U.S. weapons fuel drug violence, Mexico's president says

[Gerald]

Mexico City, Mexico (CNN) -- As Mexico approaches its bicentennial, Mexico's president says his country is fighting significant security problems -- many of which are fueled by U.S. policies.

"We live next to the world's largest drug consumer, and all the world wants to sell them drugs through our door and our window. And we live next to the world's largest arms seller, which is supplying the criminals," Mexican President Felipe Calderon told CNN en Español Friday.

leave it to mexicans to blatantly spout bull from every orifice. so what if some fools like drugs, that gives them an excuse to illegaly shuttle drugs over the border and to turn mexico into Gang capital of the world? We know WHY mexicans and other south and central americans come over illegally, but that doesnt give them the right to come over here and screw up OUR country too. Its like if you took in about 3 homeless people into your beautiful mansion. You shelter them, give them a great life. Then they tell all their friends about it. Then you take in more and more before you say enough im not taking anymore. thats when people start braking windows, butsing down doors so they can come into your house without permission. Then they start breaking EVERYTHING, and eventually your beautiful mansion becomes a large crackhouse.

and yet the mexican government ENCOURAGES them to go. and gives them ADVICE on how to get here. then they come in here and bust up the mansion and then you get pissed and tell everyone to Get the hell out. then they start browbeating you, calling you a racist and guilting you into not letting them go.

Please point to the gun shows where the cartels are getting their RPG's and belt-feds at for bottom of the barrel prices, cause I'll be first in line to grab one.

Must be in the back next to the guy selling jerky and the lady selling handbags.

"But I think in American society, there is still not a sense of sharing responsibility, unfortunately," he said.

Any takers?


EDIT

"Because in the era we live in, people only listen to a few words."

Oh snap! He is so right!
