Four Blocks to Freedom
There is a 28 year old American named Yvette Martinez who has "disappeared" in Nuevo Loredo along with 27+ other US Citizens in the past few months. After a month of the Mexican law doing nothing and the US law saying "we can do nothing-Mexico runs their own country", her father started investigating by himself, along with some news people. She and her friend were traced to an intersection where they called a friend in the States. They could see the American Flag across the border. Four blocks away.
The Mexican mayor says, "It's safe here!" The police would not help. Finally Yvette's father found her car. It was in a storage lot used by the police. They refuse to talk. The US tells him, it's not their place to question Mexico. I don’t see any of the OBL shedding any tears for her heartbroken mother and father because they are “hispanic”. This is all about dirty money,from the corruption in Mexico, the drugs, the refusal to enforce existing law to the “willing worker program”.
God helps those who help themselves. Right now we aren't helping anyone except for a select few profiting with all this mess. It's not right and it's sure not American. I live in the mountains away from what many in the city are living through and not 15 miles from here are armed gangs of Illegal Latino’s growing weed in the National Forests. Same gangs as Nuevo Loredo. The sheriff can’t control it and the state or Federal government will not address it. They hold Mexican citizens hostage to work their fields. It’s been going on for YEARS. People are afraid. And yes, we get snippy when someone calls us racist or worse because our lives and communities have been changed for the worse and the powers that be, say -TOUGH! And we thought the enviro-whacko’s were bad! This isn’t what I promised my children.
