MEXICO CITY — The mayor of a city south of Mexico’s capital was shot to death on Saturday, less than a day after taking office, officials said.

Gunmen burst into the house of Mayor Gisela Mota in the city of Temixco and killed her, said the government of Morelos state, where Temixco is located. Two presumed assailants were killed and two others detained, said Morelos Gov. Graco Ramirez in the government statement.

Officials attributed her killing to organized crime.

...

Temixco is a city of about 100,000 people neighboring Cuernavaca, a resort and industrial city which has been suffering kidnappings and extortion linked to organized crime groups. Though Cuernavaca is the state capital of Morelos, Temixco is the seat of several state institutions including the Public Security Commission, which coordinates state and local police forces. Morelos also neighbors drug cartel-plagued Guerrero state.

The “US” Congress and Obola the Moslem were in delight,
and invited the murderers to the USA by jet
for Quartering at locations to be determined.

Does anyone else wonder why Americans need a passport to return to America from Mexico, but the third worlders don’t?

I think eventually Mexico is going to go into anarchy and it will require the US to move in and occupy it. Just a matter of when.

I used to love to go to La Paz, Guaymas and Puerto Penasco to vacation. There is no way I would go there now!

Maybe not as far-fetched as it sounds. I've thought the same thing for several years.

Just imagine cartel murders occurring on American soil, and I can see a certain president demanding either Mexico crack down hard or U.S. forces will take care of the problem.
