ROSARITO, Mexico (Reuters) - Four people believed to be Americans were shot in the head and dumped in a notorious drug-smuggling area in northern Mexico near the border with California, Mexican police said on Monday.

Police in the beach town of Rosarito, across the border from San Diego, said they discovered the bodies of three men and a woman on Sunday in an abandoned car in a remote patch of scrubland near the Pacific coast.

In that heap of corpses, was there a senator’s daughter or a congressman’s son?

Nope?

Move along.

Three black guys and a white woman. Looks like the race war is on both sides of the border.

Ooops. Not supposed to mention it.

They are kidnapping folks on the San Diego side also and killing them in Mexico. There was a news story two weeks ago on it.

Last year McCain thought that all those here illegally should be allowed a program where they’d be given amnesty...and he’s the GOP nominee for ...what?

There has been a lot of violence and drug gang activity in Mexico in the past few years. We have a war involving drugs right on our southern border. The drug gangs are fighting each other and the outgunned Mexican government.

“Police concluded the victims were U.S. citizens because the vehicle had California license plates, the three men were of African-American appearance, the woman was Caucasian and a U.S. driver’s license was found in the car, the spokesman said.”

If these were drug related, who cares?

This has nothing to do with race. This is a collection agency at work.

The problem is stll what it has always been, which is that markets are being manipulated by do-gooder politicians. The prices of drugs like marijuana and cocaine are inflated by excessive regulation, making the potential profit irresistible to those who choose to ignore the regulations on the market. Since they can ignore the laws against drugs, they can ignore a lot of other laws, like the laws requiring bill collectors to notify their debtors in writing before taking them to court. Since they weren't going to get their money back, they reinvested it in a little "advertising."

If you let foreign criminals wantonly kill American criminals anytime they feel like it, it won’t be very long before they move up to killing American tourists for fun and profit.

Which brings up the question.... if the black guys turned out to be Mexicans, would they be African-Mexicans or African-American Mexicans?

Let them take out the trash. We house and feed enough of their trash.

"They are kidnapping folks on the San Diego side also and killing them in Mexico."

And the response of the traitors in Congress?

Recall several recent stories on this, but, IIRC, the kidnapped Americans were generally Hispanic with some family living immediately across the border.
