While our president refuses to take necessary measures to secure our border, this is what’s happening on the other side of the Rio Grande:

(Yahoo) Fifty dead bodies have been discovered over the past two days in western Mexico, victims of a fierce war waged between the government and the nation’s powerful drug cartels.

The bodies of 26 young men were dumped in three vehicles near a busy intersection in Guadalajara. It bore the signs of a drug vendetta and a chilling message of more to come in Mexico’s second city, set to host an international book fair this weekend.

The gruesome find came the day after 24 bodies were discovered in the city of Culiacan, in northwestern Sinaloa state.

A message found with the latest bodies said the peace enjoyed by the states of Jalisco and Sinaloa, allegedly as a result of agreements between local authorities and the Sinaloa cartel, was over.

“There were 26 corpses altogether, all male and aged from 25 to 35 years,” Fernando Guzman, a top official in Jalisco state, of which Guadalajara is capital, told a news conference Thursday.

Most of the men had been asphyxiated, some were naked and some marked with the words Milenio and Zetas — the names of drug gangs — in oil, Guzman said.

Earlier this week yet another incident of Mexican drug cartel spill-over occurred, this time in Houston. The result was a shoot-out leaving one Houston officer wounded.

(Houston Chronicle) One man was killed and an undercover sheriff’s deputy wounded Monday in a shootout between a drug task force monitoring an 18-wheeler and hijackers who tried to take control of the truck in a northwest Harris County neighborhood, officials said.

One of the attackers was also injured, struck by an officer’s vehicle when he tried to shoot the officer, authorities said.

The Harris County sheriff’s deputy and other members of a multi-agency narcotics task force were watching the truck, thought to be carrying drugs, about 2 p.m. Monday near Hollister and Bourgeois when several vehicles approached the truck and opened fire, said Christina Garza, a Harris County sheriff’s spokeswoman.

The deputy and the other investigators at the scene immediately began firing at the hijackers.

“In that exchange of gunfire, one of our undercover deputies at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office was struck in the leg,” Garza said.

A sheriff’s department spokesman at the scene said he didn’t know what kind of drugs were inside the truck.

The deputy was taken to a hospital where he is expected to fully recover, officials said.

A man sitting inside the tanker truck cab died after he was shot during the gunfight. Garza said officials didn’t know who shot the man.

The wounded deputy was not identified because of his undercover law enforcement work. He is assigned to the multi-agency High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force, officials said.

Garza said one of the hijackers tried to shoot at an officer, who then hit the attacker which his vehicle. He was taken to an area hospital in unknown condition.

Investigators also arrested several people who tried to flee, officials said.

Sheriff’s officials at the scene would not confirm reports that the person killed was a police informant.

The tanker truck continued rolling forward during the gunbattle until it finally veered off the road and into a wooded area next to Champions Crossing subdivision.

Hamilton Russell, who lives nearby, said the truck looked familiar.

“For the last few days, there’s been a truck that looks very similar to that parking over there,” Russell said.

The truck came to a stop near a small park popular with children in the neighborhood.

“I’m just glad that the kids weren’t around here playing. It was a real shock to me,” said Keith Pruitt, who lives in the subdivision.

A Harris County sheriff’s deputy heading to the shooting was injured when he collided with a school bus.

The deputy had triggered his lights and siren when an Aldine ISD bus struck his patrol car near West Road and Antoine. The school bus also hit a third vehicle near the intersection, officials said.

No students were on the school bus at the time.

The deputy, the bus driver and the driver of the third vehicle were taken to the hospital for treatment, officials said.

Unfortunately, unless there we have substantial change in our border security and enforcement policies, we have no reason to believe Mexican drug violence in the U.S. will subside.

Well, all I know is that Obama does not care about closing the borders. He is responsible for so many blunders and is ruining US more and more each day. I still say he was put here by our enemies and won because the pansies felt sorry for the first African American president to run for president. They should now look in the mirror and see what Obama has done to US, sheer ruination.

For the first time in my life I feel that I am not going to vote for the "lesser of two evils." Just take a look at Newt Gingrich and his Contract with America, and if Newt Gingrich is nominated, I hope he chooses Cain as his VP. They are the most qualified to run this country. AND I don't care about any baggage, all politicians have baggage, and it is part of their personal lives and shouldn't even be brought up by the "mud slinging lamestream media" that loves to discredit people, especially if they are conservatives. Their personal lives will not effect their politics. How do we get the message out to the "politically uneducated" who are listening to the liberal/lamestream media and are brainwashed?

Time to send "A Few Good Men" and let the slime balls "Tell it to the Marines". I can guarantee the cartels will not enjoy the response they receive.

Worked in Houston for a year. Got up at 5 am, and watched live TV, every morning of shooting drug raids. If you do not experence such things, they seem impossible. Each drive on the freeway, was an exercise in fear, for there were daily shootings, for road rage. Perry wants to stop this, but if you live in Minniesota, it is hard to relate. Houston is 300 miles north of border. Will the USA wait until that is NYC? I also say. ah ah, when asked about it. It is much like asking how does the universe work? It is like the old Monty Python skits, you need more men on the job.

Time to fight fire with fire. Obama betrayed American states by having Mexico join in on an illegitimate lawsuit against states like AZ for daring to take a stand against illegal immigrants. Its time we get a coalition of Conservative, Republican governors to get litigious against the Obama Regime, and collaborate with the Mexican government. The attorneys general of Mexico, AZ and other affected states (maybe even affected counties) need to form an alliance and issue a class action lawsuit against Obama and Holder, and everyone else involved, charging them with everything appropriate, including HUNDREDS OF WRONGFUL DEATH SUITS. Pouring out into a combined purse, they should hire the best attorneys possible, and start issuing subpoenas against everyone, including Obama, himself to testify. If he tries pulling a Clinton, then the attorneys should insist he be charged with criminal contempt of court. All things that don't look good on the resume of someone begging to be reelected and hold on to political power. Obama wants to make history? Good. He can be part of the first president, VP, AG team to be sentenced to federal prison, then extradited to each and every affected American state, THEN extradited to MEXICO to face additional felony charges and prison time, with the promise of seeing the inside of Mexican general population prison cells.

This and so much more is what the price will be.

This is all part of Obama's plan...let the gun violence anddeath get wildly out of control, he even goes as far as supplying hundreds of assault weapons to speed things along. When people finally plead for something to be done, he will make a play to outlaw and ban all guns in the states. He can say "see how dangerous guns are, look how many people these guns are killing!"

If he gets elected he will have a chance to appoint another supreme court justice, giving him finally a liberal majority. The law can then stand forever basically.

The good citizens of Mexico (and there are plenty of good people in the country that just want to make a living and keep their families safe and sound) are being used a Obama pawns....along with us.

Obama must be defeated at the polls, he is an extremely dangerous man. We must secure the border (both ways) to keep us safe, and the people of Mexico safe as well.
