I assume that whatever it is, somewhere drugs come into it. Possibly, the AB has a relation with the drug cartels. At some point, it could occur to the AB that for a relatively cheap price, prosecutors and judges can be assassinated. Why bother with the cops and detectives if the people who try the cases can be intimidated into not prosecuting?

Well, fact is it clearly appears the bad guys nowadays are definitely going after higher profile targets. Cops going after other cops, the Colorado prison boss, now DA's and their wives in Texas...

But why in tarnation would Mexican cartels use the AB when they have their own people here? Thousands of the cartels foot soldiers are right here along with tens of millions of other illegals from Mexico.

Our borders have been intentionally left wide open for decades by the corrupt ruling class of both countries.

Ya got Mexican drug bosses living right here in the good old USA not to mention thousands of their gangster soldiers. The cartels are not afraid to kill people on their own and never have been.

In fact, ya got U.S. Government politicians on their payrolls, paid off to ensure those open borders, remain wide open.

This is what corrupt government and lawless borders... The cartels and all their friends running around north of the border would have no problem taking out someone here to make a point. The cops and the politicians know this.

For example this happened just last week in Mexico.

All shot in the head, some with warning signs attached to them with ice picks in their chests.

A gruesome photo out of Mexico appears to show the bodies of seven men, propped up in plastic chairs on a busy traffic circle. All appear to have been executed. The corpses were discovered near a Pepsi bottling plant at a traffic circle in the Mexican city of Uruapan, in Michoacan state.

It's very clear these people have no problem with violent terrorism and wholesale murder, to the point where they stage the victims for public viewing...They don't need the AB for that.

The cartels are doing murders in Mexico, they can’t risk being that high profile here. The illegal issue.

They need someone else to do the damage here. Who is crazy enough to do it here? The people being investigated, the AB. Run guns to Mexico. In return you get the drugs, and your share. Kill anyone that gets close. Border agent Terry may have stumbled into something.

"But why in tarnation would Mexican cartels use the AB when they have their own people here?"

I would offer the theory that it is the other way around. The AB would offer money to hire drug cartel hit men. The assassination could be carried out, and the murderer is back in Mexico before the investigation is even half way done. That's one way open borders work. Easy to get in, and easy to get out. And it would be difficult to pin on the AB.

Mexican cartels use white Americans because it is easier to infiltrate US cities and towns. If Mex Drug Cartels use their own people in US areas, locals will not deal with mestizos/mulattos with bad accents.....they will deal with their gringo sub-agents.

Also, Mex Cartels are fully aware Americans are armed and will shoot back....less likely to shoot stranger gringo than stranger Latino
