More than 1,100 people have been slaughtered in a bloodbath of drug-related violence in one city just south of the U.S.-Mexico border this year – that’s nearly four victims each day – and some say it is just part of a large crisis that is will soon spill over the border.
The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for Americans who visit Mexico, citing Ciudad Juarez as a hotbed of criminal activity. A large Mexican metropolis in Chihuahua State bordering El Paso, Texas, Juarez is Mexico’s deadliest narcotics-war zone with two criminal gangs fighting for power – over city streets and drug-smuggling routes into the United States.
The State Department is warning U.S. citizens of escalating crime along the border, stating that 1,600 cars were stolen in Juarez in July alone. Public shootouts, muggings, murders and bank robberies are rampant, and Mexican criminals harass U.S. travelers along border regions.
“Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have taken on the characteristics of small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and, on occasion, grenades,” according to the State Department. “Firefights have taken place in many towns and cities across Mexico but particularly in northern Mexico, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez. The situation in northern Mexico remains fluid; the location and timing of future armed engagements cannot be predicted.”
[...] Watch your back in Mexico Hazard pay anyone? Seriously though, be smart we’re high-visibility targets down there. Remember that old section from our jepps about mexico ops?

aND THE TWO bORDER gUARDS ARE JAILED FOR STOPPING A DRUG FEALER.
wHAT HAS HAOOENED TO “OUR land of the free”?
Looks like it’s a good time to bring our troops home to actually defend the country.
Has anyone informed the U. S. colleges to post warnings on websites and dorm bulletin boards around holidays and spring break? I doubt that many students that party across the border know how bad it is getting in these towns. My son wanted to go with a group of his friends and thank goodness we talked them into going camping instead. Parents need to warn students to find other places to spend money such as U.S. beach towns. (I am sure Galveston and New Orleans would love to boost their economy.)
