The Japanese should send a unit of J-cops to deal with the outlandishness of Juarez. They should have the place cleaned up... NEVER!!!! It must be worse than Faluga (sp?).

One unit of Jcops to deal with it? uhg. People go missing here, close to the border almost every day. Mexico pretty much canceled Christmas Caroling and parties because of these drug traffickers. Families won't drive through the border anywhere if they're smart. But now it's even risky to fly into/out of Mexico because the drug cartels have people watching and they will kidnap you if they get any idea that you have family in america. They will cut off your fingers and mail them to your family adn demand ransom and if they don't pay it, they will kill you promptly; cut your body into parts and throw it on your family's lawn. American money goes a long way in MX. They'll do anything to get as much of it as they can. The larger cities are a little safer than outlying areas with smaller population. As a white person and being female and not speaking fluent spanish, I would never go to MX right now. That would be suicide.
What America and MX should really do is send TANKs and Military Armoured vehicles to the border along these highways and kill every one of those SOBs who tries to come close to the border. Bomb them. Shoot them. Torture them. It has to stop! Unless you live out here close to it, you really don't understand how extreme the situation truly is. These Drug traffickers are vicious. And they hide their drugs in hot sauce so the drug-dogs don't smell it. >D haha.

That headline sounds like the trailer for a Robert Rodriguez flick. Then the introduction of foreign police (complete with a KOBAN and cameras) as the first writer suggested would seal the deal on a Rodriquez style bloodbath, except that's already the reality so find a different angle. Gotta love the 20 year old college undergrad becomes police chief concept. No law enforcement experience? No problem. Here's your slingshot.

For more fantasy in this vein, I recommend the recent Luis Urrea novel Into the Beautiful North about a Kurosawa-obsessed samurai-cosplaying trashpicker from Tijuana who befriends a group of young Mexicans on their way north in search of relatives and freedom from what the second writer above is talking about.
