Mexico set a grim record in July for the staggering number of murders sweeping the country, with homicides up 5% since 2018. Experts cite the ongoing cartel wars and gang violence on the sad statistic.
Mexico saw 3,080 killings in June, an increase of over 8% from the same month a year ago, according to official figures. The country of almost 125 million now sees as many as 100 killings per day nationwide, reports the Associated Press [link to URL].
The 17,608 killings in the first half of 2019 is the most since comparable records began being kept in 1997, including the peak year of Mexicos drug war in 2011. Officials said 16,714 people were killed in the first half of 2018, adds the website [link to URL].
Homicides in the northern state of Sonora -which borders Arizona and New Mexico- are up 69% in the first half of 2019.

After all those illegal caravans, what’s the data on illegals murdering US citizens in the US?

The narco business is being replaced by human trafficking across the border, of paying customers. Given the nature of the cartels, I would expect they seek to compete with established child trafficking operations, as well.
The cartels no doubt saw the end of drug prohibition approaching. Shifting to border infiltration and child trafficking gives better assurance that their business wont be wiped out by legalization. In that respect they have natural motivation to engage in the most heinous enterprises possible. The scum rise to the top, and leave a lot of bodies behind. Its how they do business.
Business is good.
Obama and Holder supplied guns to their favorite cartel a la fast and furious. I’ve always wondered how many Mexicans have been killed with those weapons.Obama and Holder ought to be shot. The # of Obama felonies must be at least triple digit.....the media: whatever man, Trump’s fault.
Holder must’ve shipped the narcos a lot of weapons. Fast and Furious ALERT! Stay safe, stay armed.
Those are only the ones they’re counting.
Hey, Death is popular in Mexico.
Notice how much they like the skull motif, all those pretty, decorated skulls worked into art and advertisements?
The narcos venerate a “saint”, Santa Muerte, and build shrines to her. The popularity of “Our Lady of Holy Death” has been increasing in recent years and millions of ordinary Mexicans now offer prayers to the boney beetch.
I was watching one of these expat videos about all these happy Americans living cheap in Mexico and one of the group said “and then there’s all this violence in the states”....I just shook my head and I wanted to ask him why they aren’t expatting in Juarez instead of their gated community....
