I'm surprised they haven't done so sooner. As you and I and most of us know, guns in cartel hands were purchased in the U.S.

A politician in Mexico could campaign on "Build a Wall." To keep US guns out and have the U.S. pay for it.

A good idea. But as anyone who's ever been pulled over in Mexico knows, "La Mordida" (bribes) are common and expected in many cases.

Doesn't take muany $s for a Mexican border agent to look the other way, knowing to wave in particular vehicles without inspection.

I used to get pulled over - usually in Tijuana - most times I drove to Ensenada. They'd make up some BS violation and ask me questions like "what do you do for a living, senor?" and other questions to gauge how much they thought they could get from me. After the second time I had to wait at a police station for a jefe to get back from the bowling alley or strip club, a friend told me, "offer the cop a twenty and ask him if he'd kindly take the money to the station when he's off shift and pay your fine for you." Works like a charm! And they couldn't accuse me of bribery.
