Mexico, not a safe place for Americans...Honestly not a safe place for Mexicans either.
So why is their so many Americans being killed in Mexico and nothing being said in the MSM? are they not High Profile deaths? Not enough controversy surrounding their deaths?
or is it more of the same BS of not saying anything other than Mexico is a beautiful and safe place to visit?
El Paso Times
Homicide was the leading cause of death for 119 U.S. citizens who died in Mexico and were reported to the U.S. State Department between Jan. 1 and June 30, according to statistics.
Sixty-five Americans died as a result of shootings and other violent crimes; 12 of them were killed in Juárez and 13 in Tijuana. Both are border cities with high levels of drug violence.
One homicide of a U.S. citizen was reported during that period in Meoqui, Chihuahua, and another one died in a vehicle accident, also in Chihuahua.
"The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico increased from 35 in 2007 to 111 in 2010," the State Department said in a statement.
Figures suggest that homicides involving U.S. citizens could surpass last year's total.

Authorities Bust Massive Southwest Drug Smuggling Ring
Authorities say the ring virtually monopolized smuggling routes along an 80-mile section of the Arizona-Mexico border from Yuma to just east of the small Tohono O'odham Nation town of Sells.
Yep, not a reason in the world to worry about Illegal Immigration or a secure border, just nothing to see here dumbass's move along...
Actually more reason to have an armed Military presence along the border with explicit orders to shoot and kill!
Its a tough way to go, just consider it a "No GO Zone"
Foxnews
Arizona authorities have disrupted a Mexican drug cartel's distribution network, arresting dozens of smugglers in dismantling a ring responsible for carrying more than $33 million worth of drugs through the state's western desert every month, officials said Monday.
The ring is believed be tied to the Sinaloa cartel -- Mexico's most powerful -- and responsible for smuggling more than 3.3 million pounds of marijuana, 20,000 pounds of cocaine and 10,000 pounds of heroin into the U.S. through Arizona over the past five years, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Their efforts in that time generated an estimated $2 billion, according to ICE

Illegals in Alabama rush to make plans for kids
"Every time I leave I don't know if I will come back," Patino, 27, said through tears. "I can't stop working. My daughters need shoes and other things."
Well maybe that's what goes through your head when your breaking the law!
If a person were to rob a bank or Murder someone and get away with it, they would feel the same thing, Am I going to be caught today !
Tugging at peoples "Heart strings" is bullshit in this situation, Your Breaking the Law Idiot! Other peoples kids need shoes too, Hell my kids do, and I can't go and get all the free assistance that you asswipes can because you are Illegal Immigrants !
SFGate
Terrified by Alabama's strict new immigration crackdown, parents living in the state illegally say they are doing something that was unthinkable just days ago - asking friends, relatives, co-workers and acquaintances to take their children if they're arrested or deported.
Many illegal immigrants signed documents in the past week allowing others to care for their children if needed, assistance groups say, and a couple living illegally in nearby Shelby County extracted a promise from the man's boss to send their three young children - all U.S. citizens - to Mexico should they be jailed under the law.
A key sponsor of the measure, Republican state Sen. Scott Beason, said such concerns weren't raised when legislators were considering the bill, and he wonders if the stories now are designed to "pull on heart strings" and build sympathy for illegal immigrants.
But for Maria Patino - who prays every time she leaves home - even a chance encounter with police could end with her two elementary-age children being left alone or taken to foster care if she and her husband are sent back to Mexico. Both are in the country illegally and have no friends or relatives close enough to take in the kids.
"Every time I leave I don't know if I will come back," Patino, 27, said through tears. "I can't stop working. My daughters need shoes and other things."

El Paso Times
Border Patrol agents have found a bag full of assault rifles, other weapons and what they believe to be plastic explosives hidden near the community of Fronton along the Rio Grande.
The agency says its agents were on patrol in Fronton, a rural area about 250 miles south of San Antonio Tuesday when they found a black bag hidden in the brush near the river. Inside there were six assault rifles, one grenade launcher, one rocket launcher, 20 ammunition magazines and three packages of what appeared to be the plastic explosive known as C-4.

Mexican police cross into US
Nothing to see here, those were not Mexican Federal Police you saw crossing into the United States, move along.
ElPasoTimes
Mexican federal police momentarily crossed the Rio Grande into the United States on Thursday morning in an incursion under investigation by both countries, a U.S. Border Patrol spokesman said.
The incursion occurred east of the Zaragoza Bridge while three hunters were on the U.S. side on the first day of dove season.
Channel 9-KTSM reported a relative of the hunters told the station that gunmen in Mexico fired at the hunters and that the gunmen crossed the border and stole their chairs.
Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said border agents and Texas Parks and Wildlife officers responded immediately. There were no reported injuries.
Agents arriving at the scene saw Mexican federal police crossing the river back into Mexico after they had been on the U.S. side, Mosier said.

