"Amid the spiraling violence, few suspects are detained, as less than 2 percent of the murders are prosecuted. Eyewitnesses rarely come forward, as it is usually a death sentence; even the emergency medical technicians stopped responding to calls, as the drug gangs let it be known that they would be victims if they attempted to aid someone marked for death."
Juárez is on the verge of becoming a humanitarian crisis, an undeclared war being fought on our border -- and threatening to spill onto U.S. soil."
“The first was the disappearance of Jaime Irigoyen, a pitcher for the local semi-pro baseball team the Juárez Indios and a law student at the local university. Jaime, by all accounts, was a hard-working student, a good ballplayer and the kind of kid cities everywhere need. Asleep at home on a Monday, Jaime was dragged from bed by uniformed soldiers after they knocked down the front door. Soldiers blindfolded Jaime and took him away in the middle of the night with his mother and other family members screaming.
The family held a protest outside the military base the following day, demanding to know what had happened to their son. They found out while protesting: The body — blindfolded and gagged — showed up dumped on the street, executed. “
WTF??? This is Mexico’s idea of handling the problem?
And apparently Obama is too under his pay grade to bother handling an invasion of a guerilla army invading our country???
That sounds about right for Jerry Rivers. He reminds me of the guy in the audience of Carlos Mencia. Mencia was chiding them for coming here and trying to turn the US into the mess they left....Mencia kept saying, “C’mon you can do it...say it...Mexico sucks!”
Sub-prime mortages are more important. Move along.
Those of us in Texas know a lot of this but we’re having to dig like crazy just to get accurate NEWS, our “media” is a disgrace so I go online to Mexican newspapers, now that’s pathetic.
San Antonio Tx TV news is like watching the local tourist bureau propaganda, except for the daily drive-by shooting reports.
The drug cartels' militia routinely wear offical uniforms, drive government official vehicles and carry state of the art military hardware. This is probably the drug cartel's idea of handling the problem.
Of course, the distinction between the state and the cartels is becoming very ambiguous.
“Those of us in Texas know a lot of this but were having to dig like crazy just to get accurate NEWS, our media is a disgrace so I go online to Mexican newspapers, now thats pathetic.”
I hear ya. Much of our news about Mexico comes from foreign news sources. Most of the reporters have been assassinated down there. There is a video on the net of one reporter on a freeway trying to dodge bullets from both sides.
Nah, we don’t need a border fence. Everything is cool.
I see this morning that the maquilidoras along the border are shutting down and running back to the USA out of fear. Do you think those workers will be the first influx of ‘refugees’? It’s closer to the USA than it is to their homes far away in southern Mexico.
A few years back there were some cattle rustled and taken across the border. It became an international incident and our brand inspector was sent south to investigate. He was met by a group of military guys with guns slung over their shoulder, they drove throughout the countryside kicking in doors and intimidating innocent people just because they could and still look like they were doing something. The brand inspector was pretty sure they knew who had actually done the deed but were too afraid to go after them.
He said he was terrified and kissed the ground when he got back across the border.
Look at 'em---buncha drugged-up war profiteers salivating to get their hands on US monies. These sob stories are so bogus.....the espanola con artists have been planning this for a long time.
The con game is clear-----they whine as they sneak over our borders, just "god's children looking for a better life." Doing menial jobs cheap is part of the con.
Now they are in high gear-----using scare tactics to alarm the US into getting involved in Third World problems---of their own making. WHO'S KIDDING WHO? The Third World deliberately foments social unrest---manipulating drug activities and gang warfare on US soil for a targeted goal. THE STORY THUS FAR America ends up subsidizing illegal Third World undesirables who rape and kill, molest our kids, rob our businesses, and cause multiple deadly car wrecks.
They are salivating to get their hands on trillions of US tax dollars. Echos of Mideast greed resound south of the border.
Conniving Third World governments are pepetrating a con to get US dollars flowing into the pockets of greedy federales and drug lords. All under the guise of "stopping" the drug wars. BIG CLUE they are now using children as foils.
The espanolas are using the same playbook as Mideast connivers----the well-worn chapter entititled "How To Dupe the US Into Pouring Trillions Into Your Country."
The con job entails faking that they can't govern....that they are "helpless victims." Sure worked good in the Mideast---some of those lowlifes have been operating for years and are STILL too stupid to govern themselves.....UNLESS US tax dollars are pouring in.
CON ALERT Now watch the espanolas assay these tried and true Mideast cons to get the US tax dollars flowing:
1. Victimization----always works.
2. Baiting "enemies" of the US to attack their Third World hellholes (or, more precisely, people THEY claim are US enemies) in order to dupe the US to step in, and step up the dollar flow.
3. Sending espanola government agents masquerading as drug lords into the countryside to foment unrest.
4. Populating the US with espanola government agents to agitate for US govt involvement to trigger the flow of US tax dollars.
We get our news from an employee whose home is in Juarez and who, himself, has lost one grandson and another one was stabbed 58 times but lived.
It is crazy down there and getting crazier because what law enforcement there is is concerned with the drug wars and the other crooks and murderers know it and go about doing their deeds blatantly.
I saw that AuntB, it was on one of your posts which I’m grateful for. You’re always up early scouting the news about Mexico, much appreciated. If you have a ping list, add me to it. When I see your handle tagged to the article, I read it. Thanks you!
i no longer stop for gas or motels in el paso, tx.
I go online to Mexican news as well.
I am assuming it is safe to put the news online but a lot of the stories have bylines, which is dangerous.
“bad information obtained through torturing low-level informants...”
How does he know that?
He’s guessing.
It is just as likely the uniformed soliders could have been drug guys with bad information in the first place.
Foreign invaders and not friends of ours!
Wake Up America!
