State Attorney General Terry Goddard warned of "gunfights in the streets of Tucson" if the U.S. doesn't get a handle on well-funded, highly organized Mexican drug cartels that have ramped up violence along the border."The cartels are totally integrated, with arms-, money-, drug- and human-smuggling all a part of their business operations," Goddard said Tuesday (April 7) after a three-hour, closed-door meeting with 60 law enforcement officials.

Another new program that may help reduce border violence is an overall economic aid program for Mexico that might help stabilize the country's reeling economy and which includes a program to help border officials inspect vehicles entering their country and detect guns and money.
Why is the continuation of throwing good money after bad considered a solution? The border shared with the cesspool known as mexico should be sealed and we should let them self implode.

I have no doubt that the latter is the most feasible solution and the best thing that could happen to America.

I agree 100%

Either that or we go in and take over Mexico.

Needless to say: I prefer Option A

Bring home our troops and get them on the border. Put an end to this mess once and for all.

The drug lords are moving their families and themselves over to the USA thinking that will protect them from their enemy drug lords -- who are in fact doing the same thing.

Of course there will be gun fights between Mexicans in our streets. There already are. Mexico is bringing the military to these areas of violence which makes it even worse because doing that only pushes their violent types over to the USA.

If discussing El Paso----------what you outlined is indeed plausible.
