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.

“Eventually the US may need to go into Mexico and clean things up if this stuff starts pouring over our border.”
I believe, although not necessarily due to Mexican cartels, it is already here but not publicized or promoted as such.
Just look at Chicago, New York and LA for examples of rampant out of control murders and drive by shootings, and to a lesser extent cities like St. Paul, Minnesota; Portland, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; Toledo, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Austin, Texas; Rochester, New York; and Albuquerque, New Mexico, all of which set new records for homicides in 2021.
The only difference I see is that our murdering thugs are lazy and just shoot indiscriminately as they drive by and allow the authorities to do the dirty work of collecting and disposing of the bodies.
Biden could stop the cartels power in one day...
And in the meantime, they're telling us we need to risk World War Three over the Ukraine (which most Americans couldn't find on a map of the world, if a Mexican cartel thug was pointing a gun at them & their lives depended on it)...
I should have explained.
Back in 2006 or 2007 the DEA published a map of cartels in the US. There was one and it was in Chicago. The next map I saw, around 2010 iirc, well into Obama's first term anyway and the cartel markers were all over the Country. Cartels being cartels I don't think of them moving into neighborhoods, it's more like occupying the neighborhood. Obamahoods.
Then there are the hoods in the business.
The incas were in South America, namely Peru, not Mexico.
“...a place where bodies were ripped apart and incinerated...”
What the Hell? Not even the Nazis did that. How do drug cartels need to kill 100,000 people?
Yes. Were similar and probably not isolated from each other. But probably at war.
Desert Genocide. Take the money,a carteel shot to the back of the head and move on.
The ‘press’ doesn’t care...
Is China’s in on it? They sure don’t care... \
Mexican police who cared are dead...
Biden doesn’t care. Hunter doesn’t care. Our ‘intelligence’ people don’t give a damn... and our WOKE military doesn’t care. Either do many democrats in DC...
Is that odd?
