When you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.... MEXICO CITY — More than 200 people have been slaughtered during the past seven days in the most violent week in the criminal insurgency racking Mexico since President Felipe Calderón unleashed federal forces against drug trafficking gangs. Ah, drug-trafficking gangs. Pray tell, where are they selling the drugs? That would be here in the US (for the most part), right? And how are they getting their drugs here? That would be over the open border that Mexico demands so their citizens can illegally enter the United States, right? "The difference now is that the criminals and security forces are clashing more frequently," said Raul Benitez-Manaut, a national security analyst. "The criminals are directly challenging the government." Of course they are. The government's policies are directly enabling the gangs and providing them with funding. They see the opportunity to take over, and they're attempting to seize that power. "Society asks the government to act, and we are going to act," Gonzalez told the newspaper Universal on Wednesday. "This is our territory. We are going to protect and defend it." Hmmmm... how about when we do that? You know, when society tells our government to defend and protect our territory? Then we're murderous butchers, right, even when Mexicans pelt our cops with rocks (which, incidentally, is "assault with a deadly weapon" and under any reasonable expectation of the use of force, can subject the thrower to gunfire. Oh wait - it did.) In a nationally televised address Tuesday, he again blamed much of the unrest on demand for illegal drugs in the United States and on Mexican gangsters' easy access to assault weapons bought in Texas and other U.S. states. Uh huh. Let's see if we can add some facts here: •We're idiots to make these drugs illegal. If they weren't then there would be no money to buy guns and ammunition with. No profit, no illegal business, no illegal gangs. Funny how the booze-running gangs stopped shooting up the streets in America when Prohibition was repealed! •To buy a firearm in America from a dealer you must be a citizen or a legal resident and you must file a 4473 and have it checked with the local gendarme (and indirectly via the FBI) to make sure you're not a prohibited person. So how is it that these guns are getting bought by people who have no legitimate United States identification in the first place? Answer: They're not. Most of those guns are not coming from the US - the claims otherwise are lies. (Read those stats carefully: Most of the traceable guns come from the US. However, nearly all are not traceable! There is no such thing, in the main, as a legal grenade launcher or fully-automatic firearm in the US. Yes, there are a few, but the price of them is in the many thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, the owners are FINGERPRINTED and vetted by the BATFE, and those who spend the money and go to the trouble to acquire them legally are damn protective of them, for financial reasons if no other. The fully-automatic weapons the gangs have are coming from the Mexican police themselves or from other nations such as Venezuela and China - not America.) Of course if there were no illegal mexicans in the United States then there would be no conduit for the guns to flow through, legally or otherwise. And if there was a border fence and actual enforcement of immigration laws, there would be no cross-border flows of weapons in the first place. It's damn hard to hide a 16" rifle barrel up your ass (the minimum legal length for a civilian rifle.) But Calderón also argued that government officials' historical connivance with the gangs was largely responsible for the power they have accumulated. He said the crackdown is essential as gangs increasingly sell drugs to Mexican consumers, extort businesses and private citizens and challenge the government's control. Ah, that's the problem. We have an open border, we have millions of Mexicans in the United States illegally, including a bunch of gang members, and they simply steal the weapons and then return them over that same open border. The solutions to this are simple and obvious: 1.Close the border. Period. Seal it. Post the National Guard with orders to shoot and fence the place. Make clear to Calderon that if his goons - whether wearing uniforms or not - come across the border via any means other than through legal channels, we will shoot them dead. 2.Give all the illegals in this country six months to leave. After that it's open season. No, we won't shoot 'em, but we will deport them instantly (no hearings, no BS, no games) behind the wall and if the gangs kill them on the Mexican side of the border, so be it. 3.Remove the demand side of the equation for these substances. This means legalization and taxation for most of them. Exempt from this a few (such as crystal meth) and for those drugs, make the punishment for distribution public execution. For those who want to use other drugs, such as marijuana, impose a tax high enough to fund the medical costs of their doing so - but leave consenting adults alone. The argument for the last point is not because we as a society want to see lots of drug use. To the contrary - we want to see less drug use. But we have accomplished nothing in the last 100 years with this stupidity other than arming criminal gangs through providing them with an insane amount of money, all of it removed from the taxation stream of ordinary commerce. We tried this with booze in the 1920s and wound up with gangs literally shooting up the cities and towns with automatic Tommy Guns. These gangs got their money from the manufacturing and sale of illegal liquor. In 1933, when Prohibition was repealed the gang activity associated with illegal liquor manufacturing, transport and sale disappeared. Why? Because it was no longer profitable to run booze illegally. Without a profit motive there was no money to buy Tommy Guns and bullets, and there was no territory or "product sales" to fight over. We have the recipe to stop this right here, right now. It's time for both Calderon and President Obama to grow up and take away the gangster's toys the only way you can: by destroying their funding source.

I wouldn't give an illegal trespasser six minutes to get off my property, let alone six months. It's time to conduct massive raids against mexicons all across the country NOW.
