Violence Spikes in Mexico

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Rosalba Padilla thought the first shots were nothing but construction in her quiet, upper-class Tijuana neighborhood. It wasn't until she looked out her window and saw a sea of police that she realized the noise was gunfire.

Down the street, at the Preschool of Happiness, director Gloria Rico activated the school's alarm, prompting police to rush into the building, their guns drawn. Rico said the children were terrified by the chaos.

"Some were crying, one vomited and another wet his pants," she said Friday, adding that the police quickly put away their weapons and started evacuating the children.

The fighting erupted as federal agents raided a house near the U.S. border Thursday that authorities say sheltered gunmen linked to drug traffickers. Soldiers and police joined skirmishing that became a chaotic three-hour battle. A federal agent and a gunman died and four officers were wounded in the latest outbreak of violence across the border from San Diego. Inside the house, authorities later found six slain kidnap victims.

At this point in time, I'd say Mexico, all the illegals, and the drug smuggling problem on the southern border is a bigger problem and posses a greater danger to America and it's sovereignty than Iraq or the middle east does.

Bring our troops home and put them on the southern border. Shoot anybody or anything that tries to cross and doesn't stop. We need to end this madness.

I just heard a story on the news yesterday about the mexican gang MS-13. It's made up mainly of illegal aliens, and it's been growing unchecked for years. Even the Mafia is afraid of them, and it appears law enforcement is too. It's another example of, "maybe if we ignore it, it will go away." Our government has FAILED us in so many respects when it comes to illegals, the public should be absolutely outraged.

MS-13 originated in El Salvador and they compromise most of the gang but there is no shortage of Mexican gangs. but if you are against gang crime in America you're still probably going to be called a xenophobe.

It doesn't matter where it originated, it's huge here now, and a major problem, and it's made up mostly of illegal aliens of mexican decent.

Xenophobe... well, I don't think there's a better example of a xenophobe than a MS-13 better.
