WELCOME TO JUAREZ...

Mexicos Drug Cartel War

In El Paso, Texas, a mother finishes a bedtime story and tucks her daughter into bed, kissing her goodnight. After heading downstairs, she hears the distant pop of gunfire echoing through the crisp night air.

Must be Juarez, she thinks and enters the kitchen to finish the dishes. Why should she worry about the city across the border? After all, this is El Paso—the third-safest city in the United States.

Things have been changing though. There have been increased incidences of kidnapping. Refugees from war-torn Juarez have begun to cross the border, seeking shelter in the States.

The Mexican border town of 1.7 million had an estimated 1,600 drug related-murders in 2008, the death toll rising faster than in Baghdad. In the first days of 2009, over 30 were killed in the city from drug violence.

One speaks of failed states, Ciudad Juarez is a failed city, George W. Grayson, an expert on Mexico-U.S. relations at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, said. Its a no mans land. Its totally out of control (Associated Press).

Weve reached such a level of crisis here along the border that all solutions now have to be on the table, including lifting the prohibition of narcotics, El Paso City Councilman Beto ORourke said after the council signed a solidarity agreement with Juarez. Our national security is at stake (Dallas Morning News).

  • @lefty6584 .|.

  • What is it with people being racist? Btw i used to live there, my mom stills there and she lives the news just makes the situation look worst... ps theres also white and black people in méxico

  • @misterjay85 True, but in my case I was responding to an indirect accusation that Americans were claiming to own an entire continent, which Americans are not. So, I therefore gave the American perspective.

  • @lefty6584 Not every region shares the same academia, for example Europe recognizes the continent of America as does South America

  • thumbs up if you stopped watching after the mention of transvestite prostitutes

  • @ElectroBrows4 First of all, America is not a continent. No such continent exists. There are two continents in the region of the world known as the Americas: North America and South America. North America includes Canada, the USA, Mexico, and Central America. We're not the only "estadounidenses" (as used in Spanish) either, since Mexicans are from los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The term "USA people" does not exist in English probably because it sounds awkward. So we're left with "American".

  • @Fabio363... Dude ur fucking stupid... Remanber we are mexiCANAS NOT mexiCANt...!!!!!!

  • Luxxor, HardPop and Pockets Billiard's & Pool I love Juarez!!!!!

  • @KhazariaProject I agree, and in fact, they do have National Guard on the border, working with BP.

  • @713KLP dumb fuck, you realize they wouldn't just go after the bigots, they'd go after anyone who wasn't black or hispanic, and they would eventually turn on themselves.

    Not to mention, it'd be considered genocide.

    But it wouldn't happen anyways, because marshall law would be enacted, and you would see a lot of military in the streets.

    You'd probably see me rolling in a Bradley.