Mexican Army, Federal Agents Raid Casino After Deadly Arson Attack
Mexico is one of the most confusing countries around, their police, Military and their Government are all beyond corrupt and they are getting tough with supposed Illegal gambling.
They must not be getting their cut.
Foxnews
Hundreds of soldiers and federal agents are raiding casinos in this northern city, authorities said Saturday, two days after an arson attack on a gambling house killed 52 people and stunned a country that had become numb to massacres and beheadings.
Security forces had so far confiscated about 1,500 slot machines at 11 casinos in Monterrey and its surroundings and arrested three people, Mexico's tax agency said. It said the continuing operation was meant to verify whether casinos had paid taxes or introduced slot machines illegally.
Thursday's arson attack by gunmen was a macabre milestone in a conflict that the government says has claimed more than 35,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006. Others put the death toll near 40,000.
The torching of the Casino Royale has raised questions over Mexico's regulatory controls for fast-spreading gambling houses.

Mexico Arrests Trafficker Accused of 600 Killings
Good news for the mexican people , but how many more like him are out there?
600 people is just a fraction of the 45,000 killed in Mexico since this has all began !
To make a difference the Mexican military will have to do a little better.
Foxnews
Mexican police arrested the suspected leader of a brutal drug gang called "The Hand with Eyes" and he has confessed to helping carry out or ordering more than 600 murders, authorities said Thursday.
Oscar Osvaldo Garcia Montoya, 36, was arrested in an overnight raid on a presumed safe house on the outskirts of Mexico City, State of Mexico Attorney General Alfredo Castillo said at a news conference.
"The Hand with Eyes" is one of the groups blamed for bringing the drug violence typical of northern Mexico to Mexico City and its surrounding areas.
The organization is known for extreme violence, including decapitations. Many of its victims have been drug dealers and rivals killed as the group fought for control of drug sales in Mexico state, an area that includes many of the poor suburbs ringing the capital.
Castillo said Garcia is a deserter from the Mexican marines who worked as a bodyguard for major cartel figures including Edgar Valdez, aka "La Barbie," a top assassin for the Beltran Leyva cartel until he was arrested in 2010.

News Mexico town's police force quits after attack
I would quit too, death is not worth a few pesos a day.
Associated press
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — An entire 20-man police force resigned in a northern Mexican town after a series of attacks that killed the police chief and five officers over the last three months, state officials said Thursday.
The officers' resignation Thursday left the 13,000 people of Ascension without local police services, Chihuahua state chief prosecutor Carlos Manuel Salas said. State and federal police have moved in to take over police work, he said.
The mass resignation appeared to be connected to a Tuesday attack by gunmen that killed three of the town's officers, Salas said.
But it wasn't the first deadly attack on the police department this year.
In mid-May, police chief Manuel Martinez, who had been in office just seven months, was gunned down with two other officers on a nearby highway. The three had been kidnapped a day before police found their bodies riddled with bullets in the back seat of a sedan.

Mexico homicides rose 23 percent in 2010
24,374 murders in Mexico last year according to the Somewhat official number, the number is probably higher; Mexico suffers from serious under reporting of incidents and how things really happen south of our border.
24,374 + 19,000 = 43,374, gee, that is a lot more than the 35,000 overall since 2006 that they keep saying, a safe bet to say well over 50,000 have been murdered in the 4 or 5 years of drug wars in Mexico.
I can't wait for the 2011 report.
Start making your vacation plans now.
El Paso Times
MEXICO CITY (AP) - The number of homicides in Mexico rose by nearly a quarter in 2010 compared to the year before as the drug war intensified across the country, Mexican statisticians said Thursday.
The National Institute of Statistics and Geography recorded 24,374 homicides over the course of last year, a 23 percent increase from 19,803 in 2009. Last year's figure represented 22 killings for every 100,000 residents in the country.
Many but not all of the homicides were committed by organized crime organizations, the institute told The Associated Press.
Violence has risen in many Mexican regions as a result of drug trafficking and other organized criminal activity. President Felipe Calderon's office has said that more than 15,000
According to the statistics institute, the U.S.-bordering state of Chihuahua saw the highest number of homicides with 4,747. Sinaloa, in northwestern Mexico, registered 2,505.
racial profiling, In Detroit
Border agents patrol the Borders.
Illegal Immigrants from Mexico are the main source of illegal immigration.
Mexicans, come from Mexico.
Border agents tend to look at Mexicans when they are doing their job, More than they would look at me, A Caucasian American.
While working in Texas for two years, I did a lot of site seeing everywhere you go in El Paso beyond the city is a border patrol check station, I was asked the same line of questions as Mr.Arguellas Jr. and at times made to feel like a criminal; the border agents where doing their jobs in both cases.
No offense Mr. Arguellas, but blame your people flooding into the U.S. illegally for this situation, the Border agents where doing their job, And think for a second... how does a border agent find illegal aliens from Mexico without looking at Mexicans.
Detroit Free Press
On a sunny afternoon last month, Francisco Arguelles Jr. was fishing for silver bass along the Detroit River near Jefferson when a Border Patrol agent pulled up.
About 50 other people were around him, but Arguelles said the agent came straight to him and his brother -- the only Latinos there. The agent asked for identification, then started peppering the U.S. citizens with questions: Where are you from? When was the last time you were in Mexico? How do I know you're not an immigrant?
Arguelles, 28, said he told the agent, "I was born in Detroit."
But soon, four more agents arrived. They eventually left, but the Detroit brothers said they were shook up -- two of a growing number of metro Detroit Latinos who accuse federal agents of racial profiling.

