I suspect the real murder rate is far, far higher.

Hopefully, the Mexicans will all eventually kill themselves, and solve the illegal immigration problem permanently..

Well,there are the murders committed with firearms and then there are those committed with machetes.I post a photo here a few months ago of several severed heads that were displayed by a drug cartel...presumably as a warning to those who turn down their "silver or lead" choice.

It was quickly deleted by the moderator.

Lunatic leadership...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In both parties.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio want to make them citizens of the USA.

That’s right. Like Buchanan said years ago, “The differences between the two beltway parties are inconsequential”. In other words they’re a bunch of GD liars and posers.

These are the people democrats brought into America by the thousands and thousands during the dark years of Obama Tyranny.

And they are still fighting to bring more of them into the country without regard for our laws or the safety of American citizens.

But wait! How can this be??? I thought most guns were illegal in Mexico. Surely those murderers aren’t breaking the law by having guns are they?

Maybe they need to pass more laws and double ban some already banned guns.

If guns are illegal in Mexico, then that means Eric Holder must have sent A LOT of guns south of the border.

Much much higher. Look for more after the elections. Also the killing of priest will grow. It’s1920 all over again.

"Mexico murder rate soars with 7,667 killed in 3 months"

I got an idea. Send all the illegals to Chicago so they can feel right at home.

If guns are illegal in Mexico

******************

Not all guns are illegal. But you can’t legally carry them around
with you either. They must be kept at home. Mexico had 29,168
murders in 2017. The record 29,168 murders in 2017 is higher
than the homicide rate at peak of Mexico’s drug war in 2011, when
there were 27,213.
