As to the election, we have a republican governor, he beat out an independent candidate who actually moved to china to run a business there and actively was involved in outsourcing jobs, while claiming to live here. That guy is not who we need hopefully the new governor vetos tax increases (our state is the highest tax burden per capita.)

we got the casino authorized finally, and its right near 2 cities with high unemployment so will offer jobs to those people.

Better yet, do what k9870 said whilst also using the SpecOps guys. That way the cartels are attacked on 2 fronts

Gotta find who you want, a cop whos family was killed by cartels wont join one, a soldier whos neighborhood is under a cartel's control will want to see it freed. There are good people out there, not everyone can be turned.

I find it a litle hard to trust Mexican soldiers mainly because there is a huge problem with them going AWOL and working for the cartels. Hell, the Zetas were formed when a Mexican special forces unit deserted in the 90's and joined the drug trade

Or people will start making the additives themselve, resulting in an explosion of Meth labs and drug related deaths. Or the cartels will get pissed and start killing/extorting people
Wow!...that is a lot of ignorance and misguided information for one paragraph.

One of my school's principals used to work for Houston PD narcotics division for around 5 years. I get alot my info from him, my cousin who works in the federal prison system, my uncles who used to be addicts (pot and pain pills) but have gotten clean, and my friend who lives in the North End of Beaumont, who has been around dealers all his life

How many people where killed by violence this year over transporting and selling alcohol?...Now, how many people where killed by violence over alcohol while it was illegal? And the majority of real pot smokers would curb stomp a dealer if they got weed laced with anything.
