For the investigators, the human foot — burned, but with some fabric still attached — was the tipoff: Until recently, this squat, ruined house was a place where bodies were ripped apart and incinerated, where the remains of some of Mexico’s missing multitudes were obliterated.
How many disappeared in this cartel “extermination site” on the outskirts of Nuevo Laredo, miles from the U.S. border? After six months of work, forensic technicians still don’t dare offer an estimate. In a single room, the compacted, burnt human remains and debris were nearly 2 feet deep.
Uncounted bone fragments were spread across 75,000 square feet of desert scrubland. Twisted wires, apparently used to tie the victims, lie scattered amid the scrub.
Each day, technicians place what they find — bones, buttons, earrings, scraps of clothing — in paper bags labeled with their contents: “Zone E, Point 53, Quadrant I. Bone fragments exposed to fire.”
They are sent off to the forensic lab in the state capital Ciudad Victoria, where boxes of paper bags wait their turn along with others. They will wait a long time; there are not enough resources and too many fragments, too many missing, too many dead.
At the Nuevo Laredo site — to which The Associated Press was given access this month — the insufficiency of investigations into Mexico’s nearly 100,000 disappearances is painfully evident. There are 52,000 unidentified people in morgues and cemeteries, not counting places like this one, where the charred remains are measured only by weight.
And people continue to disappear. And more remains are found.
“We take care of one case and 10 more arrive,” said Oswaldo Salinas, head of the Tamaulipas state attorney general’s identification team.

This is what the Uniparty wants to turn the USA into with their open border policy.
Eventually the US may need to go into Mexico and clean things up if this stuff starts pouring over our border.
It already is, in case you haven’t noticed.
Build the wall.
No. No one seems to care.
There’s a lot of evil that happens in this world.
This evil right in our neighborhood hurts us more than anything in some European backwater.
Modern day Auschwitz ovens operating right next to our border and the Mexinazis have free reign to cross it any time, any where.
Cartels represent the worst in humanity. I wonder how many have died at the hands of cartel members. It has to number in the millions. At what point does the world step in and wage actual warfare against those channeling the worst atrocities of WW2? We have a true atrocity occurring in Mexico. Crimes against humanity. I care. Do you?
Can you blame Mexicans for wanting to escape the shiphole that their nation has become?
The US should be helping our southern neighbor instead of Ukraine. But that might stop the flow of donations from the cartels to our political class.
Their great culture is seeping though our porous border. But hey, we need to spend billions protecting Ukraine’s border.
Joel Arciniega-Saenz, 25, of Las Cruces, was arrested Sunday night and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 51-year-old James Garcia.

Yep.
Ukraine is nothing.
I suspect there is too much money flowing from the cartels into our elected leaders pockets.

It would take a lot to “clean things up” down there. Mexican culture, for all its charm, is unbelievably corrupt and dysfunctional. Like our misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, the goal would have to be to change that.
I’ve thought that for a long time. Clean out the cartels. Mexico is an enemy, not a neighbor
Thousands are dead each year in the U.S. from fentanyl distributed by the cartels. At some point we’ll have to do something about it. I think the invasion and annexation of Northern Mexico is a possible solution, but we’ll need a great president with the resolve to save us before that happens.
Doesn’t Neil Young have a song about that?
The American military: killing our way to a better tomorrow!
