Why Claim the Southern Border is Secure? » Publications » Family Security Matters: "On July 1, in Nogales, Mexico, at least 21 people were killed and nine wounded in a clash between two of Mexico’s most powerful drug trafficking organizations, the Sinaloa and Beltran-Leyva cartels. More than 4,300 people have been killed from drug cartel clashes in recent years in Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso, Texas. Just since 2006, more than 23,000 people have been killed in Mexico by drug cartels after President Felipe Calderon began his crackdown by using thousands of troops and federal police to stop them.
So don't tell anybody what I wanna do.
What made this latest incident of violence in Nogales so disconcerting to Americans is that the Nogales battle between the cartels is only 12 miles from the Arizona border. These cartels frequently fight for control of drug and human trafficking routes, but usually confine their gun battles deeper in the interior of Mexico. The smuggling routes in dispute obviously dealt with illegal entry into the United States through Arizona.
