Mexico is a pretty significant trading partner. That would be pretty destructive economically, and pretty damn ineffective considering it would likely cost billions. Also JDAMs are expensive.

Do you remember that time that thing happened?
This is a bad thread and you should all feel bad
Yeah, closing off the border would result in fewer authentic burritos and more knockoffs.
Think of the burritos Frazz.

Unfortunately things like this happen quite often in Mexico, it's nothing new... Probably we just don't hear about it often. There are parts of Mexico that are very dangerous, even for the Mexicans themselves. On the flip side there are quite a few expatriots from the US living in Mexico because it's cheaper to live there. Mexico is a very corrupt country for sure. Whenever I travel there I make sure to travel with fellow Mexicans, especially in the bigger cities like Mexico City. I don't think anything is going to change anytime soon except for the constant increase in illegal aliens crossing the border.

It's why I got laid off my job. Most of our customers pulled their contracts and sent them to the companies division in Mexico for that reason.
Funny really because we had to fix some of their feth ups. The work they did was so shoddy makes me wonder how it ever passed the QC people they were being built for.

With all of the MS 13 packs popping up in American cities, it will not be long before we're at war in our own neighborhoods. Then all this talk of civilian casualties will be turned on its head. You know what we need to do? Arm all of the WWE wrestlers and make them our commanders/mascots in the military. Recruiting and morale would be at an all-time-high. And make Chuck Norris the new Secretary of Defense.

Would you be refering to NAFTA? because even though that is still going the clinton administration did a damn fine job screwing it out for the next few decades.
Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

I can picture it now. The two armies facing off across the battle field. The sound of mariachi music rising gently with the afternoon sun. Triple X and John Cena look towards the enemy lines and lock eyes eyes with a dozen enemy commanders wearing bright neon full face Luchador masks... "Today is a good day to die."

How could a place with the best kinda food in the world be such a bad place to live? can't they just eat their burritos and be happy? I know i'd be happy if I could have burritos every day. And enchiladas too.. chicken & cheese with mole on top!

The fires of discontent began stewing back in '94 during the great toilet paper drought. Since then there has been an outward explosion of fiery hot anger. And it seems that no matter how much chile relleno, and chorizo y papas are consumned, the hot buttery flow of revolution is unstopable. Add into that the high taxation of pepto bismol, and low fiber intake, and Mexico's greatest asset (the food) becomes the lynchpin of it's social unrest.
I'm only qouting from wikipedia though, so I may be mistaken.

I like the Mexican Special Forces units that are being hired out by the cartels to ensure the bangers (MS 13, Mafia) don’t screw things up. We actually have armed foreign military operatives within our borders yet do nothing. Only a matter of time before it blows up in our face. Iran and Russia are arming most of the Cartels via other clandestine operations. The Revolutionary Guard now operating in Venezuela and other surrounding nations it is only a matter of time before South America is totally radicalized and smuggling a cheap form of heroin from the middle-east. I know this is the boogie man scenario but it really is not looking good in the southern part of our hemisphere.

And for a greater kick in the teeth to US workers the company that fired them probably got a tax break to move to mexico. although the great wall of mexico is well on its way as a border guard, the best way would be to increase military presence on the border and start taking down the drug roots, street dealers all the way up, cos if you just take out the heads of cartels, there would be bloody power struggles killing lots of civilians,
The main problem with a war on drugs is that as soon as you take a group down a smaller local group or a large foreign group will soon assert its dominance if you had a war on mexican drug lords you would then have to tighten and protect its southern borders from the like of colombian drug lords.
