Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the Mexican Congress approved the creation of a 60,000 “National Guard” this year specifically to combat the country’s growing violence.

I’d love to go down there and mingle with the locals for a couple months, but it’s just not safe. (I’m sure the tourist places are safe, but that’s not what I want to do now)

There is no place in the U.S. I’d be afraid to walk. (in public) I’m confident we have police coverage everywhere and I think we generally have a very low rate of felony crime against random individuals. (just like walking down the street)

Mexico is not like the United States. There are a lot of places you should not go. You are very vulnerable to banditos.

U.S. murder rate is 5.35 per 100,000
Mexico murder rate is 19.26/100,000

Hey, going to Jamaica, mahn?

Bring a piece. Every year 47.01/100,000 murdered every year.


Nice piece.

Eve stop acting as if the hood scares you. You live in the most densely populated black communities in the country like a beast. And we never hear you say you want to move.

Jamaica, that's almost 1 in 2000 per year, would get murdered.

I dont live in the ghetto. Geez. But I have accidentally wound up there when looking for a gas station before. Its scary as hell.

Also, I havent told yall the story of why I no longer go to the minority bar. They started skimming my credit card. And then passive aggressively threatened me if go back there again.

No idea why. I got along with everybody for 5 years there. So I started going to my other bars more. Screw them.

I just thought of something.

What if Mexican President Obrador gets his 60,000 man “Security Force” and in 6 years - when his 6 year term as Mexican president is over (the Mexican constitution only allows for one 6 year term as president, NO REELECTION) - Obrador decides he still wants to be president.

And he’s got a personal 60,000 man army.

And in the name of “Law and Order” he decides it’s time to “update” the Mexican constitution. And he’s “reelected” president for life. (kind of like Putin)



I smell a potential Mexican dictatorship here in the 21st century. (is this how liberals think?)

At an average pace one could walk a half mile in about 20 minutes. Those that approach this wall looking to pass it will have already walked for weeks on end. Another 20 minutes is nothing.

A useless exercise of patting oneself on the back for accomplishing basically nothing. Why am I not surprised?

I think this is fantastic.
In fact, I spoke about this very type of initiative months ago.

I couldn't ask for better news than this.

We should totally build the wall with private funds without anyone being compelled to pay in.

We'll have a big, beautiful wall. And mexico us taxpayers tariffs wall supporters will pay for it!

As I said in my post 3 months ago:

I have no problem if my neighbor wants to build a fence around his property. If he asks me to help him pay for it, I'll laugh him into the next neighborhood.

I wholeheartedly support these people. As long as they are spending their own money, I couldn't care less how much they drop, or how this thing is constructed. Heck, I might even show up on the southern side to sell Mexicans some magic beans. Then, let's see how high that wall/fence/hedgerow gets.

There is an old saying...good fences make good neighbors. Private funding works for me.

But I still think they need to make the immigration process simpler/less expensive/time consuming.

If they come here LEGALLY they will be paying into the tax system and contributing to the country. Not working on the down low and contributing to nothing but crime.

I think it's an untruth, but I thought I heard on the radio yesterday that there are legal issues with the wall..... I believe they said that the property owners didn't get construction permits..

Again, I don't think it's true, but I do think it's funny

Many of them get fake SS cards and actually pay taxes.

But I certainly agree with your points. That's the problem with all of this. Building a wall isn't immigration reform. It's a talking point used to avoid actually addressing immigration reform.

they dont need fake SS numbers.

its called a ITIN, where any one not legally in the country can still have a number for tax purposes.

There are regulatory limits on them. Height, materials and such on private property, and this is private property. So once again the party of law and order, the GOP’rs and the white supremacists who support them are breaking the law.

Judge tosses House Dems' lawsuit over Trump's use of emergency military funds for border wall

By Gregg Re

Fox News



Washington, D.C., district court Judge Trevor McFadden threw out House Democrats' lawsuit seeking an injunction against President Trump's emergency border wall funding reallocation, saying that the matter is fundamentally a political dispute and that the politicians lack standing to make a legal case.

Trump had declared a national emergency this past February over the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, following Congress' failure to fund his border wall legislatively. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Democrats then filed suit in April, charging that Trump was "stealing from appropriated funds” by moving $6.7 billion from other projects toward border wall construction.

Democrats argued that the White House had "flouted the fundamental separation-of-powers principles and usurped for itself legislative power specifically vested by the Constitution in Congress."

But, in his ruling, McFadden, a Trump appointee, suggested Democrats were trying to circumvent the political process.


"This case presents a close question about the appropriate role of the Judiciary in resolving disputes between the other two branches of the Federal Government. To be clear, the court does not imply that Congress may never sue the Executive to protect its powers," McFadden wrote in his opinion. "The Court declines to take sides in this fight between the House and the President."

McFadden's ruling contrasted with U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam’s injunction last week, which blocked the administration from using the reallocated funds for projects in specific areas in Texas and Arizona. Gilliam had been appointed by then-President Barack Obama.

McFadden began by focusing on two guiding Supreme Court cases he called "lodestars"-- the 2015 case Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, and the 1997 case Raines v. Byrd.

"Read together, Raines and Arizona State Legislature create a spectrum of sorts," McFadden wrote. "On one end, individual legislators lack standing to allege a generalized harm to Congress’s Article I power. On the other end, both chambers of a state legislature do have standing to challenge a nullification of their legislative authority brought about through a referendum."

But, McFadden quickly distinguished the Arizona State Legislature case, which found institutional standing for legislators only in a limited instance. The Arizona case, the judge noted, "does not touch or concern the question whether Congress has standing to bring a suit against the President," and the Supreme Court has found there was "no federal analogue to Arizona’s initiative power."

Democrats' dispute was more similar to the one in the Raines case, McFadden wrote. Under the framework and factors considered in Raines -- including how similar matters have been handled historically, and the availability of other remedies besides litigation -- McFadden ruled that House Democrats lacked standing...

In most areas along the border they are so desperate for tax paying landowners that they don't regulate them at all. Hell, you can buy over 100 acres on the border right now for under 20k in Arizona. Just understand your buying land in a very high crime area due to the drugs and human trafficking that go over those lands on the border.

Even if you only build a 1 mile wall that makes them walk 20 minutes east or west then chances are they are not going to walk another 20 minutes back again to mess with your property and endanger your family. With thousands crossing the border illegally each day stopping even a portion of that from entering your property could easily save your life.

Well stacking the courts helped Trump on this one. Another judge with a sense of right and wrong would have allowed the suit.

Judges don't decide what is "right" or "wrong"...that's how it works in other countries run by nut-jobs. Here, judges rule on the law.

I can only imagine witch two menZas liked your post ...

Maybe all u know it all’s oughta get educated on what’s been going on at the border for at least a decade now before attempting to belittle others ... oh wait ... i forgot where the heck i was for a second ...

Your post was so wrong i just couldn’t help myself ... up to the shower with the special cess pool cleaning soap ... thumbsup
