's the same thing I am saying for NAFTA region.

And excuse me, but here in Finland the fact that we are in Europe
does not mean that I leave my door open, man.

At least the government has not informed me about it.

Support?

Who's supporting who?

Each country has big advantages and disadvantages, and they
complement each other.

Each country would put to the common their best, and the 3 of them
would fight against the whole Union's flaws.

Mexico has a huge, hardworking work force and vast natural resources.
