This stuff definitely gets your attention. I don't like the notion of illegal immigrants bucking the system and consuming resources without contributing etc, but considering the deteriorating system down there, they could be considered refugees from the violence, at the least I have a bit more empathy for them. I wonder at what point it is in the best interests of the US to get militarily involved against the cartels to protect our borders and the stability of our region before having to deal with them on our soil.
