For the sake of the resident genius, let me say this ( because he will not be able to see it himself): It is opinion not hard news.

Mexico’s War is Hell. It’s Next door. It’s Getting Worse. Why?

Our southern neighbor is now home to the second deadliest conflict zone in the world after Syria, according to a recent survey. Although there is some debate about the metrics used in that study, there’s no question that, as of now, the Mexican government is losing the fight against the cartels.
And there’s a good reason for it: The so-called “Kingpin Strategy” employed by military and police in their fight against the cartels has proven itself almost as effective as holding a pocket magnifier over a termite den under a hot sun. You might focus on and fry a few that way, to be sure, but the rest will go right on happily devouring your house.

“Hell on Earth”
The fight over plazas—or individual zones dominated by a certain cartel—involves much higher stakes than just narcotics production or shipping routes. Syndicates within a given plaza often control most of the illicit activity that goes on in the territory, including extortion of business owners, prostitution, and even black market organ trafficking.

I read the article earlier today. And it is something I have followed for some time now. It is very discouraging and it is a REAL problem for the US unlike illegal immigration which is not.

It is recognizable as opinion because the author did not string together a series of blatantly demonstrable falsehoods and attempt to justify it by labelling it as "opinion". And when the author does offer opinions, he does not demand that the reader accept them as valid just because he said so; his opinions flow logically from a series of verifiable facts he presents to support them.

That is the difference between "opinion" and the meaningless drivel you grace this board with.
