MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A survivor has told police that 72 people found dead at a ranch near the Mexican border with Texas were migrants kidnapped by an armed group, a federal official said Wednesday.
The bodies of 58 men and 14 women were discovered Tuesday when Marines manning a checkpoint on a highway in the northern state of Tamaulipas were approached by a wounded man who said he had been attacked by gang gunmen at a nearby ranch.

So now the drug gangs are also preying on the Other Than Mexicans. They kidnap them and simply slaughter them if they don’t pay up.

Oh oh....
If there is some one killing a bunch of illegal immigrants, then that would be bad.
If there is someone killing illegal immigrants so they can BLAME those evil conservatives... that would be worse.
keep your eye on this one. Watch the political spin

But one of the federal officials noted that the area is controlled by the Zetas drug cartel, which has diversified into trafficking of migrants trying to reach the United States.
The Zetas are the most violent paramilitary enforcement group in Mexico.

And we have Liberals in BOTH THE GOP AND DNC who want to continue this Illegal Alien nonsense....even if it kills Illegals
The Drug Cartels control Mexico....and if one is still supporting Illegal Alien Amnesty and NAFTA....you pretty much are aiding and abetting the Cartels
Seal the Border, Deport the Illegals, Abrogate NAFTA

Mexico isn't a nation, it is a plague and the plague is spreading North. Sure there are some OK Mexicans but overall it is a very unpalatable, unholy disaster.

Well, hell, no WONDER they all wanna come here! Here’s an idea, Mexico: clean up your own house. Man up and fight the bad guys. Sometimes that’s just what it comes down to.

Just saw this on the news. Seems the cartels or gangs have added shaking down illegal migrants south of the border for whatever pittance they're packing along with them.
Maybe the Federales just don't care or are in on the take?
