Mexico Is Not Ready for Any Public Health Crisis

There is one good aspect to the coronavirus event, and that is the rediscovery of borders: they are so handy in keeping out people who might cause the preventable deaths of Americans from disease.

Unfortunately we face the Third World to our south and the border there is inadequate.

Perhaps worse is the cavalier attitude […]

Mexico Cartel Assassin Reveals All

Sunday’s New York Times featured a front-page article about a Mexican gang assassin with a photo spanning five out of six columns:

Curiously, the story immediately dived into the brutality of a gang training, including the teacher’s instantaneous murder of a student who refused to chop up a corpse.

Usually the Times like to […]

Mexico Immigration Deal May Disappoint

Many friends of American sovereignty were pleased to see the Mexicans agree to President Trump’s demands on the border backed up by tariff threats. Still, the idea that the communist Presidente Obrador will uphold his part of the deal is quite a stretch for many reasons.

First, Mexico is not a friend to the […]

South of the Border, Drug War Racks Up Record Murders in Tijuana

Sunday’s Los Angeles Times headlined the drug crime in Tijuana with a rather raw picture of a shooting victim, killed in the current conflict.

The photo caption below reads: A Red Cross paramedic examines the body of a man shot in an alleyway in Tijuana, where a record 2518 people were slain in 2018.

Mexico: Murder Rates at Record High

Is there a better argument for a border wall and increased security overall than the criminal nature of our southern neighbor? The open border has admitted millions of basic job thieves (driving down wages for America’s own working class) but has also allowed Mexican crime syndicates to enter and operate throughout the United States for […]

Acapulco Falls from Tourist Mecca to Murder Capital

The Washington Post’s front page on Friday was a reminder of the crime catastrophe occurring next door in terms of drug cartels terrorizing Mexico. Acapulco has become the deadliest city in the country, which is quite a decline from its former standing as a top tourism town.

Acapulco used to be a glamorous vacation […]

Mexico Murders Reach 20-Year High for May

With all the media chatter about threats to America from Nork nukes and such, it’s easy to forget the ongoing dangers posed by our thuggish neighbor to the south. Breitbart had a chilling headline this week about increased cartel violence: U.S. Border Agents Warned of ‘Open Warfare’ with ‘Grenades’ in Mexico at Texas Border. Mexican […]

Survey: Mexico Is Now the World’s Deadliest Conflict Zone after Syria

Americans don’t generally think of themselves as living next to a war zone, but perhaps we should, in light of some figures released recently: in 2016 Mexico was the second most deadly nation on earth, second only to Syria. In that year, Mexico experienced 23,000 deaths from the criminal cartels’ conflicts, which surpassed the body […]

Neighboring Mexico Is One of the World’s Deadliest Places for Journalists

Tuesday’s Los Angeles Times helpfully spotlighted the terrible threat under which Mexican journalists operate. In fact, reporters who cover the organized crime beat too diligently are in serious danger of being killed by the powerful drug cartels.

America’s southern neighbor is one of the most perilous nations on earth for journalists, ranking in the […]
