More Mexican imports

JR has a post up on yet another thing illegal aliens are bringing with them; kidnapping for ransom.

Certainly the whole kidnap/ransom thing isn't specific to Mexico, but this particular type is. Most kidnappings in America target wealthy individuals who will be able to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the safe return of family members, Mexican kidnappers do things differently. Instead of targeting wealthy or powerful targets, they just pick up whomever they can, wherever they can, and quickly demand a few thousand dollars from the family members of the victim. This is called "express kidnappings" and seem like they're working their way north of the border.

If we keep letting our politicians do or not do as they please, and fail to let our voices be heard, we may be explaining to our children how we used to be able to drive to the market for a gallon of milk without fear of being randomly picked up to be ransomed, and tortured or killed.
