I can't remember where I first saw it, but since the US has established the precedent of sending SpecOps teams into foreign countries for assinations when will Mexico send one against Holder and Melson?

For Sdv1959:
The Mexican SpecOps teams are likely to THANK Holder and Melson. Those teams are part of the drug cartels who got the guns those two let walk...

I'd be amazed if they are not in-place or waiting & watching. Yard service trucks with Mexican nationals aboard are ubiquitous and thus perfect daytime cover.

Americans are much more restrained than the people who we have effectively declared war on by supplying their insurgent/narco revolution with weapons. They have Hezbola to coordinate with, as well. I wish Mr. Holder the best of luck avoiding his landscaping service after he fails to be convicted of something serious (conspiracy to murder Mexican Citizens? Treason against the American people?) .

Cheers.

"U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) purposefully allows firearms across the border into Mexico".

Odd. Are not our Customs and Border Patrol responsible for restricting movement of persons and goods South to North at the Mexico/U.S. border to comply with U.S. law, and Mexico responsible for restricting the North to South movement according to Mexican law? Is that not the function of a sovereign nation?
