Drug gang violence casts shadow over Mexico elections

I'm sad for the people of Mexico. They are the ones victimized by what is becoming a failed state on our border. It's easy to see why they want to escape what is becoming a hellhole. What is needed is a full fledged frontal attack on the cartels. If drug cartels do not fit the description of terrorists, then nothing does. But, it so much easier to blame America then face reality. Obama has gone from "yes, we can", to no we can't. We can't protect our borders, we can't enforce federal law or allow the states to enforce their own.
