2 U.S. Citizens Killed In Mexico

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico (CNN) -- Two U.S. citizens -- a mother and her son --- have been killed in the violence-plagued Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, authorities said.

Rosa Williams, 35, and her son, Pablo Noe, 19, were among four people who were killed by assailants armed with an AK-47 rifle and 9 mm pistol who opened fire on a blue 2004 Dodge Durango SUV in which they were riding, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

Those don't sound like US citizens to me. Must be some of Rick Perry's friends.

"...Investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting..."
Gee... I wonder if it was drug-related?
Pay attention America: This is just a dress rehearsal of what will soon be commonplace on our soil in a very short time, unless our government gets control.
So simple:
1. Bring the troops home from the Middle East - put them on the borders.
2. Drastically increase the penalty for drug-running - and even possesion.
3. Build what would amount to a huge "prison city" somewhere in the middle of nowhere (Wyoming - Dakotas - etc.), and let them do hard time.
You'll have security on the borders; the bad guys off the streets; the threat of spending 20 years of your life in a cage. You'll have construction jobs for the prison, and many more jobs once it's open.
Do that - or legalize the damn stuff and tax it like cigarettes, booze, and gas.
Where am I wrong here???

4:21....Start with the Posse Comititus (I think I spelled that incorrectly) Act. Then move on to the Law of Supply and Demand. Middle Eastern countries EXECUTE drug dealers and they STILL can't stop them. You have a stiffer penalty than DEATH? After those two, read the about something we already tried -- Prohibition. THAT made the Kennedys some of the most powerful and, even today, most admired (!?) people in the nation. It didn't stop, or even slow down, the consumption of liquor. It DID get a lot of people murdered (see any similarities yet??). I think the closest you came to being right was "legalize and tax it". that dosen't go over well with the church crowd who have alcoholic husbands and wives hooked on two packs a day and are themselves taking a couple of prescription drugs each day (to, you know, make them FEEL better) but hypocrites don't get much credence anyway.

I'm not a user, but I strongly agree to legalization.
I'd be interested to see the stats on gang-related - drug-related - violence that takes place in Amsterdam, where weed is legal.
Amazing that America doesn't remember the lesson of Prohibiton...
