Suspect in Mexican killings Underscores Revolving Door at Border (Ciudad Juarez Murders)

Suspect in Mexican killings underscores revolving door at U.S.-Mexico border

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - For years young women have been raped, mutilated, killed and dumped into shallow graves in Ciudad Juarez, the gritty Mexican city across the border from El Paso, Texas. For just as long, the perpetrators have gone unpunished, sparking international outrage at an inept Mexican justice system....

Law enforcement records in Texas and New Mexico show that the suspect, Jose Francisco Granados de la Paz, was frequently in American jails and was sent back to Mexico repeatedly, only to return to the United States and commit more crimes. He was on probation on a Texas felony conviction when at least some of the murders he's suspected of committing are believed to have occurred.

Granados' story exemplifies the revolving door that is the U.S.-Mexico border. While U.S. law enforcement can deport convicts to Mexico, it has no authority to keep watch on them there. Often they simply sneak back across the border....

Almost 400 women have been slain in Juarez since 1993, about 100 of them in similar ways, generally involving rape, strangulation and mutilation....

In Mexico, however, authorities say Granados is now suspected of being a "co-author" in what are known here as the "cotton field slayings," some of the most gruesome crimes in Mexican history, which take their name from an old cotton field where the bodies were dumped....

Esmeralda Herrera Monreal was 15 when she disappeared on Oct. 29, 2001. A week later, hers was the first body to be found in the cotton field. Her killer had raped her and cut off her face before dumping her body....

I first heard about these slayings in a music video by a "post-hardcore" rock band called "At the Drive-In," who were based out of El Paso, TX, which is right across the border from Ciudad Juarez. You can watch the video here.

Oh, I forgot to say, if this guy and the other suspects are the perps, I'd say "pliers and a blowtorch" would be too good for them.

Apparently, the killer's family values stopped at the border somewhere.

That is a staggering number of killings-I just don't see how two serial killers like that could run loose for that long, no matter how badly Mexican law enforcement sucks.

Well, according to the video, most of the victims worked in the maquiladoras in Ciudad Juarez. The women who work the night shift are taken by bus to the outskirts of the shanty towns that they live in, and are dropped of there. That setup must attract the sexual predators by the boatload.

Doors can be locked. There's no revolving door. There's no door at all.

This scumbag is committing them in Mexico, oh that's right there is no such thing as an American born scumbag.

Actually per the article it appears as if he's been in trouble on this side of the border as well. So I'm guess it's safe to say he isn't just committing them in Mexico.

"...He was on probation on a Texas felony conviction when at least some of the murders he's suspected of committing are believed to have occurred."

You can put your money on the proposition that if he was a serial killer in Mexico, he didn't stop his nasty business once he came to the States as a 'guest worker.'

I tell ya it's coming to the point where we need some sort of 'Big Brother is watching you' tag implanted in these guys to keep them out of the country, once they are caught and convicted.

"oh that's right there is no such thing as an American born scumbag."

So, you suggest that because we have homegrown criminals, we should import more?

What possible sense does that make?

Of course there is Dane, you're living proof of that! You are a US born citizen, aren't you, Dane? Now, give us your lopsided justification for importing more serial killers into this country, ILLEGALLY. This is 4 or 5 Mexican serial killers in the news in the past few months.

Here ya go, just the first page of Google.

I hope one day people like you, who have fought to keep these criminals pouring into this country, have to face the families of the THOUSANDS of victims of your beloved Mexican illegal aliens.

Well first of all, this is all baloney. There is no serial killer in Ciudad Juarez, that was years and years ago. And there were no "hundreds" of victims, there were maybe 15 or 20. For ten years now, feminists and incompetent journalists have been perpetuating the myth that women are "raped and murdered with impunity" in this seedy border town -- but it's nonsense. Virtually every "fact" published about this case in the last 10 years has been inaccurate.
