As Mexican officials crack down on these cartels, violence spreads. Lives are merely the cost of doing business, and since 2007 the international press has documented more than 7,400 drug war-related murders on the border.
Police are gunned down in public squares. Failed drug smugglers are tortured to death and bound from head to toe in duct tape. Enemies are beheaded.
U.S. authorities fear the violence is creeping across the border. Yet the truth is that Mexican drug cartels are already entrenched in Oklahoma, casting an ominous shadow on the future of our cities and rural communities.
"Oklahoma's No. 1 threat is the Mexican drug cartels," said Darrell Weaver, executive director of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. "Make no mistake."

"The Mexican drug cartels have no boundaries, and law enforcement should be concerned."
Agent M.S. is fully aware of the escalating danger in Oklahoma. Yet he is a realist.
"We do what we can do," he said. "I just know one thing: We need more agents."
What the US needs to do is massive raids/deportations. Mexican nationals with anchors under the age of 18 should be sent back with their "parents"; promptly seal the southern border and surround it with troops. Cut off all aid and assistance and let mexico live or die on it's own. Enough already
In my opinion, the ONLY way to stop the drug cartels SOB is to attack them in their pocketbooks. I think it is time this country seriously considers legalizing and regulating the use of drugs. We should tax drugs and then use the money for drug treatment programs and hiring more border agents.

Marijuana yes, possibly cocaine...........the rest of the illegal drugs, hell no---------especially Meth.
As long as American junkies need cocaine, these cartels will be around.
Truly, as long as there are drug dealers making and processing illegal drugs and luring the young, there will always be victims of addiction to illegal drugs.
