Declare Mexico a terrorist state.

I'll say it. We have a terrorist state just south of us. Mexico is a terrorist state like no other. The drugs that are imported from there poison and kill are citizens every day. For years now their violence has killed more U.S. citizens than 9/11. The Mexican government is constantly corrupt and inept. The citizenry does little to improve the status quo. The drug cartels hold entire cities hostage and have police and politicians in their pockets. Let's look at the comparison between Mexico and countries we actually have declared terrorist nations.

Cuba is on the list of state sponsors of terror people, Cuba! A nation frozen in the 1950's who people are starving and swim over to the Keys everyday to get the hell out of there. When was the last time you heard of Cuba terrorist kidnapping our citizens on US soil and torturing and killing them, never! Go to El Paso, Laredo, Brownsville, hundreds of cases, most unsolved where MEXICAN drug cartels have taken our citizens some never to be returned. Syria is also on the list, through Hezbollah, has killed a handful of our fellow Americans. I am not trying to diminish the death of those Americans my thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims.

What direct impact has any of those nations on the list has had to our homeland that can compare to the damage that our alleged allie Mexico? As we speak they are holding some of our patriots in prison under the threat of torture and death if a ransom is not paid. These are the prison officials calling the family of former Marine Jon Hammer. As reported on Fox News Jon was headed to a trip to chill in Costa Rica and wanted to do a little hunting so he brought a sixty year old Sears shotgun with him. Jon declared the weapon on both sides of the border according to his attorney and family. Then these scumbag Mexican officials arrest him for having a "Military" style weapon. For a time he was even chained to his bed because they feared his Marine training. Other then Iran with the hikers that crossed their border a few years ago, name me any other country on the list who is doing this.

Recently there was the case of the Texas trucker who got confused at the border and was trying to turn around while hauling ammunition for his company. How many month's did he have to spend in that God forsaken country's jails? If I were president I would make a phone call and tell them to free him immediately. If he wasn't on the border in twenty four hours I would have SEAL team 6 go into the prison and rescue the former Marine who deserves not to be left behind. The congressman for the Hammer family stated this morning that the state department is slow walking any effort to bring our Marine home. I blame the Obama administration for projecting weakness to these rogue nations. Would Realism advocate an invasion of Mexico? I have to think about that one.
