It's Friday, March 27th, and I am preparing spicy huevos (eggs) with salsa and chilies for breakfast. All I need is some butter, eggs, chilies, salsa and some salt. The eggs are almost perfectly cooked and as I wait for the salsa to heat up, I am reminded of the powerful and dangerous drug cartels that have a grip on Mexico as well as the United States. Suddenly...POP... I am no longer in the mood for spicy huevos and I am filled instead with fear and apprehension.





It has been reported over and over again that there are Mexican drug cartels operating in over 200 U.S. cities. Although there clearly have been attempts to break up these cartels, one has to wonder if enough is being done. The rise in population of Hispanic communities throughout the country has made it possible for cartel operatives to hide in plain sight by blending in with honest hard-working citizens.





Before the violence that threatens Mexico's existence spills over into our cities, the Obama administration must take steps to secure our borders and rid our cities of this dangerous criminal element. Clearly, this is a matter for Homeland Security and it must be dealt with swiftly and decisively.





I guess I won't be preparing Mexican food for a while. I just don't have a taste for it right now.
