By all means, lets let all the illegals stay, tear down the fence and fire our border guards. We are good neighbors... just invite the drug cartels to come and destroy our cities and towns, kidnap our children and bomb us into a vision of he11

Americans are directly financing Al-Queda and Taliban by Demanding the Narcotic Drug Heroin from Afghanistan.

Funny how everyone blames the Supply side of Narcotic Drugs but nobody comments about the Demand side.

In 1993, the CIA killed the KingPin leader Pablo Escobar of the Medellmn Cartel of Columbia. At that time (and I guess how too), medellin was the largest in the world.

Today, drugs import is 10 times of 1993. Eliminate the head/leader and 10 commanders are ready for the promotion.

The best way to take a big bite out of the Drug Cartels is the same way a big bite was taken out of Mob controlled gambling and booze, legalize it! Legalizing Drugs is the lesser evil.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that AL-QAIDA has taken over most drug cartels. They will put lethal agents into the drugs, so drug users will poison themselves.

THAT will cut down on drug use...

Yes, yes, the PEACEFUL immigrants from Mexico. Just here to work on farms and in illegal meat packing plants, where they will take jobs away from LEGAL workers and get hands and limbs cut off by unsafe machines but they''re afraid to complain because they could get deported.

They''ll also engage in other peaceful behaviors like stealing anything you left on your patio while you''re at work, breaking into your house and VERY RESPECTFULLY browsing through your belongings and carefully putting back what they don''t want to take. Sorry about the broken window, but your lock was REALLY STRONG. It was an accident. Sorry.

Yes, what possible harm could they do...

Oh, and sorry about that potted plant they stole. You left it outside, and it was SO PRETTY they thought their Grandma would like it. I hope you understand, it''s just that we''re so poor. Sorry.

Eliminate the Demand for Narcotic Drugs in America and you automatically eliminate/kill all Drug Cartels.

According to our Constitution...we can only have ONE president of this country....at ONE time! I suggest you target you comments to your President George W. Bush, and advise him how effing easy it is to accomplish?!

It may seem hard to accept, but there is only one solution to this problem.
Take out the gangs by destroying the profit in drugs.
Legalize (or at least decriminalize) drugs.
If you take the time to really study the history of black markets and the drug consumption in this country, then controlled-distribution by the government is the only answer.
These scum will stop at nothing to get their money. Billions and billions of dollars.
You can destroy the constitution and keep locking up people, put tanks in the streets and rant about morality, but until drugs have the profit-motive removed nothing will help.
It is an UNWINNABLE war.
Legalize drugs NOW.
Before it is too late.

Ya, throw open the border. What do you think is going on right now? Millions of illegals sucking the life out of our citizens, our economy, our educational system and our law enforcement system, and our culture.

Hardworking LEGAL Mexicans are not loathed. They are willingly accepted and welcome. Your accusation of fear is a joke. No one fears Mexicans! They fear the financial and cultural demise of this country with the invasion of illegal Mexicans.

You must be some child who jumped on his mommy''s computer.

And how many of the millions of illegals in this country are helping the goals of these drug gangs?

How many legal citizens are left in this country who think illegals crossing our borders, draining our system and breaking our laws should be excused and allowed to remain in this country?

Those who open their arms to illegals should be taken out along with them.

Well, what do you expect when the wall isn''t built and our politicians selfishly vie for hispanic votes, putting every American citizen at risk.

Close the border, deport every last illegal and build the wall. The people are thoroughly disgusted with the arrogant dismissal of our concerns about non-assimilating hordes, ghettos, gangs and criminals streaming into our country with the approval of John McCain, Barack and others who want "god''s children" to do the work Americans won''t do.

You reap what you sow. Go get''m Sheriff Joe.

Just another racist article intended to generate fear and loathing of hardworking Mexican immigrants. I say, throw open the border and let them all in.
