Be thankful for two things: These women fought for your right to vote, and you don't have to dress like this.

First of all, gold-plated guns, seriously? I also love how on the gold they have a patron saint for lost causes. San Judas Tadeo is not doing his job. That really just goes to show how ridiculous people can get when they have vast amounts of power and money, they can use it for useless things.
Wherein most cases the United States has put their noses into other countries businesses unnecessarily, I believe that in accordance with this issue, the United States should actually try do something useful. The United States is bordering the area in which these crimes are being committed and where these cartels are most prominent. However, at the moment it seems as though the United States is merely promoting such violent actions with the construction of the border fence, as opposed to deterring criminal activities involving drugs. The United States can use the work with the border fence to monitor the Mexican side of the border. The United States should try to assist the Mexican government in order to create a system where the United States can help to deter such crimes with all of the technology and patrol currently across the border. In doing so, this will not only actually allow the border fence to serve its purpose, but it will also hopefully prevent much crime that currently dominates the Mexican border.
I forget to mention in class that according to a list made by Forbes Magazine one of the richest men in the world was a drug cartel leader. Authorities aren't sure of how much money the man has but estimate it to be more than $1 billion dollars. I also watched a video of a meeting a U.S. Senate Subcommittee had on what was happening in Mexico. They had two witnesses come from Juarez to explain what was happening in that area of Mexico. I just flipped through the pictures of the investigation of various drug murders and saw a picture of Joaquin Loera the man featured in Forbes magazine. Through the video I watched I learned that the most of the illegal drugs the U.S. gets are from Mexico. I also learned that most of the weapons the Mexican cartels have are from the United States. In the meeting the subcommittee was discussing that the U.S. has to work to stop that trade off from happening. The reason that the drug cartels have gotten so powerful are because of the weapons they're now carrying. In order to help fix the problem in Mexico the U.S. has to find a way to stop the cartels from getting dangerous weapons.
