I'm more than a little worried about that. The U.S. military says Mexico is on the verge of collapse. Along comes Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and denies that, stating there's nothing to fear and talking about getting control of America's problems with illegal drugs, and stopping the flow of illegal guns into Mexico. How many years has the government been fighting illegal drugs in America? And guns? I read Clinton's remarks on guns as controlling gun ownership in America, not Mexico. Since when are Mexican drug cartels limited to getting guns from the United States? I read all of this as a cover-up of what is really going on regarding security along the U.S.-Mexico border. Our porous borders must be closed, and soon. Otherwise our sovereign nation will become a nation of no laws, no order, no rules. Let's get real about what is happening on the border. Let's forget about making illegal aliens legal just because they're here. If it takes the military to close our porous borders, then let's do it.
