It's definitely a problem that no president in recent history has addressed.There's a thread in another subforum here that discusses whether or not America is culturally a Third World nation, and, at least when it comes to violent crime, we somewhat are. Mexico is rapidly deteriorating, and it's been exporting its problems here for years now. Over time, the line between us and Mexico will become indistinguishable both culturally and with regard to crime. In terms of quality of life, the line is being pushed northward. To truly escape the dangers of Mexico, you have to live outside of border states or at least in the more northern, rural areas of them. It's no surprise that Phoenix now has the world's 2nd highest kidnapping rate (the highest being Mexico City).
