Some 37,000 people in Mexico are categorized as “missing” by the government. The vast majority are believed to be dead, victims of the country’s spiraling violence that has claimed more than 250,000 lives since 2006. The country’s murder rate has more than doubled to 26 per 100,000 residents, five times the U.S. figure.
Because the missing aren’t counted as part of the country’s official murder tally, it is likely Mexico’s rate itself is higher.
The killing and the number of missing grow each year. Last year, 5,500 people disappeared, up from 3,400 in 2015. Mexico’s murders are up another 18% through September this year.

This time around, the horror in Mexico is bigger and its causes more complex. Many of the disappeared in recent years are believed to be the victims of violence unleashed by criminal gangs fighting to control drug routes and other lucrative businesses such as extortion, kidnapping and the theft of gasoline from pipelines, often with the complicity of police forces, government officials say.
“It’s a crisis of civilization in Mexico,” said Javier Sicilia, a poet and victims’ advocate whose son was murdered in 2011. “It’s diabolical—an unprecedented perversity to disappear human beings and erase any trace of them from the world.”

Nancy Gocher, spokeswoman for Serapaz, a group that helps coordinate survivor and search groups throughout the country, said they believe only four in 10 disappearances are reported to authorities. Michael Chamberlin, who consults for several human-rights organizations, said the total number of disappeared could be four times the official figure.
The main reason for not reporting is fear of reprisals by judicial authorities, criminals, and police, especially municipal police, who in many parts of Mexico collude with criminal gangs.

Time for Mexicans to turn on their elites and the drug kingpins and take over their country.
And yet, the Mexican Federal Police escort the caravan invaders to the US border along with a lot of help for other Mexican citizens. Let them all rot in their own cesspool.
that’s terrible, the US should immediately airlift in replacements for the dead and missing.
Spain should send over some Conquistadors who can pacify the population and carry out some needed cleansing. These primitive people are not capable of civilization.
And, our Leftist betters want to import that into our country.
But...but...
Mexico has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world.
Fast and furious guns in narcoterrorists’ hands are part of this; Obama helped raise these numbers.
The leftists want to import that into our culture
And the Democrats want that mess here.
If the leftist Hollywood celebretards and other leftists would stop buying Mexicos drugs things might calm down a bit down there.
Let’s by all means let millions of people in (mostly young men) and grant them citizenship and don’t even check to see if they are gang members. Then let’s disarm the law-abiding citizens while letting the gangs run everything. The Democrats have a plan.
Mexico needs a civil war more than we do.
Not much more, but more.
Montezuma’s revenge?
More propaganda from the Wall Street Journal to convince US to give up our country without a fight.
Rather than fix their own problems maybe they could export the trouble makers to America?
We have at least 10% of their population here, time to send them home.
I was curious why Mexico ended up so bad, so I took a look at it’s Constitution. It’s essentially socialist with the means to change it near impossible. Socialism not only turns states into murder machines it corrupts the souls of those who try and believe in it.

The winners would be Maduro and Castro. The misguided Bush Doctrine has been to let illegals into the US as a way of relieving pressure, so that wouldn’t happen.
