Watching this all unfold on Twitter does really bring out the maddening duality of the platform. This afternoon, I'm seeing "trending topics" of militia /moussavi khamenei / supreme leader investigation allegations fraud / march cancelled danger / mousavi rally rounds...

strangefriend commented on Transborder Immigrant Tool helps Mexicans cross over safely
The reason most mojados are here is that NAFTA let US Agribusinesses flood Mexico with real cheap corn. The campesinos couldn't compete, & so went north to survive. So groups like the Minute Men & US Border Watch should be picketing the offices of Archer Midland & Cargill. Though, if you have noticed, undocumented immigration has dropped since the Lesser Depression started. Lots of immigrant jobs were in the construction industry, & the markets have collapsed. Many immigrants have gone home. Arrests for border crossings have dropped. Two more points. What is it with the posters who fantasize about a...

[CITATION NEEDED] The lack of a co-ordinated US strategy to combat the flow of illegal weapons into Mexico has fuelled drug violence there, a US government watchdog says. The Government Accountability Office (GAO), in a report published on Thursday, says key US agencies have failed to work together. Authorities in Mexico, which has seen a jump in drug-related murders, have long urged the US to tackle arms-smuggling. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8106816.stm...

Actually, weapons streaming from the US into Mexico are arming the drug lords. The US is responsible for the crime wave in Mexico, not the other way around. #71 - you fool. Do your own research. Mexico's government specifically bans the sale of many types of guns (primarily high-powered weapons and anything automatic). These types of guns are freely availble in the US. It is common knowledge that Mexican cartels go to gun shows and buy HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS of firearms that are banned in Mexico. Drugs enter the US via Mexico, guns & money go out. If you don't know the...

"Assuming all illegal mexican immigrants are peace-loving feel good people who only want to work is as bad as assuming they are all here to cause trouble." ==== "Actually, weapons streaming from the US into Mexico are arming the drug lords. The US is responsible for the crime wave in Mexico, not the other way around." The presence of US weaponry certainly doesn't help, but it's probably not the root cause We have American guns sneaking north into Canada too; smuggled American guns are used in something like 80% of Toronto's gun crimes, if I remember the figure thrown around...
dainel commented on Transborder Immigrant Tool helps Mexicans cross over safely
The real problem is Americans do not have ID for their own citizens. The solution is to chip everyone in the country, and then install millions of readers at every road junction throughout the country. You could not walk 10 paces before being identified as not possessing a valid chip. Illegal immigrants would not have those chips. Legal immigrants will have chips, which will allow them to only travel between their registered residence and workplace. The moment the step outside the approved corridors, the INS will swoop in and arrest them. First offense, a fine. Third offense, gets you booted...
