reuters: Federal forces sully Mexico’s war on drugs Ciudad Juarez is a city wrecked by Mexico’s drug violence. Although official figures vary, the city this month likely surpassed 10,000 homicides in the past four years. That’s more than Afghanistan’s civilian casualties in the same period and more than double the number of U.S. troops killed in the entire Iraq war. My family in Texas doesn’t cross the border into Tamaulipas any more. It’s like Thunderdome and not in a funny way. And you wonder why undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central Erica don’t leave the US? Because it isn’t safe. From Reynosa to Antigua. And mostly because of the voracious American appetite for drugs

Federal forces sully Mexico’s war on drugs

Ciudad Juarez is a city wrecked by Mexico’s drug violence. Although official figures vary, the city this month likely surpassed 10,000 homicides in the past four years. That’s more than Afghanistan’s civilian casualties in the same period and more than double the number of U.S. troops killed in the entire Iraq war.

My family in Texas doesn’t cross the border into Tamaulipas any more. It’s like Thunderdome and not in a funny way. And you wonder why undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central Erica don’t leave the US? Because it isn’t safe. From Reynosa to Antigua. And mostly because of the voracious American appetite for drugs
