Another week and more violent news from Mexico:
"Gunmen killed 15 people at a car wash Wednesday in a Mexican Pacific coast state where drug-gang violence has risen this year.
It was the third massacre in Mexico in less than a week." (AZ)
We also learned this: Entire police force in Los Ramones, Mexico quits after gunmen attack headquarters
We learned this too: 4 killed as gunmen attack factory buses in Ciudad Juarez

It's obvious that the cartels are sending a message to everyone on the US-Mexico border.
The message is simple: We are deadly serious and we will kill you!
Of course, the US can not fix or get involved in every gang war in the world.
However, this is happening across the Texas border.
This is not Colombia a 1,000 miles away: This is Cd Juarez right across from El Paso, TX.
Sadly, the Obama administration has focused its energies in pandering to "hispanos" with the Arizona lawsuit and 'empty" speeches about his commitment to immigration reform.
The Obama administration has not increased border security or presented a plan to Congress to deal with the illegal immigrants or a "work permit" program to allow many to work here.
We continue to have "zero" leadership from Pres BO about the border despite the fact that Mexico is blowing up next to us.
How much longer before someone walks into the Oval Office and reminds Pres BO that all of this violence is happening south of Texas?
P.S. I agree with George H. Wittman:
"What further evidence does the Obama administration require to prove the need for a major commitment to border security -- and against human and narcotics trafficking?"