He was discovered stabbed repeatedly and bound with duct tape, according to the releases, which did not identify Dieppa by name.

Army Uncovers Mexico's Largest Marijuana Plantation
A 300 acre pot field, and nobody it was there?
Foxnews
Mexican soldiers found the largest marijuana plantation ever detected in Mexico, a huge field covering almost 300 acres, the Defense Department said Thursday.
The plantation is four times larger than the previous record discovery by authorities at a ranch in northern Chihuahua state in 1984.
The pot plants sheltered under black screen-cloth in a huge square on the floor of the Baja California desert, more than 150 miles south of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego.
Army Gen. Alfonso Duarte said the screening, which is often used by regular farmers to protect crops from too much sun or heat, made it difficult to detect from the air what was growing underneath.
It was only when soldiers on the ground reached the isolated area Tuesday that they found thousands of pot plants as high as 2.5 yards tall. The average height of the plants was about 1.5 yards. Duarte said they were not yet ready for harvest.

At Least 40 Killed in Mexico in 24 Hours
A nice weekend to be vacationing in Mexico.
Clubbing in Monterrey, touring the outskirts of Mexico City looking at all the beheaded bodies, Sweet !

Foxnewshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
MEXICO CITY – Mexican officials blamed turf wars between some of the country's most brutal drug cartels for a wave of violence across the nation that killed more than 40 people in three attacks, including 21 people massacred in a night club in the northern business capital of Monterrey, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
The bloodiest attack took place Friday night at the gritty Sabino Gordo bar when gunmen with assault rifles shot down patrons and workers in Monterrey, a business center that became a battleground between the Zetas drug gang and the Gulf Cartel from the neighboring state of Tamaulipas.
That same day, 11 people were found shot to death in Chalco, just outside Mexico City. One person survived the attack. On Saturday, the decapitated bodies of 10 people, including three women, turned up in the northern city of Torreon in the trunk of a vehicle.
The carnage was the latest evidence that despite the capture of many top cartel leaders, Mexico's government was making little headway in its battle against escalating drug violence.
During the last four years, drug-related violence claimed at least 42,000 lives, according to tallies by Mexican newspapers

Jesus Enrique Rejon Aguilar is identified as third in command of the criminal organization founded by former elite soldiers. Over the course of a decade, it went from being the military arm of the Gulf Cartel to its own drug-trafficking organization.
Rejon was one of Mexico's most-wanted men and the U.S. State Department had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Wednesday condemned a Border Patrol agent's fatal shooting of a Mexican man who allegedly struck another agent with a nail-studded post. The union representing agents called the triggerman a hero.
The victim was shot once after he hit the agent in the head with the nail-studded piece of wood that was about 3 feet long and resembled a table leg, said San Diego police Lt. Ernie Herbert. He was about to throw a rock when the other agent fired.
The victim fell on the Mexican side of the fence near San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, where he died Tuesday night, Herbert said.
Mexican authorities identified the victim as Jose Alfredo Yanez, 40, of Tijuana. Heriberto Garcia, the Baja California state human rights ombudsman, said Yanez worked at a towing company and had a young child with his 18-year-old girlfriend, who is five months' pregnant with their second child.
The Border patrol agents have family also, does that matter to any pos Illegal immigrant trying to sneak into America?
If this POS was worried about his family maybe he should not have been running away from them and attacking a border patrol officer in the process
No Border Patrol agents were seriously hurt.
Calderon wrote on Twitter that he discussed the killing with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a meeting of regional leaders in Guatemala City.
"I demanded punishment for the guilty," he wrote.
the guilty were punished the little illegal pos was killed for his neglegent stupidity
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department urged U.S. authorities to swiftly investigate and questioned the "use of firearms to repel an attack with stones."
The union that represents Border Patrol agents defended the killing. Shawn Moran, a spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, said the agent likely saved his colleague's life or spared him serious injury. The triggerman has been an agent for three years.
"The guy's a hero," said Moran. "He's a relatively junior agent, but he showed great poise in dealing with a really bad situation."
