  1. Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Tijuana are the three worst cities.  If everybody in America stopped doing drugs tomorrow, the problem would go away--but I don't think that's going to happen.  There's such a huge demand for drugs in this country that there's a huge amount of money to be made by the manufacturers and suppliers. And each drug cartel wants to keep other cartels out of their area, even to the extent of having firefights in broad daylight in the middle of the street, and sometimes, innocents get caught in the crossfire.  The Mexican Army has been brought into the fight to help law enforcement subdue the cartels.

    Even if all the cartels could be locked up tomorrow, that wouldn't solve the problem.  Because the reduced flow of drugs into the US would just drive up prices and other Mexicans would step up to make the money.


  2. I travel often to Juarez on Business trips and i can tell you this, all of that shootings and kills happen among people who are involved in some way with drug traffic to the USA, regular John Does like most of the people in Juarez don´t have any problem.

    The fights between cartels are getting worst due to the government action to eradicated the problem, some good policeman are getting shot for enforcing the law, other for being involved in the drug business but in a rival cartel.

    In fact every body knows that the mayor drug lords in Juarez have american citizenship and they cross the border through the express line. So not all the Americans crossing are simple citizens, belive me on this.
