There are “no go” zones in Mexico. Mexicans avoid them too. And they have been increasing.

Possibly drug trade related. Mexico has no death penalty, and the prisons are sieves for people with enough money for bribes (e.g. cartel members). Not entirely surprising that security people are killing drug dealers they arrest, since cartel members are known for targeting not only the cops and soldiers enforcing the law - they also go after family members. Ultimately, Mexico needs to restart its execution chambers and execute tens of thousands of drug dealers and/or murderers in a period of years numbered in the low single digits before any kind of stability is reached.

There are many cases of Marinas going quietly rogue and living a double life-appearing to go after the cartel/mafia capos when they are on the clock while providing paramilitary training for the soldiers-basically a private army-of those same capos on their off days, often under the protection of their cartel purchased superior officers-as well as bribed governors, mayors and other local officials.

The Spanish brought European style corruption here, starting with Hernan Cortes, and taught it to the Native Americans-and after 500+ years of, there is definitely no institution from Mexico to S. America that is not rife with corruption-most of my ancestors were wise-they saddled up and moved from northern Mexico into what is now W Texas and NM by the end of the 18th century-it was a good survival strategy...

My 1st husband and I quit driving our Suburban on Culiacan highway on vacations, in spite of the scenery and good road-it was a “no go” zone for any Latino with a good job and family on either side of the border-that was in about 1987-with both of us being American/Texican Latino, speaking Spanish as our 2nd language-and him often doing engineering work on company projects on both sides of the border, we didn’t care to be abducted and/or executed by the cartel that patrolled that road, looking for ransom bait...

Yes, after the cops got corrupted, they tried sending in the Marines to root out the drug gangs. This may have been a successful operation. I’m not getting outraged over this excerpt.

You’re right; like those radicalized college students that were killed a while back (though they were Mexican nationals), I don’t assume the headline conveys an accurate picture of what happened. I also don’t confuse “US citizen” with “American” anymore...

Mexico is full of very good hard working people. Many of these people come to the United States illegally as illegal aliens and they are not migrants. They are illegal aliens period. A fraction of those illegal aliens are criminals and harm my nation greatly. I wish not to deport the criminals. I want to put them in jail commiserate with their crimes.

The illegal aliens, not migrants, that have come here and have not committed crimes should be sent home and stand in line like all others to gain legal access to our nation. The real hell of it is that the majority of these people are good people but that does not give them right to take precedence over others doing it the legal way.

My wife is from Mexico. She is a legal American Citizen the legal way. She attended universities in Texas. Her brother from Mexico took 17 years to become a citizen of our great nation. It took 17 years because he did it the legal way. Why should someone that crossed the border illegally be granted privilege ahead of my brother in law?

If we enforce the law there will be some tragic cases of truly innocents sent back. The tragedy of not doing this will be far greater for our nation.

Justice is not always kind. Injustice is far worse.

what Mexico needs is a revolution

the people need to band together and overthrow the corrupt system from bottom to top

The problem being that such revolutions are seldom carried out in search of a democratically elected republican form of government, but usually by socialist-communist-Marxist wannabes. Do we really need another committed commie country on our border?
