Quote:MEXICO CITY – Gunmen assassinated the front-running candidate for governor of a Mexican border state Monday in what President Felipe Calderon called an attempt by drug gangs to sway local and state elections this weekend.
The assailants ambushed Rodolfo Torre's vehicle as he headed to a campaign event near Ciudad Victoria, capital of Tamaulipas, a state torn by a turf battle between two rival drug cartels. At least four other people traveling with him were killed.
"Today has proven that organized crime is a permanent threat and that we should close ranks to confront it and avoid more actions like the cowardly assassination that today has shaken the country," Calderon said in a televised speech. "We cannot and should not permit crime to impose its will or its perverse rules."

Let us not continue to try to take in Mexicans that Mexico can not support, let's instead work for a permanent solution to the failure of the government and put the drug lords out of business.
What we have been doing does not work for either the USA or Mexico, so let's do something different.
