Chicongo is Mexico’s third largest city according to Luis Gutierrez, right behind Los Angeles and Mexico City.

I am hoping the cartels will be quick to figure out caravans of invaders are hurting their bottom line. When it gets more dangerous to cross, they will stop. And not a single taxpayer dollar spent.
