A Rio Grande Valley man filed a short-lived on-line petition on the White House website asking the United States to "Invade Mexico" to end corruption and drug cartel violence.

Action 4 News spoke with the petition's creator, who only wished to be as "R.G." who said the petition was no joke. The Mission man said that he was born in San Juan but grew up near Mexico City.

R.G. said he and his family have personally felt the effects of the drug war, its violence and corruption. "What you see on the news here is nothing compared to what's really going on," R.G. said.

R.G. later said he is withdrawing the petition citing personal safety concerns for him and his family.
