This is rich. Mexico is blaming the United States for the flow of illegal guns into Mexico. Shocked that you can buy guns in *gasp* Wal-Mart, Mexican officials are blaming porous U.S. borders as one reason guns are easily smuggled into the country.
Javier Ortiz Campos of the Federal Preventive Police says traces by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on weapons confiscated in Mexico often lead to the gun shops, gun shows and flea markets of Texas. The U.S. state has some of the most liberal gun laws in the country and a porous, 1,240-mile-long border with Mexico.Perhaps a huge fence would help. Or maybe Mexico could help patrol their border with the United States to catch people as the cross back and forth.
Then there's this wonderful display of gun control futility:
There are fewer than 2,500 registered gun owners in the entire country. By contrast, Mexican police confiscate an average of 256 weapons per day from suspects, officials from the Attorney General�s Office said recently.Gee, with numbers like that you might think that bans don't work.

We should set up a simple trade. We'll stop the gun trafficing as soon as they stop the illegal immigrants.
That wall idea sounds good to me. Now they have an interest to help secure their border.
But I'm certain that the illegal immigrants are the US' fault as well.

Posted by: markm at January 13, 2006 8:12 AMAn old saying about fences and good neighbors seems to come to mind.
It's good to know that they are willing to help with the fence, though. Hell, they can even provide a lot of labor for the actual construction! How much more neighborly could they possibly get?

Posted by: sandpiper at January 13, 2006 10:46 AMI love sandpiper's idea. It sure got a lot of chuckles from the liberals when Castro did the same thing.
Give 'em $200 and a years supply of Tums.
All becuase we have a second amendment that gives us the right to keep and bare arms them fools in mexico and canada blame us for the crime rate and they still dont punish the crinimals very much
