| #7 If the stuff I'm reading out of Cal and Texas is anything to go by, I wouldn't be caught dead in any Mex border town because I might end up staying dead if I was. Things are rough over there, as this story shows. Mex is well on its way to being a failed state. |

| #6 Most Mexicans are descended from the Indians not the Spanish. |

| #5 not so, bigjim. Assaults, carjackings, rapes have become close to commonplace in certain areas, especially of gringos, and many times by uniformed assailants |

| #4 If you aren't running drugs, Mexico is perfectly safe. |

| #3 I mean, we all understand that Mexico has problems but you're sounding just a wee bit racist there, borgboy, and I for one won't let it slide. I'm just as mad at Bush and McCain for their failure to secure the border as anybody. But you know, the violent criminal enterprise was never strictly a Spanish/Latino thing. White boys in this country who buy the drugs are just as much to blame as the thugs in Mexico. White businessmen who exploit cheap, illegal labor can share some of the blame too. And don't forget all the honest, hard working, family oriented Mexicans. In fact, I have long held the opinion that if the powers that be in this country really wanted to stop the drugs they could do it but there is plenty of corruption on both sides of the border. So don't try to pass that "Spanish/Latino bloodlines" crap unless you're prepared to defend it. |

| #1 Like 1920's Chicago, pols either accept the bribe or the bullet. The historicaly deep Arab strain in Spanish/Latino bloodlines showing through with the rampant beheadings... |
