TAXCO, Mexico — At least 55 bodies have been recovered from an abandoned silver mine that became a dumping ground for apparent victims of Mexico's drug violence, authorities said Monday. The search for more victims ended over the weekend at the mine on the outskirts of Taxco, a colonial-era tourist town famous for its silver jewelry, said Albertico Guinto, attorney general for the state of Guerrero. Guinto said the overall toll could still rise, however, as forensic examiners try to determine whether other human remains, clothing and shoes found in the nearly 500-foot-deep (150-meter-deep) shaft correspond to victims already included in the tally. Most of the bodies have not been identified, but prosecutors recently said one was a recently kidnapped prison director. At least 15 people have been detained in the case. Police discovered the mass grave in late May based on a tip after the arrest of an organized crime suspect in the nearby city of Iguala. Also Monday, authorities in the Caribbean resort of Cancun were working to identify six bodies found in a cave over the weekend. Quintana Roo state attorney general Francisco Alor initially said after the bodies were found Sunday that three had been cut open and their hearts removed. He retracted that statement Monday, saying autopsies showed the organs were stabbed multiple times and essentially destroyed, but were never removed. Toxicology results found drugs in all six victims. In the northern state of Durango, police reported the discovery of six decapitated men along with two heads. Three more victims with severed heads were found by police in the central state of Morelos. A note left at the scene threatened people with ties to alleged drug trafficker Edgar Valdez Villareal, who authorities say is fighting Hector Beltran Leyva for control of the Beltran Leyva cartel. Drug gang violence has claimed more than 22,700 lives since President Felipe Calderon launched a crackdown on cartels shortly after office in late 2006.

Almost 23,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico, since a US-backed crackdown on cartels began more than three years ago. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY

The First Wookie is just as dopey as the First Kenyan. These dipwads haven't a clue.
Just how bad does it have to get? U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
Notice how in Mexico it's the soldiers and law enforcement who have to HIDE THEIR FACES IN PUBLIC, instead of the other way around?

Yes. In the 80's we vacationed in the MX often. It was great. We didn't have all the armed guards that the First Wookie had, and they were not needed back then. No way in hell would I return today.
I think Obama and Michelle should reciprocate with Calderon and spend a few weeks in Juarez ... just to show its safe and all ..

Check out what a local illegal did: WCSO Joel Eliazar Ortega, 30, an illegal immigrant, was sentenced to a life in prison term on May 26 for dragging a paralyzed woman out of her wheelchair, raping her, and then leaving her lying nude in an alley. Disgusting!!

23,000 MURDERED IN MEXICO IN LAST THREE YEARS
The government report of 22,743 deaths since late 2006 was given to lawmakers as debates over the controversial use of the army in street battles against drug lords continued, Interior Minister Fernando Gomez Montt confirmed on Tuesday.
The worst-hit regions were said to lie in the north of the Latin American country near the 3,200-kilometer (2,000 mile) border with the US, which is the scene of a deadly tug of war between large drug cartels over control of lucrative drug trafficking routes into the United States.
According to the report some 9,635 people were killed in 2009 alone, making it the deadliest year in the drug war.
That compared to 2,837 in 2007, the first year of President Felipe Calderon's military-led offensive, shows a dramatic rise in violence mostly attributed to gangs lashing back at security forces and infighting among cartels.
The report adds that since 2006, military officials have detained over 121,000 drug suspects, but gave no further figure for how many of those had been convicted.
The increasing number of organized-crime deaths draws a gloomy picture of Mexico's war against drugs, showing little sign of containment despite the US-backed government's heavy crackdown against gangs and drug kingpins.

How can we just keep ignoring the consequences of not closing our border?
Would making the smuggled drugs legal and cheap stop the violence?
