Mucho dinero
A reader sends along these photos, which he tells us (and he's always reliable) are "from a drug house raided by Mexico's special organized crime task force":
That ain't hay!

There is about $50M or so there..
And that $50M looks remarkably similar to the $50M that was stolen from my basement not too long ago by drug dealers.. I wonder if they will give it back if I can describe it?

Anyone can tell that's Paul Allen's bed. Now we know what his "sleep number" is!

"They are here only do do jobs Americans wont do, not sell drugs."
Yeah, 'cause NO drugs come in from Canada.

Getting called "stupid" by someone that can't take the time to type apostrophes or commas: priceless.

Who do you think is buying all the drugs, todd?
Who is employing the immigrants?
Why are you blaming Mexicans for an American problem?

You found Sam's stash for the next tram. This is all the water bills they've diverted.

Because the majority of the meth is coming from Mexico.
If you don't believe the DEA stats how about PBS:

Uh Pat the point was that drugs are a demand problem.
Posted by Eric | June 28, 2007 9:59 PM
Haah, That’s just the increase in profit from when Our Governor outsourced all the meth production to Mexico.

In the population study of a sample of 55,322 illegal aliens, researchers found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990

Arrested for....? Driving without a license? Murder? Kinda vague.
And I'm not sure how that relates to Americans buying drugs that come from Mexico.

Since the Mexican military has been compromised & has been observed escorting drugs near the US border, perhaps a bit of turnabout is in order.
Let a few of the SF gentlemen from the Amphib Warfare base at Coronado go for a nightnight stroll south of the border. A few duffle bags, a short helicopter ride & our border fence is paid for.
