Leaky U.S.-Mexico Border A Danger to U.S.A. & Mexico

Drug cartels and a vicious assortment of criminal enterprise gangs pile up against the border fence between the United States and Mexico because of the lucrative opportunities for smuggling drugs, guns, weapons of mass destruction and human beings into the United States through the porous border.

As many as 10,000 Mexicans are killed annually in gang wars for control of the best positions for smuggling. Until the border is made really secure-perhaps with three berms for electric patrol vehicles and three deep, concrete lined ditches in between, the value of smuggling over the border and the deaths and corrupt effects upon business will continue.

It is believed that the essential cause for a failure to secure the border is the constituency of U.S. federal politicos as millionaires like the cheap illegal Mexican labor that makes its way north to undermine wage negotiations for the poor in the United States. They care little about the tragedy that the unsecured border causes in Mexico.

The leaky border presents a danger to U.S. and Mexican security, even the legal ports of entry are unsecured allowing in vast quantities of illegal drugs and possibly weapons of mass destruction.
