Caramba! Can You Believe It

Mexico is mad because we are warning our citizens about the danger of kidnapping and violence along our borders. The three caballeros, Vincente Fox, Santiago Creel and Luis Ernesto Derbez are shouting "Unfair". This, they say, is a result of a crackdown in Mexico on the drug cartels causing gang wars over the routes used to get the goods to the USA. And it's all our fault because if there wasn't a market for the stuff here they wouldn't be trying to smuggle it to us. I guess the illegal invasion of immigrants is our fault also because if we didn't have a robust economy people wouldn't be trying to sneak in. And, by the way, Creel says our complaints about this can be compared to Mexico's complaints about the treatment of Mexican migrants by US authorities and anti immigration groups.
Somebody needs to pound some sense into that clown. First of all the Americans visiting, (and Santiago there is a big difference between legally visiting a country and illegally sneaking into it) are in Mexico legally. The migrants, as you call them, are illegal invaders subject to our law enforcement. The other groups you mention are not anti immigration, they are anti lawbreakers.
Oh, and speaking of law enforcement there seems to be substantial evidence that some of your police may be involved in these assaults on our citizens. Mexican police, the best money can buy! Here are the stats: 27 Americans kidnapped, 2 dead, 11 missing and 14 released.
One last thing, those statistics don't include what is referred to as "express kidnapping" where you are taken to an ATM and forced to withdraw and handover sums of cash before you are let go.
Somehow in the depraved logic of these three clowns I'm sure Uncle Sam is responsible for everything. I suppose we could just drive our economy into the ground so there would be no jobs and money for drugs and we could coexist in poverty. Well, Vincente, that's not in the plans. I, for one, would rather wait for the revolution. That's when the people you the other former presidentes have ripped off rise up and hang you all from the nearest street lamps.
