Kidnapping People Americans Won’t

As Mexico’s drug war gets bloodier and bloodier (which just proves it’s working!), it’s spilling over our open border into our cities:

In what officials caution is now a dangerous and even deadly crime wave, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of America, with more incidents than any other city in the world outside of Mexico City and over 370 cases last year alone. But local authorities say Washington, DC is too obsessed with al Qaeda terrorists to care about what is happening in their own backyard right now.

“We’re in the eye of the storm,” Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson told ABC News of the violent crimes and ruthless tactics spurred by Mexico’s drug cartels that have expanded business across the border. “If it doesn’t stop here, if we’re not able to fix it here and get it turned around, it will go across the nation,” he said.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown warned that as the U.S. government focuses so intently on Islamic extremist groups, other types of terrorists  those involved with the same kidnappings, extortion and drug cartels that are sweeping Phoenix  are overlooked.

“Those [criminals], for the average Californian or the average America, may be a more immediate threat to their well being,” Brown said.

In fact, kidnappings and other crimes connected to the Mexican drug cartels are quickly spreading across the border, from Texas to California. The majority of the victims are either illegal aliens or connected to the drug trade.

An ABC News’ investigation uncovered horrific cases of chopped-off hands, legs and heads when a victim’s family doesn’t pay up fast enough.

“They’re ruthless, so now they’re ripping each other off, but doing it in our city,” Anderson said.

It’s only a matter of time until they start abducting our citizens.  I’ve noted that the immigration issue frustrates me because no one seems interested in making it easier to get in the country legally while making it more difficult to get in illegally.  But I’ve long supported border security for one simple reason—law and order is breaking down in our border towns.  This has to be stopped.  But I guess it won’t until the media finds some pretty blond girl has been abducted.
