Conflation permeates this whole post,
both the news article
and the racist puz that published it.
Firstly, look at what is ****trayed as the motivation for the
attack on the rancher; retaliation for

This is not properly categorised as "organised crime", and should
instead categorised as political violence. As such, this is
almost zerop probability of it being im****ted into America on the
backs of immigrants. The Calderon government is attempting to
justify it own politically motivated exercise of force upon
"organised crime" predicates as justification.
The effects of Mexican organised crime that America experiences is
directly caused by the war on drugs. The domestic demand for
drugs remains, even after the increased criminal liabilities have
forced out all but the most violent of suppliers. The potential
for extreme profitability because of this market distortion by the
US government furthers criminal organisations growth and increased
infiltration into American Society. The tremendous profits
derived from the business in turn funds better arms and more
effective organisational frameworks. Decriminalisation of all
drug related offenses would be a near fatal blow to Mexican-based
organised crime that operates within America.
This racist's proposed solution will only lead to an escalation of
violence on the part of suppliers attempting to exploit the market
distortions, as well as an increase in domestic crime from users
of drugs now faced with an even higher inflationary price caused
directly by the governmental prohibitions on the market.
It is an egregious falshood to blame on immigrants
for the negative effects from the US war on drugs.
