More than just paying for healthcare, education and welfare for the flood of illegal immigrants, the US is now planning to pay for their gang problems on our border.

All this while Felipe Calderon lays the blame on the US and accusations of not doing enough for his poor that leave his failed economy to abuse ours.

Last I heard Mr Calderon, God helps those who help themselves.

Todays Washington post featured the following as shown on MSNBC.com:

“Like the increasing number of Mexicans heading over the border in fear, the violence itself is spilling into the United States, where a Border Patrol agent was recently killed while trying to stop suspected traffickers.

Drawing on firepower, savage intimidation and cash, the cartels have come to control key parts of the border, securing smuggling routes for 90 percent of the cocaine flowing into the United States, according to the State Department. At the same time, Mexican soldiers roam streets in armored personnel carriers, attack helicopters patrol the skies, and boats ply the coastal waters.

“The situation is deteriorating,” Victor Clark, a Tijuana human rights activist and drug expert, said in an interview. “Drug traffickers are waging a terror campaign. The security of the nation is at stake.”
