Mexico’s Major City for Smuggling Drugs to US near Collapse

Last year there were more murders in Mexico than in Iraq. Ever notice how the MSM lists deaths in Iraq every day but seldom mention the larger number of, more violent, more barbarian, and greater threat to the US of the murders in Mexico?

It is politically correct and part of the left’s war on America to emphasize violence in Iraq.

It is politically correct to claim Mexican illegal immigrants are better than US citizens (they only come to do the work Americans won’t, they are good Christians … ad nauseum) and to ignore the war in Mexico spilling across into America.

But as documented in rare government reports, rare state department bulletins, rare MSM articles, and frequently by bloggers on the Internet (for example, please see here, here,and here. ) accounts of the deteriorating situation in Mexico continue to be published.

Juarez, Mexico (across the border from El Paso, TX) is near collapse. Some of the most barbaric murders and crimes occur here (for example: beheadings, serial rape and murder that has gone on for decades, a policeman’s head in an ice chest at the entrance to a police station, gun battles near schools and in shopping centers, and notes posted around the city with the names of police officers on the hit list …).

Even sending in the Mexican Army (itself corrupt and often under the control of the drug cartels) has not stopped the brazen openness of the murderers and their crimes.

This account gives some details here.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - Ciudad Juarez's police chief stepped down Friday after criminal gangs made a chilling demand: Resign or we will kill more local officials.

Public Safety Secretary Roberto Orduna announced he was leaving his post only hours after gunmen killed a police officer and a jail guard and left signs on their bodies saying they had fulfilled a promise made Wednesday to slay at least one officer every 48 hours until Orduna quits.

The slayings were a grim sign that criminal gangs are determined to control the police force of the biggest Mexican border city, with a population of 1.3 million people across from El Paso.

SNIP

A retired army major, Orduna took over as chief in May after former Public Safety Secretary Guillermo Prieto resigned and fled to El Paso following the slaying of his operations director.

For Orduna's protection, the city built his bedroom at the police station so he didn't have to go home. He also travels in different vehicles when he does go out.

Ciudad Juarez police have long come under attack, and many officers have quit out of fear for their lives, some after their names appeared on hit lists left in public throughout the city.

War Against Drug Cartels
Mexican police chief resigns following murders
February 21, 2009, 10:04

Ciudad Juarez' police chief Roberto Orduna resigned on Saturday after drug gangs threatened to kill a police officer every 48 hours and four other policemen, including his deputy, were brutally killed. More than 50 police officers were murdered last year in Ciudad Juarez, one of Mexico's most violent northern cities.

Orduna, a former soldier, took over the municipal police in Ciudad Juarez last year. The city saw an unprecedented 1,600 people killed in drug violence in 2008 as President Felipe Calderon's army-backed war on drug gangs sparked fresh turf wars between rival cartels across the country.

This Scale of Violence is Unprecedented

Imagine 1,600 acknowledged murders last year in a city of 1.3 million. In addition to the 1,600 murders, other murders go unreported, and an unknown number of people each year just disappear. It is just a guess, but perhaps as many as 3,000 people were murdered in Juarez by the drug cartels last year. In any case, 1,600 or 3,000 in a city of 1.3 million is a very high murder rate.

Also consider a police chief’s office with a built in bathroom and sleeping quarters because he is too afraid to leave his office, and when he does, he sneaks out in disguise and in a different vehicle each time. Police in Juarez, Mexico are not in danger of losing control to the drug cartels; they have lost it. The cartels rule the city, the police hide.

Just so there is no mistake about the murders and barbarism that is rampant in Juarez and throughout the collapsing parts of Mexico, there is graphic evidence. I have chosen to provide a way to view these pictures rather than show them here because they are so graphic and shocking.

If you, as a reader accept the above discussions of the brutality as far surpassing the barbarism of what we have seen in the Middle East, there is no need to view the link.

If you are an open borders advocate, or remain unconvinced that the most significant national security risk to the United States comes from Mexico, go ahead and copy, then paste the web site link into your browser and view the shocking pictures.
