Massacre in Mexico sets off new fears

In Mexico 72 migrants were found dead on a ranch near the border of Texas. Three days later a prosecutor in the case was reported missing as well as a national television network was damaged by an explosion. They say this massacre is due to the rising violence in drug cartels in Mexico. They say that the massacre happened because of the criss crossing routes of drug trafficking and human smuggling into the U.S. Due to all the deaths and kidnappings the U.S ordered that children of united state diplomats living in Monterrey, Mexico must leave the country immediately. Also because a week ago a shootout occured in front of a private school common to American and Mexican executive students.

Drug cartels and human trafficking are serious problems in most of the world, and like we have seen in the past, the Government is paid to keep there mouth shut. As long as "drug lords" have money they can buy what ever, and who ever the need to get there "business" going. The amount of power these drug cartel have are massive. The control Police officers, elected officials, and as far as the Military. The drug lords know what the need to do and who to pay to get it done, but when there business is challenged, as it most likely was with this case, these cartels will kill in hundred's over getting caught. Among with the drug trade, Mexico is known for its large amounts of kid napping, which is the fear of other country's for their citizen's that are on vacation there. Which I think is a serious matter, but many, many of Mexico's citizens deal with this, by having there kids, and loved once kidnapped for ransom and having brutal ways to show the parents the are hostile, such as mailing fingers,ears, hands, and so on to the parents. The best way to deal with this problem in my opinion is dont show sign's of investigation and catch it in the actual act of drug trade or what ever it might be. Instead of putting people in danger by having public notified investigation, which makes the "drug lords" nervous and they kill good people thinking that will stop the investigation.
Good article, Nice details, really sad whats going on.
