No wonder so many Mexicans are trying to leave that cesspool. Can the U.S. do anything to stop the violence? Can anyone?

I’m looking at Juarez through my hotel window. No way am I going near that town while I’m out here.

[Roccus]

800 murders and it’s only August...who’s the mayor of Juarez, David Dinkins?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Isn’t murdering these people against the Geneva Convention or “unconstitutional” or something?

[microgood]

Prohibition has always had a lot of violence associated with it.

[Candor7]

This is not crime.

Its urban warfare.

They should set up a cordon at night, evacuate the neighborhoods where these posses hang out, and go in and irradicate them.

But of course, that is not politically correct.

BTW, look for the same in a City near you in America. It won't be long either, with illegal aliens coming in and bringing their posses with them. It will only be a few years before places like El Paso and San Antonio, Texas, will suffer the same dynamic.

Thank goodness the Border Patrol and Minutemen are slowing them down. But they can't keep them out with their present numbers and restricted authority.

Juarez is a staging ground for their US entry.

That is one reason it is important turf and why they are fighting over it.

“But the U.S. government is bringing Mexican casualties from the conflict to hospitals north of the border and paying for medical treatment. El Paso’s Thomason Hospital has treated 28 victims of the Mexican drug war this year, at a cost to taxpayers of about $1 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.”

WHY? WHY, why, why?????

and to think we drove into the town about 23 yrs ago with our kids and we went there just a few years ago on one of those bus tours.....we actually left the tour and walked to the grocery store to buy liquor by ourselves....

You couldn’t pay me to visit Ciudad Juarez. I’d rather walk naked in Philadelphia at 3 a.m. wearing a cheesehead.

[Mogollon]

I did a consulting contract in Juarez a few years ago. Glad I’m not there now.

[driftless2]

Visited Juarez for about one hour last October. Fortunately nobody was getting murdered in our presence. Not a lot of friendly faces.

Yikes! Yet both B. Hussein and John Sidney McCain voted AGAINST barring terrorists and criminals from entering the US, and both want amnesty. Annexing parts of US to Mexico or giving them independence would be the next step in line with our policy re Kosovo.
