The Violence on the Borders
For years the United States border patrol have interdict drug smugglers and other
Criminals along United States borders. Drugs and violence have been a big problem in Mexico.
Mexico is a major producer of heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and also cocaine. They are
a big suppler of the United States.
Border patrol have tried to block them crossing the borders but they cant block them all.
(The Department of States 2009 International Narcotics Control Strategy Reports) that ninety
percent of cocaine entering into the United States comes from Mexico.
The gang activity in Mexico reach well beyond the towns and cities along the borders.
The United States border patrol have seen its budget and manpower more than triple from back
years ago. They also have to look for illegal immigration trying to cross the borders and focus on
preventing terrorist and weapons of mass destruction from making their way into the United
states.
Drug smugglers are looking everyday to find ways to move their drugs through border
check points. There are a lot of accidents of high speed chases that end up in fatalities. They will
try anything to get across the borders and elude law enforcement not thinking of their
consequences. Drug cartels are taking over our streets and selling drugs and they are putting our
children in danger. Danger of addictions and violence putting our children in harms way.
Children in Mexico sell drugs to survive the streets. A lot of children there are homeless and turn
to crime to support their familys.

Drug cartels are fighting a war against Mexican law enforcement over power of
Mexico. It has turned into bloody ground. Mexican cartels dont just hurt Mexico, they hurt the
United States , Canada, Europe and Africa. When the drug cartel bring drugs to our country,
more and more people become addicted. Cartels are the suppliers of drugs to gangs in and out of
prison. If our government doesnt want crime in the streets, then stop the cartels. Horrifying
things have happened to people who have stood in their way murder, slaughters, and torture are
mainly it. Im against the murdering of innocent people. The cartels kill people to prove that they
have all the power and that they are unstoppable. The Mexican citizens live in fear along with
the police. This drug war affects other countrys. News reports say that drug trafficking has
become bigger than ever.
The United States border patrol also use aircraft, watercraft and many technologies to
defend the border. Since 2006 “quote” twenty-three thousand people have been killed
because of drug cartel violence in Mexico. About ten percent of them were police
officers. Mexicos crime and violence have impacted the United States dramatically.
The guns in Mexico are also a problem. Mexico is the United States main supplier of
cocaine, were the United States are the main supplier of the guns that are in Mexico. Mexico
drug cartel members use these guns to commit violent crimes. A lot of murders have happen to
high authority people from drug cartel. The crime rate is extremely high and it seems like they
cant be stopped. Mexico was once a place for vacationers to go and see the sights and to learn
their culture. But with the crime rate and the violence It wouldnt be safe to go there. In my
opinion Mexico has become uncivilized just like Iraq. I wouldnt doubt it if we have to send our
troops down there.
Terrorist activity is a problem in the United States today. A lot of deaths

occur in the United States from terrorist attacks. The largest attack was in the United States was
on the twin towers in New York city. That was a tragic, that many people wont forget. I wasnt
there that day but seeing it on television it was so horrible, rescue workers trying to dig people
