Brutality In Mexico

We are taking more and more notice of Mexico lately. And it is a lot more than the immigrant problem. It is the drug trade, violence, human trafficking, you name it. The mass murder of 72 people hoping to illegally get into the USA was an unparalleled cowardly act of violence. There is another war out there.

The violence is constant in Tamaulipas, the troubled state where the 72 migrants were massacred.


Blindfolded and shot one by one, they included teens and even one pregnant woman. At least one came from as far as Brazil.
