Mexico has replaced all 700 of its customs inspectors with agents newly trained to detect contraband, from guns and drugs to TVs and other big-ticket appliances smuggled to avoid import duties.
The shake-up — part of a broader effort to root out corruption and improve vigilance at Mexican ports with new technology — doubled the size of Mexico’s customs inspection force.
The inspectors at all 49 of Mexico’s customs points were replaced with 1,400 better-educated agents who have undergone background checks and months of training, Tax Administration Service spokesman Pedro Canabal said Sunday.
Meanwhile, the US is in trillions in debt, 17% real unemployment, the dollar is going down, and Obama is sightseeing.
Drugs follow money. When the Dollar dies under Obama, the drugs will go elsewhere. The illegal aliens will stream back to Mexico. End of problem….
#21, Timuchin,
Any chance the religious nuts cakes will go with them?

Conservatives don’t even bother to get their talking point straight… they complain that Obama is a lazy (black) man _WHILE AT THE SAME TIME_ complaining that he is going too fast with his agenda!
