Heights2Bastrop Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 What is so scary about this situation is that many of these groups are little more than common thugs, and they are using weapons such as these! Do you think we should close off the border at Nuevo Laredo? Is there anything else we could do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I say we do close the borders. The government would be stupid to not do something with all this crap going on. They would be putting lives in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are actually deserters from an elite military unit. They were trained in the US for the Mexican government to fight the drug war. Do a web search for "mexican zetas" if you want more info.As far as closing the borders, I doubt it would be feasible considering the huge amounts of legitimate businesses that depend on those bridge crossings.

editor Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Obviously the Mexican government is working with a different definition of "elite" than the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
