Duh!!! Of course they're coming to escape the violence, get shelter for their own families so they don't suffer retaliation.
Why do you think these people fear they are targets and now the cartels have said they will follow their targets over. Wake up man.
I am woken, and following this very closely. Too bad the media where I live doesn't report the border violence. Only the extremely pro-illegal univision does.
Are you the national spokesman for all Mexican immigrants?
Actually I've never stated that they couldn't or could afford the homes. I don't generalize on that. But surely you do. I don't say "Mexicans don't afford this!! thats proposterous!"

The national media isn't reporting much at all. I'm not sure why.
This is what I meant about the time lines:
Juárez violence boosts quests for El Paso homes

Now today the cartels have said scrap that, they will come after them, they will get them regardless.
As bad as the cartels are, they really aren't going after completely innocent people although they could end up being innocent bystanders. I live on the border and I'm not afraid personally although I know the bloodshed and inter-cartel wars are picking up and moving to this side of the border.

Okay -- maybe you know very little about El Paso. There are no movie stars here, no oil tycoons. There are now GMC plants with high paid CEOs. It's a low wage town.
Very wealthy Mexicans like maybe some movie stars would tend to move to Hollywood or Miami. There used to be Juan Gabriel but not anymore. Even he didn't have big mansions over here, a rather modest second home was all.
Un comando armado irrumpió ayer en el bar Chamucos, en la zona del Pronaf, abrió fuego contra los asistentes, logró ejecutar a dos hombres y dejó lesionadas a tres personas más.
La autoridad estatal reportó que en el lugar recogieron 68 elementos balÃsticos calibre 7.62 x 39 como los utilizados por el arma AK-47, mejor conocida como “cuerno de chivo” y de .223 correspondientes a fusiles de asalto, como el R-15 o Vector.
En los primeros minutos de ayer de cinco a seis hombres que se cubrÃan los rostros con pasamontañas que portaban armas de fuego ingresaron de forma violenta al centro de diversión, ubicado en las calles Ignacio MejÃa y Fernando Montes de Oca y de inmediato en el vestÃbulo realizaron los primeros disparos al tiempo que gritaban “todos al suelo”, dijo un testigo que no proporcionó sus datos personales por temor.
Una vez en el interior del antro accionaron sus armas en varias ocasiones.
De acuerdo con el testigo, parece que los sicarios tenÃan ubicadas a sus vÃctimas y a corta distancia les dispararon. Tras cometer el doble homicidio los asesinos se retiraron, pero casi de inmediato regresaron y volvieron a realizar detonaciones.
Una de las vÃctimas mortales sufrió nueve impactos de bala y exposición de masa encefálica, la cual quedó esparcida en el lugar.
--- Crowded nightclub, 68 bullets and just the two intended targets left dead. 3 people with them or near them were injured but they aim to kill. They have no reason to just randomly shoot at or target people, that's not what it's all about, but you don't want to be in their way.

Here is a machine translation of malamute's Spanish language post, I have attempted to correct some of the more confusing Spanish to English verbiage using the original Spanish text as a guide.
Thanks for posting the article about the shooting at Chamuco's. People need to understand that the shootings are not random. They are NOT targeting the bar, or its clients. They target cartel "members/employees" or whatever you want to call them that go into the night clubs. It is sad that legitimate businesses like Chamuco's have to be in the middle of this situation.
