Mexican Democracy Under Fire: Mob Rule Reigns in Halls of Mexican Government

Mexican democracy is in grave danger of being toppled.

Opposition members of the Mexican Congress physically took control of the floor of their chamber, preventing President Fox from delivering his final State of the State address. The protesting members are supporting leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's challenge of the July 2nd presidential election which he lost by a slim margin.

Huge street protests have been taking place, and though no one has said it openly, Mexico is headed toward a civil war. That's my opinion. Now is the time to reinforce our border with Mexico as Mexican problems need to stay south of the Rio Grande. We don't need their political problems to spill over our border.
