Is 'Sanction City-State Worth It?

DATE: 07/17/2008 12:00:50

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- July 15

Fred Burton, Stratfor: Street violence in Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, New York City or Washington, D.C., is directly attributable to the violence that's taking place in Mexico, meaning the cartels are working with criminal gangs inside the United States, and they're carrying out these violent murders and crimes on the streets of America. [...]
Dobbs: Incredible, and yet this administration continues to resist efforts to maintain the National Guard on the border, to actually secure this border instead of play statistics games with the number of border patrol agents in place, that sort of thing. I mean, this is getting very, very dangerous.
Wian: All of these problems could be easily solved by simply securing the border, Lou, and the administration has not done that.
Dobbs: And that does not even take into account the millions of young lives devastated, and in some cases, destroyed by the illegal drugs methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and heroin, the principal source of which into this country is still Mexico.
Transcript

The violence in our street is just a beginning of what we are to see in the future. Sanction cities and states will be harder hit then other because of the " look the other way" policies. We all laugh now at the thought that Gov. B wants to put National Guard on our streets, but the day may come when it is necessary.
