I hate drugs but this won't stop until you 'Legalize Drugs' then spend the billions on prevention, montoring and rehab clinics. Alcholol is a drug and we sell and regulate it, help people addicted and punish those who abuse it. Why not the same with all drugs? Imagine a world where gangs and cartel lose their power because we legalize it and tax it. Billions wasted, also all the prisoners and tax dollars on them. Open your mind to a different kind of policy. Ron Paul 2012.

"Debido a que los EE.UU. es en parte responsable de lo que está sucediendo allí. Drogas venir a los EE.UU., miles de millones de dólares y miles de flujo de armas a las manos de los cárteles en México. Además, si los EE.UU. se va a gastar miles de millones de $ en guerras, no hay que pasar a alguien en el que directamente nos afecta. "

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con su comentario, porque mientras que la miseria no llaman a la puerta de los americanos que innoram la situación de sus vecinos.

@jaquie321 You're talking out of your ass.Mexico has too much pride to ask for help from the US.Secondly I blame anchor rats for a large part of illegal drug consumption here as well as working hand in hand w/the cartels

@N33DB33R Because the US is partially responsible for what's happening there. Drugs come in to the US, billions of $ and thousands of weapons flow back into the hands of the Cartels in Mexico. Besides, if the US is going to spend Billions of $ on wars, shouldn't we spend some on one that directly affects us.

@jaquie321 This is "Mexico" not the U.S., why dont you like the U.S.? The U.S. is not "Mexico". Open your eyes and ears!!!! Mexico's Military is the "Cartel". They all get Bribed thousands, and thousands of dollars to let the cartels exist. In some parts of Mexico, the Cartel's run the towns and the police and military.

Why should the U.S. get involled? Thats a Mexican Problem. How do you think the "Cartel's" just go to a Prison and Rescue their Prisoners without firing one shot? Bribes!!!!!

The USA should get their troops out of the mid-east where they leave countries worse than b4 and kill thousands of innocent civilians and put them into Mexico to work with the Mexican troops. If they wanted to, the US could help Mexico to completely clean out the drug lords and all corrupt persons but they wont.

After all, it's happening because of demand from the US citizens.

I'm an Aussie and I really am beginning to dislike the USA & can see how corrupt it's becoming.
