Mexico posted its highest homicide rate in decades, with the government reporting Sunday there were 29,168 murders in 2017.

The number is the highest since comparable records began being kept in 1997 and is also higher than the peak year of Mexico's drug war in 2011, when there were 27,213 murders.

The Interior Department, which posted the number, reported the country's homicide rate was 20.5 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2017, compared to 19.4 in 2011.

Those are probably just the ones that they know about, or can’t hide.

If you compare the homicide rate in Mexico with the the homicide rates is Central America and Venezuela, Mexico looks like Switzerland or Norway.

Never forget where they got the arms... Eric Holder and Barak Obama conspiring with Vincente Fox, with their willing dupes in the AFT. Wonder if the same guys went on to work in Justice or the FBI?

The Agenda 21 groupees are not concerned about the deaths of a few tens of thousands of non-elite brownies.
