We always speak of the wars we fight in distant lands, whether they are for freedom or for protection, or for preservation. We rarely, however, speak of the wars that are waged here at home. Mexico shares a 2000 mile boarder with the United States and this boarder has been ravaged by violence, drugs, and illegality.
Just Tuesday another four people were killed, while another 7 police officers were wounded. How is it that these occurrences are not being recognized in the media or, more importantly, by our government…
Danger in knocking on the doorstep of this country- the violence is spilling across boarders and the drugs are spreading through our states, corrupting youth and adult alike. Yet our government takes no action… The boarder fence sits unfinished and the boarder patrol is largely ineffectual at protecting our boarder towns.
The question becomes this, what action will the US take as Mexico continues to spiral towards civil war?
