jimnyc. Right you are. And, if they are so out of hand in Mexico. We cannot forget how much of a free hand they seem to be getting, here in this nation, along the Southern border states, where the Obama, Federal Govt. with A.G. Holder...seem to just look the other way. IE: FAST AND FURIOUS...now untouchable, and making being Unaccountable as a Federal agency THE NORM.
