Are Mexican Drug Cartels Operating in Atlanta?

It was disturbing to hear Rusty Payne, a DEA spokesperson talking recently about the likelihood of Mexican Drug cartels in Atlanta, Georgia.

Mr. Payne stated that Atlanta is the perfect hub for this type of organized crime as it gives easy access to the whole East Coast and a straight shot up 95 to New York City. If anybody should know about drugs, it must be the Drug Enforcement Agency.

More and more people are beginning to realize the danger coming from our Southern Border. Yesterday, the State Department issued warnings regarding travel to Mexico especially for holiday makers.

I am sure there are thousands of worried parents all across the country right now as they wait for their children to arrive home safe from Spring break. Mexico is a very popular destination for these college students.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to talk to your children about the dangers lurking beneath the surface in Mexico and suggest safer destinations right here in the U.S.

The Mexican Government will not want to hear that, but the economy here will be grateful for all the help it can get.
