SAN FERNANDO, Mexico – Two cars exploded early Friday in a northern state where officials are investigating the killing of 72 Central and South American migrants, while a prosecutor investigating the massacre has disappeared. The prosecutor, Roberto Jaime Suarez, disappeared Wednesday in the town of San Fernando, where the bodies of the migrants were found, the Tamaulipas state attorney general's office said in a statement. A transit police officer in the town is also missing.

The first exploded in front of the offices of the Televisa network and the second in front of transit-police offices. There were no injuries, though both caused some damage to buildings and knocked out the signal of the Televisa network for several hours. The explosion outside Televisa was felt for several blocks...

Is it premature to call Mexico a “failed state”?

This is only happening because of Arizona’s racist immigration law that mirrors unenforced federal law.

“The raw power of Islam has moved in.”

Obama’s buddies are moving in. He has done nothing to condemn them rather he bows to them and treats the US like dirt

I don’t think it is premature to call Tamaulipas a failed state. Check this out. If you need me to translate, I will.

“This discovery once again demonstrates the extreme danger and violence that Central Americans face on their treacherous journey north, as well as the Mexican government’s abject failure to protect them,” said a statement released by the human rights organization Amnesty International.”

Thank you, AI. How ‘bout putting the responsibility squarely on the people who take the “treacherous journey north”, rather than intimating they’re the martyrs and heroes here? NGOs - gotta love ‘em...

That p.o.s. Presidente Calderon has a lot of nerve complaining about the way we treat Mexican illegal immigrants. Soutn American and Central American illegals in Mexico are raped, robbed, and murdered in Mexico all the time. Mexican police are often the culprits. The Mexican police and military are infiltrated by the cartels. Como se dice “Chutzpah” en Espanol?

They aren't responsible for their murders. The murderers are.

I hate to be crude but Mexico failed the day that the words Donkey and Show were put together in an advertisement.
