"Hours after the troops arrived in Nuevo Laredo, Horacio Garza, a federal congressman and two-time mayor of the city, was shot as he and his driver headed toward the airport Monday evening. The driver was killed. Garza received bullet wounds to the neck, shoulder and leg.
In 3 ½ years of intense cartel violence, more than 600 people reportedly have been killed in Nuevo Laredo.
Hundreds of Mexicans have been kidnapped or have disappeared from the area in recent years. At least 63 Americans have been kidnapped, according to Laredo's Missing, an organization set up by family members to pressure authorities on both sides of the border to find their loved ones. Many of the Americans were later released, but at least 20 remain missing."
Note they say this is due to competition for drug routes into the US. That means they are regularly coming here.
Thoughts?
