Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Mexico Suffers Deadliest Year Ever: Violence Hits Cabo, Tourist Havens Local authorities near the beautiful tourist town of Los Cabos on the Baja California peninsula found six bodies suspended from three different bridges this week. Authorities did not want to comment on the details surrounding how the men got onto the bridges, but Reuters suspects “drug gangs”, who often hang the bodies of their murdered rivals in public for intimidation purposes. According to official data in November, there were more murders in October in Mexico than any other month over the past 20-years. Mexico is on track to have the deadliest year ever since modern records began. In the first 10-months of 2017, there were more than 20,878 murders nationwide, as many in the war-torn country have blamed President Enrique Pena Nieto’s failure to tackle drug violence. One local prosecutor said in a statement to Reuters, Two bodies were found on a bridge in Las Veredas, near Los Cabos International Airport, and two on a different bridge on the highway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, local prosecutors said in a statement. In a separate statement, the prosecutors said two further bodies were found on a third bridge near the airport. Earlier this week, authorities in the northern state of Chihuahua reported a massacre of 12 killed in armed clashes between two rival drug gangs. Carlos Mendoza Davis, the governor state of Baja California, said the authorities are investigating the recent surge in violence around the Los Cabos area. Reuters further elaborates on Baja California and Los Cabos’s deadly year. Homicides have more than doubled in Baja California Sur this year, with 409 people killed through October, from 192 in all of 2016. In June authorities said they had found a mass grave with the bodies of 11 men and three women near Los Cabos. Assuming that Mexico descends further into chaos, broke Americans who are looking for an all inclusive vacation might want to checkout Los Cabos. Hotels rooms are being heavily discounted as drug violence penetrates the popular resort town. As for Mexico as a whole, it’s a complete mess, and this is the reason why President Trump wants to build the wall. Poster Comment: The Aztecs used to sacrificially kill 20,000 people a year.

So sad to hear this. It used to be if you were in tourist havens you were in a safe zone. I guess that is no longer the case. When I live in Illinois back in 90s, I knew a young lady that would go with her mother to Mexico for vacation. She is likely an old lady now. One time she told me about her boyfriend, "Kill him. Get him out of my life." LOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
