You guys do know that the cartels have RPG's and shit, right?

Machine guns, whoop-dee fucking doo.

I agree that it sucks. It sucks that the responsibility for protecting the nation against foreign invaders* has fallen to the states, since the federal government refuses to lift a finger.

I am not, however, convinced that the use of tanks, RPG's, or even Mexican ingenuity will do anything but cause the state of Texas to respond in kind. We have Mexicans too. Almost as many as Mexico.




* Before anyone's panties get wadded, I'm referring to Mexican drug cartels and gangs, many of whom buy support from the Mexican army. We have had Mexican troops on US soil on too many occasions to count now, aiming and shooting weapons at federal agents and other US citizens.
