Something Wicked This Way Comes

Maybe I am just a hate monger, but has anyone else noticed the escalation of violence coming from the direction of our southern border? Believe me, it isn't just the right wing nuts trying to stir up hostility toward the Hispanic population in this country. The destabilization of Mexico due to corruption and the drug trade is spilling into this country and making things very dangerous. If you think that people who want a secure border just hate Hispanics, you are sadly mistaken. It is no wonder they want out of Mexico, it is so corrupt it is almost unlivable. And now, due to our unwillingness to secure our border, this horrible corruption and violence is seeping into our country.
