Mexican Butterflies: ‘The dead women of Juárez’ | rbo2
July 25th, 2011 on 10:35 am[...] There were more than 3,000 murders in 2010. There have been 150 murders so far this month and 1,264 year-to-date. [...]

In 2009, NPR analyzed thousands of news releases on the federal attorney general’s website announcing arrests for organized crime, weapons and drug offenses. The information surveyed spanned from the day Calderon assumed the presidency in December 2006. The analysis showed that Nationwide, 44 percent of all cartel defendants are with the Zetas and Gulf cartels. Only 12 percent of the defendants are with the Sinaloa cartel. The numbers contradict the Mexican government, which claims it has arrested twice the percentage of Sinaloa gang members.
“I think you’ve identified an issue of concern, and that is, why is the Sinaloa doing so much better than the others and why is the Sinaloa cartel been the one that has escaped a lot of the prosecutions compared to the other cartel numbers?”
— U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), a former federal prosecutor who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, when asked to review the NPR analysis.
NPR’s analysis is supported by a Mexican law professor and organized crime expert, Edgardo Buscaglia, who has done his own analysis of cartel arrests.
“If you look at the main organized crime group in Mexico, that is, the Sinaloan confederation, it has been left relatively untouched. The Sinaloa has been clearly the winner of all that competition among organized crime groups. And as a result of that, they have gained more economic power, they have been able to corrupt with more frequency and corrupt with more scope. Now you see that Sinaloa is the most powerful criminal group, not just in Mexico, but all over Latin America,”
— Law professor and organized crime expert. Edgardo Buscaglia
“Has the Sinaloa infiltrated the Mexican government? Absolutely. Has the Sinaloa infiltrated the Mexican military? Absolutely.”
— Texas Congressman Michael McCaul
“When the Sinaloan cartel began to be protected by all the apparatus of the government after 2001, it felt the power for the first time in history to occupy plazas that for dozens of years belonged to other cartels. So you saw them take on the Gulf cartel in Nuevo Laredo [in 2005], My hypothesis, after five years of investigation, is that Joaquin Guzman Loera is the best example of corruption in Mexico.”
— Anabel Hernandez, an award-winning investigative reporter who has spent five years researching a book on Guzman.

Our southern neighbor is basically turning to crap…..I don’t see a solution short of a complete collapse or revolution……Worked with plenty of hard-working mexican nationals and have no problem with a big boost of Guest Worker Programs…..Let these folks in WITH the controls of GWP…..Then, SECURE our borders and let Mexico suffer….Sorry, THEY have to change….We have done enough for them…..

So when the revolution happens we will be praying that we had Army Dixisions here to protect us. By that time it will be too late.
