Mexican Violence
For those people who worry about the flow of immigrants across the Rio Grande and talk about "Enforcing the Laws;" pay attention to the following sites.

If we do not pay attention to the increased violence these articles show, we will be dealing with these problems ad infinitum. I hear many people on the left and the right talk about what pulls immigrants to this country. How many have talked about what pushes them out of their country? This includes Mexico, Africa, Asia or anywhere you might think of. If we want to secure the areas we need to use solutions that are in everyones self interest. I do not mean building a wall or letting everyone in who can walk across. Given the violence documented the only logical choice is for some troops to be deployed on both sides of the border to keep the peace. What do you think?
