At least the mexicans dont seem to be as gung ho suicidal as the arabs when it comes to this shit. No VBIED's and crap like that. I dont even know the fallout if a border checkpoint were to get hit by a carbomb.

This, lived near the border(~20mi) for a few years, most folks have no clue how bad it is. Fuck that place, every square inch of it. Those of us that LIVE HERE have known about it for a LONG FUCKING TIME and have been begging and pleading for help. All we got on Arfcom for YEARS was, "Any barriers to labor markets are illogical and unnecessary- so says the God Queen Rand". Swear to God I heard that fucking bullshit for YEARS here. You don't hear it now so much that everyone has grown up and moved out of mommies basement and figured out how the real world works....kinda funny that.... |

Can't watch the video, but are they having a lot of issues right now?

I was directly across the border in Hidalgo TX a few years ago. I was about 100 yards from the crossing and you could hear lots gunfire and see plumes of black smoke off in the distance. It was like that off and on for hours.
I heard the next day that the federal police and the cartels had gotten into a big fight. Everyone acted like it was no big deal. |

Really sad. My dad use to winter in McAllen, TX. Heck we took a day trip into Reynosa and then to Matamoros in the mid 2000's. Really enjoyed it. My dad doesn't even go to McAllen or Brownsville anymore. What a shithole area it's turned out to be.

Take a place that is historically all about nepotism, paternalism, and corruption....and add in the Narco fight for control of drug trafficking corridors and you have the ugliness that is the Texas/Mexico border. |

I'll lay you odds we have (or can obtain within a day) the coordinates of every drug lord's compound, as well as their manufacturing facilities and weed and poppy farms.
A few quick overflights with 500-pounders and incendiaries and most of this shit would stop overnight. Then we could go after the gangs. The crooked Mexican officials would scream like the stuck hogs they are, but we could just tell them the Russians did it. What could they do about it? |

Reminds me of the border crossing gunfight scene in Sicario. After they shoot a carload of bad guys in front of dozens of people one guy says over the radio that this will be on the front page of every newspaper in America, and a more experienced guy says it won't even make the papers in El Paso.
Cartels could full on capture cities and start doing military parades like ISIS did in Iraq and I'm not sure the MSM would talk about it. |

Americans should be very, very worried about the violence in Mexico spilling over into the US. The small town police departments in border towns would have no chance against some of those cartels.

A lot of people who come to visit San Diego plan a visit to Tijuana, and I think most San Diegans think they're fucking nuts. The last time I was in Mexico was 1997. Tijuana is crazy dangerous. There are kidnappings of Americans that never make national news, for some reason. And the murders, yeah there's a lot of them too. Over 700 in Tijuana in 2016. From January 2017 to April, there were 208 murders. Mexico is a war zone.
My dentist has a beachfront lease in Baja California (Americans cannot own land in Mexico) and he tells me it's perfectly safe there. He takes his family there all summer long. Sure hope I don't have to get a new dentist. |

What shocked me, and has opened the eyes of some libs I know. Is the pictures of the Texas DPS gun boats. I had never seen a mid sized motor boat with four dual mounted m240 machine guns before.
They would not have them if they didn't need them. I do want one of those boats though.
