I'd pass on that job.

Maybe the drug cartels will just appoint someone.

Officials said they did not have a motive or know if the mayor had received any threats..

Don’t know. The mayor of Juarez and his family are living in El Paso.

This is amazing. This stuff is happening on our border. We throw two US border guards in jail for shooting a Mexican drug guy, then take care of the drug guy and treat him like a victim....What happens when headless bodies start showing up and US officials in El Paso, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, San Diego, LA.....start being assassinated?

Don't think that American elected officials aren't keeping
a close eye on what the Mexicans are doing to their politicians.

You are being racist and unreasonable and xenophobic, when you could be celebrating the diversity of having illegal alien drug lords killing U.S. elected officials and innocent bystanders that Americans won’t kill. For shame. Have you abandoned the ideals of the melting pot? Have you forgotten that it is a small world after all? Kumbaya out. Oh, and check out what happened in Reynosa last week. Nice shootout in the street.

“In addition, the University of Arizona warned its students against going to Mexico on spring break this year, and Arizona State University is considering the same advisory.”

My brother-in-law has a manufactured home in Ensenada, BC as a weekend beach home getaway. Takes 3 hours to get there from Orange County, CA. More coming back because of the border.

About 3 years ago I told him I had no interest in Mexico, and we got into an unconfortable disagreement.

He reacted as if I insulted his intelligence, etc. We patched it up, so I have kept quiet.

But the last couple of years, more and more incidents have occured.

Maybe one day soon he may say: “Now I can understand how you felt.”

I’d heard about this. Any idea HOW they managed to arrange this...asylum?

I was just wondering the same thing, especially with the arrests of all those drug cartel members here in the states. Is it only a matter of time before our local officials are targeted and killed?

The fact we haven’t seen US officials targeted makes one SCRATCH THEIR HEAD.
