Convention media coverage will be overshadowed by the total collapse of the
Mexican Army and Police forces fleeing across the southwestern borders in mid to late Aug.

IMO, It will be like our last day in Saigon. What/Where are we going to put them or do with them?

6. Thank you, CK_John.
The drug business in that area is robust and not only left to Mexican Mafia types. Our own CIA and DEA have hands in, too. We could have saved a lot of $ on our wall building by simply noticing that the drug runners and associated types are creating a no-man's-land that sane people don't want to venture into.

2. Are you kidding?
Its more like our economy will be collapsed and Mexico will have to deal with a sudden influx of Americans looking for work.

3. now that would be funny, imagine
a hundred thousand americanos (gringos, if you would) fleeing across the border to find work as upolsterers and headliner repair people in Juarez and Tiajuana.

Sometimes, I just crack myself up.:bounce:

4. No, we'd got to find work as accountants and general managers...
You know, the jobs the mexicans don't want to do?

7. I would not call bullshit on this one so fast. The problems they have
in Mexico are so under-reported it's going to be the WTF moment that will have the MSM in a panic as to wondering where that came from.

I have some Mexican friends, one I talk to every week. He said his family still down there is saying the country is on the verge of collapse. The violence is insane, and the government is run by the drug lords. He said it is going to get very ugly down there, and the border states will bear the brunt of the mayhem.
