As Mexico's Economy Takes Further Hits, Recent Events Predict Chaos if Mexico Suffers Large-Scale Emergency

A few weeks ago, our government released a report predicting the Mexican government as likely to fall due to political, social, and economical conditions. Over the last few weeks, we have watched dignitary after dignitary from the United States including Obama has visited Mexico in hopes to stabilize the Mexican government. The blame of Mexican violence fell on American gun manufacturers and gun stores, which our government blamed most of Mexico’s violence on. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Now Mexico faces even more stress as the tourism business they depend on dries up and many restaurants and other businesses are forced to shut down. This can’t be good for their economy, and one would think may even ignite more violence in Mexico as the push to run drugs from Mexico increases as police focus on the pandemic.

Can Mexico survive a vast outbreak of the swine flu, or any other catastrophe, if it’s more serious than some scientists are saying? An ailing economy mixed with the poisoning elements mentioned above could place Mexico in critical condition. This leads me to ask two things. How many American dollars will be pumped into Mexico in hopes of maintaining order and stimulate the economic condition, and will there be a cost to American gun owners since our government is using Mexico to justify gun control? Remember Obama plans to agree to the Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials. Remember this bill go as far as making reloading your brass illegal.

My concern is if Mexico falls and violence breaks out for medicine and food, how will the Obama administration react, especially considering the facts presented above. Will he try to push gun control in the United States citing that American guns cause the violence in Mexico? Fortunately, news out of Mexico suggests the cases of swine flu have began to level off. None-the-less, this situation reminds us how fragile our southern neighbor is. If this ever got as bad as Joe Biden suggested it may be, I’d say we would have a serious problem on our hands much more serious than swine flu.

Now more than ever seems like a good reason to close our borders. Too much is on the line, and the loss of the Second Amendment over chaos in Mexico would be unjust—but it might just happen.
