Although the Obama Administration falsely keeps insisting -- naively so or for cynical political purposes -- that violence from the Mexican drug cartels has not spilled over the border, seventeen individuals with reputed past connections to drug trafficking and the Arellano Felix cartel have been indicted "in the murders of nine people in the San Diego area - including two victims whose bodies were dissolved in acid." * * * District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said "this rogue group of individuals is responsible for a string of brutal murders and kidnappings that demonstrate the ugly reality of cross-border violence."

“Although the Obama Administration falsely keeps insisting — naively so or for cynical political purposes — that violence from the Mexican drug cartels has not spilled over the border”

When Phoenix Ariz became 2nd for kidnapping in world - 300 last year - second only to Mexico, that theory was shot!

– Culiacan, Sinaloa – 08/12/09

A message with threats to President appears

A shiny green sign was left outside the offices of this newspaper.
Culiacan: In the early morning hours today, the afore-mentioned sign was left saying: “Mr. President, a question; if it took you a year to catch up with Dimas, do you think you have enough life left to catch all my people? We already have the order and we promise the people it will be fulfilled.” The sign was removed by military personnel at 8:20 a.m. and fifteen minutes later they returned and placed it where they found it.

El Diario de Juarez – Cd.Juarez, Chih. – 08/12/09

U.S. will continue to deport criminals through Juarez

At the sixth annual Border Security Conference, Jose Reyes Ferriz, the mayor of Cd. Juarez, said the U.S. should stop deporting criminals to Juarez or, at least advise their Mexican counterparts, to avoid having his city remain a concentration point for criminals.

He told the group of dozens of U.S. federal officials, among them Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Interior (sic) Security (DHS) that they had to stop the concentration of criminals in Juarez. Napolitano said that she would follow up on the mayor’s request, but that the deportations would continue.

Reyes Ferriz said that thus far in 2009, seven thousand subjects who had committed different criminal acts in the U.S. had been deported to Juarez. Among these were members of gangs like “Los Aztecas.” of whom there are nine thousand in Juarez; 2,000 in jail and 7,000 on the streets.

Five or six years ago there were only one thousand members of that gang in Juarez. Reyes Ferriz said that the Mexican Army, under his direction, has been involved in Joint Operation Chihuahua (OCCH), which has been successful in controlling some crime. He said that the military are under his command and the commanders act as his advisors, which means that security is in the hands of civilians in spite of the military participation.

Reyes Ferriz stressed that cooperation of the leaders on both sides of the border is necessary.

He said that the relatively small anticipated growth along the border in the past twenty years did not take place. The infrastructure was not ready for the “boom” caused by the maquiladora (assembly plants, etc.) industry, which attracted entire families from the interior in search of the higher paying jobs.

Investments were made in the infrastructure for the factories but not for the community’s needs for security and social services. He spoke of the problems caused by corrupt police and the influence of the drug cartels. The cartels, damaged by the strong law enforcement efforts have resorted to other criminal activities such as extortion, kidnapping and even bank robberies. He said that the politics of the current U.S. federal government are beginning to fracture the traditional relationship between the border cities, not just in questions of economics, but also familial and cultural. He opined that a cooperative effort between the U.S. and Mexico is vital to security along the border.
