The Battle of Juarez is showing signs that the good guys are not prevailing. The Juarez newspaper, El Diario de Juarez, has cried uncle in its mixed stance of reporting the progress of the war. In the front page editorial that appeared recently, the editor waved the white flag and asked the cartels publicly what they want from him. The murder of a photographer and another reporter in the recent past are hitting far too close to home for him to continue to be a brave purveyor of the truth. In a city ravaged by nearly 7,000 deaths since 2006...

We tell you all the time about cartels hanging signs in Juarez and across Mexico. These signs threaten rival cartels or the government. Nome remarkable video as it happens. This video was taken in Chihuahua City as members of the Sinola cartel hang a sign from an overpass. As you can see they walk through traffic holding their automatic rifles, singing and seemingly unconcerned about anyone trying to stop them. Just another example of how these narco-traffickers are running northern Mexico.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Some 230,000 people have left Ciudad Juarez, a border city that has become Mexico’s murder capital, in the past three years as the death toll from a gang war topped 7,000, a non-governmental organization said in a new report. About 124,000 people, or 53.9 percent of the total, have sought safe haven in El Paso, Texas, which is just across the border, the Ciudad Juarez Citizens Security and Coexistence Observatory said. The rest have returned to their hometowns, mainly in Durango, Coahuila and Veracruz states, to get away from the drug-related violence. “Action should be taken...

I watched the new documentary Southern Exposure which was just released and it was very well done. It helps those people who are not versed on the subject to realize that illegal immigration is a bigger problem than what they may have thought. Any effort to help make people understand that this is issue is so much more than migrant workers, is doing a good job. I live in a small town and we have ms-13 graffitti here too.

MEXICO CITY — With a blunt remark that grated on Mexicans, Washington's top diplomat was merely echoing a growing concern about the alarming violence and instability being caused by Mexico's war on drug cartels. Mexican officials publicly disputed on Thursday the declaration by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton the previous day that Mexico is "looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago." Clinton's assessment is nevertheless shared by the crime-fighters who dismantled Colombia's killer cartels and have been offering Mexican officials, police and prosecutors advice and training for more than two years. Critics say Mexican President...
