What do you think of Hillary Clinton blaming the US for Mexico's drug wars?

The U.S. bears much of the blame for violent drug wars roiling Mexico because of its demand for drugs and its failure to stop illegal weapons from crossing the border, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday, accepting "shared responsibility" for the problem.

I say the ONLY problem that she can blame on the US is when the Boarder Patrol agents are doing their job, and they are the ones that were sent to jail.

The reason the border is worst is these agents DON'T want to shoot and kill a drug runner for fear they will be the ones ending up in prison.

Maybe Clinton should assure the ones that are Patrolling the border that they have permission to shoot and kill without having to worry about going to prison.

    So you think Border Patrol Agents should be judge, jury, and executioner?? That is SO SO far beyond the pay grade of these law enforcement officers I'm not sure where to begin.

    Firing live ammunition at ANYONE else should give you pause.... apparently it doesn't.... and that says something about you.

    Why even have a judicial system then?? We would no longer be "a country of laws, not a country of men." We would have to SCRAP the United States Constitution in order to put your plan into effect.

    How would border patrol agents differentiate between immigration violations and drug smuggling??

    You are in effect advocating the reconstruction of the Berlin Wall on the southern border of the United States of America.... right down to the barbed wire and the "shoot to kill" orders.

    NOT a good idea.

    She didnt blame it all on the USA, but we do play a part in it. Where do u think all the drugs are going? mostly the USA, why? because we have a high demand for drugs. We have alot of drug users, where many other countries dont. Its only fair to take some of the blame dont u think? Yes true our boarder patrol is not what it should be, but there are 1000's of miles and we cant patrol every square inch. If the USA stopped using drugs tomarrow the cartel would fall apart, its supply and demand.

    Most drug addicts are vulnerable victims of drug dealers. Most kids do not think they will become one of those that become addicted and they believe the lies of dealers. There are many thousands of adults that are addicts since they were kids when no one knew cocaine was a threat, the public was not informed in the 80's. Addiction is a proven mental illness and biochemical brain disease of varying levels taught to all medical establishment now. Place the blame on evil drug dealers and government, and make treatment of addicts mandatory not optional! When addicts get their minds back with the new treatment that stops addiction, GVG/cpp-109, then they will be glad they were forced to get well. Border should have been closed many years ago, it's a crime for our government to let drugs destroy our kids for so many years, and for what... big business of jails, courts and law enforcement?!

    It's very true. Without the demand to ingest illegal substances here, the Mexicans would have to find something else over which to kill each other.

    Until the drugs are either legalized or we grow up enough to avoid using them, the urge to kill and protect profits from the sale of illicit drugs will remain high.

    Clinton and her husband should be put in jail,shot and hung. Clinton the governor ad Arkansas allowed more drug trafficking than you can imagine. Clinton sold this country out to the Chinese and to Mexico and all the Mexicans are here taking American jobs. Next is the crash of the dollar,new currency AMERO AND THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION. check it out on yahoo or google.

    whoa, get your facts straight. The men who went to prison did not report that they shot at someone. No, we are a law abiding country. Mrs. Clinton has integrity & to suggest we should stop having it is your problem & I am thankful that we are law abiding people. I am proud that she is speaking the truth. We need more of that.

    this is what a good socialist does. the same applies to our military. the liberals detest our armed forces. why? it's our strength via military that, in her warped mind, forces other countries to strengthen their military simply to protect themselves from us. liberals believe that if we condense ours then other countries such as china and n. korea would do the same. let me ask you. do you ever hear a democrat say anything good about our country or military. rarely and only if they're running for re-election. what keeps them in power is the continued stupidity by those that cast their votes for these unamericans year after year.
