Forget the Middle East - This is the True Threat:

The 'War on Terror' is closer than You Think. 

Mexico has been a rising star in the crime world, and it seems that we refuse to address it.  

The Mexican street-gangs accept all ages

The country that was once proud and growing, is now a country of drug trafficking and violence.

Mexico has some of the most strict gun laws in the world, yet Juarez, Mexico is the violence capitol of the world. Wyoming has some of the least-restrictive gun laws in the world, with almost no violence in the state. In Mexico, it's very easy to get a gun and people have no choice but to join a gang due to the lack of opportunity and jobs in Mexico. It's the lack of opportunity and jobs that leads to a life of crime.

Instead of giving foreign aid to developed, civilized countries that have the ability to support themselves, we should be giving aid to the Mexican Federal Police to fight the drug cartels and stop the drug trafficking into the U.S., considering the U.S. has the worst cocaine, heroin, and meth problem in our history.

We should get drones out of Pakistan...

 ...and put them on the U.S.-Mexico border where gangs are killing Americans and terrorists can easily cross into the U.S., instead of using them to kill innocent (as-in "innocent until proven guilty") people without trial, as the President sees fit.

Maybe, we should be worrying about our country's problems on the home front as much as we worry about the War on Terror thousands of miles away, instead of ignoring it.  The War on Terror is closer than you think.  It’s right under our noses, but we look right passed it.  The threat isn't just terrorists and drug cartels.  The real threat is politicians that have been fueling the nation's threats.  Secret programs such as Fast and Furious – created by your President, Barack Obama, and the machine – are that.

"Why does everyone always pick on me?"

Think of this:  

Once illegal immigrants come over the border, what do they do?  They traffic guns and drugs, they illegally go on government assistance, and they illegally vote for politicians who will let more illegal immigrants do the same.  And what Party says they want undocumented immigration, less government assistance restrictions, and less guns for citizens to defend themselves against the guns they give to gangs?  Democrats: Obama and those who follow.

Isn't it strange how that works? 

Americans are killed in Mexico, along the Mexican border, and throughout the country where cartels push drugs and guns.  But politicians want no restrictions on immigration, and want more restrictions on Americans who defend themselves – just for one thing... 

...A vote.  I suggest a serious reality check for those who trust these people.

No, not these people.  

....so where's the 'War on Terror' exactly?
