Since Mexican drug cartels run Mexico / U.S. borders, is it possible they've threatened the US politicans?

Question

To not secure the U.S. borders - and to not do a complete background check on people walking across the U.S. borders - AND to not check for TB / numerous other dieseases - is possible the U.S. politicans or their families have been bought off and /or threatened by Mexican drug cartels.

Every country in the world (to the best of my knowledge) heavily protects their borders - however when the U.S. wishes to implement some simple safety procedures they are deemed as racist. I pity America in the coming few yrs if they continue electing pussified men.

Answer 1

could you imagine checking every single person walking in to the US if they had to check you for some kind of diseases it would take months for you to enter the US millions and millions of people enter the US everyday. and to check your background is not necessary if you have a warrant on you it will pop up on their computer and arrest you on the spot and yes definitely they could be bought but if its like that there allowing undocumented people and drugs to enter the US its tempting when they offer you 1000 a head and its 50 to 100 people crossing in one night do the math once or twice a week for a whole year that up in the millions

Answer 2

Oscar has pretty much summed it up for you guys. There's corruption in every government, some in low levels, some in high levels, some in every level and although the corruption may not affect you directly on a daily basis, it does affect the nation and the government at some point. And just because you don't see it on CNN or Yahoo News, doesn't mean it's not happening.

I think your concern with doing complete background checks and disease checks, especially on people "walking" or "crossing" the borders in front of a US Customs official, is the least of the worries. As it was said before, money talks. Have you ever thought maybe a minor part of the US Border Patrol is involved in how some of these drug cartels get their thousands and thousands of pounds of drugs across the borders? If not crossing them through Sonora/Arizona borders, or through the TJ borders, there's always the Gulf coast. High drug demand in the US calls for more overtime work from the cartels. People get paid, people get killed, the drug has to get passed somehow, no way around it. It then lands in our streets, kids pay for it, distributors get busted, cops confiscate and keep some while turning the rest in, it's hot news for the media, so they report on it... it's a win-win situation for everybody. Yes, US politicians are involved to a certain extent. Building a wall along the southern and northern border will not stop illegals or drugs from coming over; a clean organized government from both sides of the border will. The chances of finding that is like finding a perfectly healthy human body... it ain't happening... So people can keep on ranting about how we need to build walls and secure our borders... you don't cure a sickness by taking care of the exterior, you have to start from the inside and work your way out. You working with the exterior only cause your interior to spread and get worse. Maybe we as Americans should stop getting fooled by what the media shows and start focusing on the real problems. Politicians are merely out these for their own interest. Why do people keep voting for the same senators that have been in office for years and years, yet positive actions don't take place. The country isn't just ran by the president, come on, we all know that. Everything needs a fresh start, including the US government...

Corruption is a part of humane nature. The bad one. But it is not exclusive of one country.

How do you think the drugs reach Chicago, New York, D.C., Dallas, L.A, Miami?
Do you think all of this drug reach these cities because of the mexican cartels.?
Who owns the money? Just Mexican cartels?
I don´t think so. I think that the real power behind de scene is in a very high level. The real lords of the drugs are even not recognized as that.

Why your streets are so plenty of drugs? Don't make me laugh saying taht it is because of a mexican cartel. Who protects them in your cities?

How the many tons of cocain reach cities like Kansas, San Luis, Atlanta? What is happening in your highways or in your airports, or what is not happening there, just to fill your cities with such an amount of drugs?

Open your eyes, you always have thought there is a fight between the good guys, (the angels of justice) versus the bad guys (the demons), and always you have thought you are the good ones, and the rest of the world, or are the bad ones, or are the victims to need you to get free. LOL.

No, you have a very big trouble of corruption too. Just as almost all the countries of the world. Probably not in the street with the cops watching you driving your cars, but in higher levels, be sure you are plenty of corruption.

Even your democratic system is now more questioned than mexican. Many people in the world are so intrigued about the outcome of your last presidential election. It was so cloudy.

USA sent its soldiers to Irak, to fight with wind mills, a war to "free" a people who never asked for it.
Mexico occupies its soldiers in a war against drug cartels, and many soldiers have been killed.
How many of yours have been shooted down in the war you need to run against the drug cartels in your country?
Two months ago, mexican government, strike a blow to the cartels, confiscating USD 205 millions. How many times have you read this from your FBI or DEA?

Answer 4

There's corruption in every government. It will be easier to check once everyone has passports. If the border checks have scanners, it will help.
I passed through that Champlain, NY border a few weeks ago. I gotta tell you, the agent grilled me about everyone in the car, including me and what we were doing in Canada, for how long, my job, etc. He looked in the front and back seats and in the trunk. The TB guy who crossed sure didn't get the same agent that we did!
A few years ago, there were dogs on that border crossing, checking the cars while we were waiting to cross. We were then grilled by an agent, we entered New York then a few miles into New York, border patrol was there also, stopping everyone and checking!
We had a much easier time crossing into Canada. The lines moved very quickly, and the agent asked us a couple of questions. My children said while we were waiting for our turn, "no one cares", referring to Canadian Border Patrol.

Answer 5

If you believe American politicians are clean, please give me your name and address... I have a beautiful metal tower in Paris I can sell to you at a bargain price.

Drugs may pass through Mexico but they are sold in the US, so they also pass through US territory (without much difficulty) to every city and town. Money is handled in the US, and the US economy is the only economy in the world big enough to launder all the dirty money.

My biggest concern is that you never see any big fish caught in the US. Drug cartels seem to work on the US side pretty much unmolested. To make things worse, the weapons that cause so much violence in Mexico all come from the US. So drug traffickers in the US are as well armed if not better armed than their colleagues in Mexico. If they do not use their weapons, that is because they do not have to... nobody bothers them!

Answer 6

Well, then; it's time to elect a rarin' to go ***** like me - 'cus I would send our special forces down there to clean it up and then put ultra sound on the ground and floodlights out at night. That fence would be up in two months and I would use our own military to do it since they are already budgeted for national defense and then we won't have to pay extra for civilians to do it who always charge three times as much as it costs to have our enlisted build their own stuff. I would pull our boys back over here and I would also do the same border strengthening on the Canadian front. I would do what I could to lower the interest rates since the only people who thrive with growing interest are the banks. I would make everybody pay the same percentage of tax in proportion to the amount they earn and I would cart illegal people across the border immediately based on laws which are already on the books and not being enforced. People who are cocky enough to brag about being illegal go first and are red-flagged never to return. SAME RULES FOR EVERYBODY.

Answer 7

It's possible... but more likely that politicians are acting in their own selfish "best interest". They think they need to support illegals to get the "latino" vote.

There's also a larger agenda... that of eliminating nations altogether so the rich MFs can lower our wages to the same level as the Mexicans.

That's why a return to Constitutional values is critical in the coming election. (Hint: Ron Paul)

Answer 8

sometime, somebody will commence a shoot-out between U.S. border guards or U.S. protection rigidity against the Mexican government, and the international will likely blame the U.S. for inciting violence.

Answer 9

Bought off is more like it. There has to be something in it for them, or they would be fighting it harder than they are.

Answer 10

i think they are bought and paid for not scared just fricking greedy selfserving dogs!
