There needs to be more pressure on the Mexican government to stop the drugs and illegal immigrants on their side of the border instead of exporting them to the U.S.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It has become much more difficult to smuggle dangerous substances across our borders over the past three years, and this is creating real problems for drug traffickers.
These are busy times for the Border Patrol, the customs agents, immigration folks; but if we are going to send these agencies to fight a war on drugs, to fight a war against illegal behavior, we have to send them the proper tools.
It's also very important in Latin America. If we can deal with the drug problem there, some of their strife there, it's less likely we have immigration problems here.
We must curtail the flow of illegal immigrants across the Mexican border.
We must safely secure our border by investing in more law enforcement and technology, and receiving cooperation from the Mexican government.
The United States and Mexico are trapped - economically, culturally, politically and because of drug crime - in the same continent.
In the Mexico we want, there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.
The current prohibition laws are forcing drug disputes to be played out with guns in our streets. We need to put a stop to this criminal drug element in our country.
By encouraging its citizens to violate our border, Mexico is pushing a tremendous welfare burden off of its shoulders and onto ours, while also benefiting from the significant sums of U.S. currency that these workers will eventually send back home to their families.
Canada has as much or more control of the border than we do. Getting into Mexico is a lot easier than getting into Canada.
