CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – At least 30 gunmen burst into a drug rehabilitation center in a Mexican border state capital and opened fire, killing 19 men and wounding four people, police said. Gunmen also killed 20 people in another drug-plagued northern city.
The killings marked one of the bloodiest weeks ever in Mexico and came just weeks after authorities discovered 55 bodies in an abandoned silver mine, presumably victims of the country's drug violence.
The bullet-riddled bodies of 18 men and two women were found Friday in five different parts of Ciudad Madero, a city in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, where violence has surged this year amid a turf battle between the Gulf cartel and its former ally, the Zetas gang of hit men.

Baghdad is safer than Mexico
I wonder if President Calderon will blame the Arizona law for these killings?
And Calderon is worried about one punk teenager ?
Definitely a harsher form of Rehab....
That's 39 people that won't cross the border illegally.
Good Lord! What the heck is wrong with these people!? Mexico seems like pure chaos, I don’t want ANY of these people here without going through the legal immigration process and extensive background checks. I want that border LOCKED DOWN and guarded by machine gun...heck, I would not care at this point if those machine guns fired on their own.
I believe sooner than later the US will have to occupy Mexico if it further deteriorates into chaos and anarchy.
Guess the drug cartels don’t want to lose any customers....
And our President wants open borders? Yes, allow these animals full reign in our country. Between the onslaught of Mexican thugs and Muslim fanatics, we are doomed.
What step number is this ??
Wouldn't given them Methadone been easier??
Maybe the drug lords were pissed over losing these customers...
Just another rehab method, they definitely aren’t doing any more drugs
Let’s not forget the men & women found in the cave killed by the Mexican cartel. Some with their hearts cut out. WTF
Gosh. We HAVE to leave our border wide open so more of these nice Mexican gang members can come to America. Don’t we?
Gosh.
We should be building fortifications and a wall all along the border right now. What the hell are we waiting for? America is under attack. Napolitano has got to go. She is clueless as to what her priorities should be.
Yup... for example, Costa Rica is poor.. but they don’t behave like this.
It really seems like Earth is changing very quickly, and not for the better, not at all. I thank the Lord for the peace that I have enjoyed in my life so far, because I really don’t think it’s going to last much longer.
I don’t like illegal immigration either, but dude, that was an awful thing to say :-(
Surely you made that post in haste and now regret it.
We won the drug war in Columbia, unfortunately it is now migrated to Mexico thanks to Venezuela and Nicaragua encouraging it..
