MEXICO CITY (November 12, 2009)--Some business groups in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, are calling on the United Nations to send peacekeepers to quell the drug-related violence.
Groups representing maquiladora plants, retailers and other businesses said yesterday they'll submit a request to the Mexican government and the Inter American Human Rights Commission.
The Mexican government has sent more than 5,000 soldiers to the city across the border from El Paso, but killings, extortions and kidnappings continue.
Ciudad Juarez has had 1,986 homicides through mid-October this year - averaging seven a day in the city of 1.5 million people.
Soledad Maynez with the Ciudad Juarez Association of Maquiladoras says the joint police-army operation to quell killings and crime have yielded no results.
Maynez said business and civic groups want U.N. peacekeepers or advisers in Juarez.
As long as they stay on that side of the border. Too bad the UN doesn’t recognize borders.
There aren’t enough blue helmts for that...and even if there, they’d probably get their asses shot off before they were there a week.
As a Texan, I don’t think I like (or trust) this idea.
These killings exceed Afghanistan and Iraq. How is the MSM covering it?
As an American, I know I don’t trust the idea.
...and this little reported story is how it starts.
LOL. Big little secret by the media, eh?
It may foment yet another Constitutional crisis, and we'll finally resolve some nagging, unresolved questions, such as "Does the southern border actually exist in the minds of our elites?"
and
"Is the .308 caliber in the hands of a Texan really the best tool for preventing totalitarianism, or are other calibers more suited to the long distance shots so common along the southern border?"
One step at a time....
Yea, right! And how long do you think it would be before the drug cartels had the UN’ers in their pocket?
As a fellow Texan, I wonder if China has committed troops to UN peace keeping forces.
And I REALLY don’t like that idea.
And, I’ve found the answer to my previous question:
China’s Contribution to UN Peacekeeping Grows

As the United Nations finds its peacekeeping missions stretched around the world, one major power is making a difference. China, a country that once criticized UN peacekeeping operations as interference with national sovereignty, is now a major troop contributor. Close to 2,200 Chinese are now wearing the characteristic blue helmets of U.N. peacekeepers.

Yep the wonderful WOD keeps right on humming along
The UN is more likely to send foreign troops to US soil to make sure ‘Latino’ and muslim immigrants are given everything they shouldn’t get and destroy our 2nd amendment.
“As a fellow Texan, I wonder if China has committed troops to UN peace keeping forces.
And I REALLY don’t like that idea.”
Heck, China already has an army imported on our soil.
Thousands of illegal alien Chinese being smuggled over the Mexican border (pay around $20,000 to $30,000 each....where does a ‘poor’ chinaman get that kind of $$$?)

An earlier article translated by NAFBPO tells us more about Chinese illegal aliens.
El Universal (Mexico City) 10/20/09
“Central America is a bridge for illegals” –
(Article’s sub-headline): “More and more African and Asian migrants arrive in the area, smuggled by Chinese and Colombian bands, heading to the U.S.”
Chinese and Colombian mafias, allied with the Central American “coyotes” have enlarged the hugely profitable, massive illegal traffic of persons who seek to enter the United States and Canada by land, via Mexico, and have converted Central America into the hallway of Africans and Asians – and not only Latin Americans and persons from the Caribbean, who face a dangerous journey with an uncertain outcome, after paying large amounts of money. The head of Panama’s Immigration Service said that this phenomenon could open up a thresher for the infiltration of international terrorism due to the illegal entry of fundamentalist African Muslims.
The Africans fly from South Africa to Brazil and go by land to Colombia, Central America and Mexico to be able to get into the United States and Canada. Due to controls in Costa Rica and Panama, routes change and sometimes they are taken by sea from the Colombian ports of Barranquilla and Cartagena, on the Caribbean, toward Nicaragua or Honduras, so that they may enter Belize, and from there, to Mexico, the United States and Canada. The minimum charge per each illegal migrant is over 7 thousand dollars. The head of Costa Rica’s Immigration and Foreigners’ Affairs, Mario Zamora, said that in Nicaragua and Honduras “they have social networks that assist them and collaborate with them during the trip, and in the case of Belize’s black population they wouldn’t stand out” and that once in Belize they obtain the trip to Mexico. He added: “The phenomenon continues. From information we’ve been able to obtain, we know that there are some two thousand persons of African origin in Colombia and the southern portion of Central America, which demonstrates that the detentions have been minimal in comparison with the official figures we have been furnished.”
Nearly 275 Africans are detained in immigration housing facilities in Central America, but the number could be higher because there is no precise official tally. Of the total, most are from Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana and Somalia, but also included are citizens of Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh, who entered as part of the “African” network. The phenomenon began to be detected in 2008 and the key bases of the contraband operated in Costa Rica and Panama.
In August of this year, Costa Rican immigration police gave the smuggling ring a hard blow and captured three Colombians who were attempting to have a numerous group of Africans to go ashore at the Costa Rican port of Limon; they’re now accused of international people trafficking. Zamora explained that one of the causes for trafficking of Africans and Asians in Latin America is that Europe has reinforced its migratory and security controls.
In the case of Chinese, the structure is controlled by a Chinese Mafia known as “Red Dragon”, and that it charges up to some 60 thousand dollars per person to take them from Hong Kong to Paris and Bogota by air, and then they choose various options to attempt to reach the United States. One method of the traffic is to hide the Chinese in ships that sail from Panamanian ports to the United States. In other instances, the Chinese are taken by land to Panama and then by vessel to Guatemala so that they may enter Mexico and continue toward the United States. One of the routes detected is the one which takes them to Ecuador, and from the port of Guayaquil they’re sent to Guatemala so they may continue their northbound trip on Mexican soil. The maritime trip from Colombia to Nicaraguan and Honduran ports on the Caribbean is also used, from where they are sent by land to Belize, Guatemala and Mexico.
Costa Rican sources have confirmed that the Chinese mafia has made death threats against immigration officials because of smuggling operations being undone. Panamanian judicial sources warned about the danger of the Red Dragon, since the Chinese communities “are very reserved” in their culture, and for fear of becoming kidnapping and extortion victims of the gangs.
