I just helped coach junior girls soccer today in San Diego, they are so innocent, so happy, so full of life...

When I was on the border the trade was the other way. It was American girls going south to Mexico City and then (we think) to Saudi Arabia and Japan. At least the pretty ones were, the others stayed in Mexico.

The daughter of some friends disappeared and we went after her. We got her out along with about 30 others at various points along the organization.

It was the most surreal thing I have ever seen. A shadow world. Kicking down doors in Mexican bordellos with sawed off 12 gauges. It's a world completely built on lies but I doubt we set them back a month. The traffic was big, very big.

I saw it. I smelled it. I still can't completely come to terms with the magnitude and reality. Americans just do not have the slightest concept of how barbaric the world really is.

Most big cities in the USA have "sanctuary laws" that forbid cops to even question illegals. That provides them all the security they need to run brothels full of young sex slaves with no worries.

What about the FBI. Won't they investigate? I think we should all be mindful of these things and keep an eye out for it in our neighborhoods. We need to be praying and weeping for these poor children. The Bible said that there would be lots of slavery in the end times. I use to think that this was really hard to imagine but not anymore.

" ... they told me the Mexican border was like a freeway ... "

Unfettered borders and open access to US markets, the "Hollywood" perception of America as a lure, rampant corruption of officials, and thugs in every country willing to take advantage of it, including here as customers of these girls.

Kinda make that Simcox story about seeing armed mexican troops on the border seem overblown and unbelievable, huh?

Pretty horrific. West Front Street was a rough area when I worked there 25 years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same....

A little bit of the seedy side of life that exists in our own neighborhoods, even mine.

So far in those reports they are saying they think the Mexican police might not have been murdering the girls. A lot of the families of the girls believe it may be the police themselves.

A lot of the speculation over the Juarez girl murders is that the killer/s are protected by local police. Witnesses report seeing police dumping some of the girls' bodies.

They've already determined the the police were doing much of the torturing and murders of the men --- a policeman was involved last year in the kidnapping of a small boy they held for ransom a year ago but murdered him when the money didn't come in a couple days --- 5 men were involved but it was the policeman who did the killing and dumping of that body. I would guess that the police did some of the murders of the girls and young women.

I agree with your comments. One of the reasons I am so dead set against illegal immigration is that the illegal immigrant is subject to manipulation and abuse in just about every situation they find themselves in.

From the Coyotes to the employers north of the border to the local gang members who find them easy prey, the illegal is subject to all manner of abuse, unable to defend themselves by use of law enforcement.

I would submit that there are very few real winners when it comes to illegal immigration, including those who origionally think they're going to the promised land north of the border.

El Presidente Fox, his party and the PRI party in Mexico have a lot to answer for. For the whole last century one of them or another screwed their citizens shamelessly.

If we had a half-way decent leader in this nation, he'd put Mexico on notice that the U.S. won't stand by while it invades our territory any longer. For the benefit of US and Mexican citizens, the corrupt leadership must end.

That's on both sides of the border my friends!

No, the FBI will not investigate. Illegal aliens are protected, they are a no-go area for PC reasons, much as arab flight school students were prior to 9-11. The FBI is first and foremost a political organ.

Looks like verification of the national scope of the problem to me.

Did you read the other thread I posted about the Mexican cops implicated in mass murder? It's linked about #10 here.

I wonder where the cochroaches and trolls are tonight? Pretty quiet, are they not?

Mexico is hopeless, until and unless we mount "Operation Mexican Freedom." But we won't.

The New York Times, Jason Blair, Peter Landesman....

I would believe the Enquirer before I believed any of the BS in The Time.

I don't know if this story has added parts --- but the problems in Mexico are definitely real, and it's all moving over to this side with massive immigration by the same people involved in all this in Mexico.

Casa Alianza is the Latin American branch of the Catholic Covenant House, they work with the street children of Mexico City. Any of us who have been to Mexico City --- and I would think all their cities, knows there are enormous numbers of children abandoned to the streets. Obviously many become victims of prostitution --- and to many smugglers of humans would just be another source of money to be made.

http://www.casa-alianza.org/EN/street-children/

In Guatemala, about 70 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty, which means they cannot meet on a regular basis their most basic needs for food and shelter. In Honduras, 80 percent live in extreme poverty. In Mexico City, the most populated city in the world, it is estimated that three out of ten children fight to survive in the streets.

Throughout Latin America, millions of children are born into shantytowns, colonias, that have mushroomed on the periphery of large cities during the last 30 years, a result of rapid urbanization and the absence of land reform policies. In Guatemala, two percent of the population owns 80 percent of the agricultural economy -- the arable land.

Victims of civil unrest and other societal dynamics, the children who take to the streets are viewed by some social psychologists as adapting functionally to otherwise unworkable home situations.

The social phenomenon of street children is increasing as the Third World population grows. In fact, the largest-ever global generation of children will be born in this decade. Four out of ten urban dwellers are expected to be under 18 years of ageby the year 2000. That number is expected to increase to six out of ten by 2025.

The incidence of HIV infection among street children is increasing. The Houston Chronicle reported that among 121 Mexican street children tested for HIV in 1988, about seven percent tested positive. The Mexican government's AIDS agency said then that the cases were only the "tip of the iceberg" among the estimated two million children living in Mexico City's streets. The government AIDS-testing program for street children was stopped, however, because it could offer few services once full-blown AIDS cases were detected.
