For those of you living in El Paso or Southern NM, you should be very familiar with this. Over 600 murders so far this year, getting worse every day. It's almost becoming a joke..."an alleged drug cartel dispute."

All this recent violence, not to mention the ongoing unsolved murders of hundreds of young women found strangled around Juarez over the past decade.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

Last week they went into a police station and killed the commander, no arrests made of course. Everyone thinks it's an inside job, a police station and no one stops an assassin from coming in, killing a cop and leaving.

Now they just got a prison guard. Who knows what the Mexican military is doing, because the killings went up after they arrived.

Check this out:

More From Mexico Fleeing To U.S. For Political Asylum - News Story - KFOX El Paso

A Mexican reporter begging for asylum, fearing for his life:

Gutierrez Soto talked to KFOX by phone at a detention facility in El Paso. He said after doing stories on Mexican soldiers, his life was threatened.

"I think their motive was me reporting on the executions and killings committed by the Mexican authorities," he said.

These are drugs friend, Mexico is fighting, if not, everything would calm, but proof that the government is winning the battle are all these murders.

The police is infiltrated by narco, for this reason many murders these days ..

This has happened in Tijuana, Laredo, Monterrey and other cities, they now play in Juarez and Culiacan, but soon calm again as the other cities.

Time will tell.

From the numbers of businesses in Juarez shutting down and the wealthy of Juarez moving over in very large numbers, I'm not so confident. How does it benefit Juarez when more of it's established move over to El Paso? Who then pays the taxes to maintain a police force? Who provides stability and infrastructure?

I think this problem should have been addressed many years ago.

Mexico had better do something------fast.

Otherwise; that nation could descend into anarchy effectively forcing the USA to step in and take control of at least the northern Mx states.

And; that is not a joke

It may not be a joke, but the idea sure is funny.
