More and More Border Violence

Albuquerque Journal has the benign headline about the "troubled border" - N.M. Welcomes Mexico Troop Boost.  Ticker-tape parade!   

The Mexican government's decision Thursday to flood its troubled northern border with soldiers and police was welcome news to New Mexico officials concerned that Mexican drug-gang violence will spill over onto New Mexico soil. ...

Flooding something to solve a spilling problem?   

The Mexican government is creating a Chihuahua Joint Operation along its border with New Mexico and Texas. It's sending sending more than 2,000 of its army soldiers, equipped with 180 vehicles and three aircraft, along with 425 federal police agents and 30 prosecutors.

Luna County Sheriff Raymond Cobos said he welcomes the help, but only if it is an extended effort with police willing to stand up to powerful narco-terrorist gangs. "You can't just send in people with machine guns for a few days and say it's better," Cobos said. "This is a despicable cancer that's infected the border and it has to be a long-term, legitimate effort."

In other words, it could get noisier down there for a few days years.
