The War Next Door: More Civilians Killed Last Year in One Mexican Border Town Than All of Afghanistan Combined…
No need to worry, Big Sis has the border under control.
More civilians were killed last year in Ciudad Juarez, the Mexican city across the border from El Paso, Texas, than were killed in all of Afghanistan.
There were 3,111 civilians murdered in the city of Juarez in 2010 and 2,421 in the entire country of Afghanistan.
On a per capita basis, a civilian was 30 times more likely to be murdered last year in Juarez, where there are 1,328,017 inhabitants according to Mexico’s 2010 census, than in Afghanistan, where there are 29,121,286 people according to the CIA World Factbook.
The number of civilians killed in Afghanistan was compiled by the Congressional Research Service and published in a CRS report released on Feb. 3. The number of civilians killed in Juarez was compiled by Molly Molloy, a research librarian at New Mexico State University who maintains a count of murders Juarez and published it on the Frontera List Web site. Molloy’s work on civilian murders in Juarez was also referenced in arecent CRS report on Mexican drug cartels.
Much of the violence in Juárez is sparked by drug trafficking organizations battling over one of the major smuggling corridors into the United States.

Bring the troops home and deploy them to the border
There is a saying amongst us ex-El Pasoans: “El Paso is a great place to be from…” All the more reason than ever to get out of Dodge.
Terrorist organizations are providing the Mexican drug dealers; it almost appears that Hezbollah or al Qaeda is calling the shots.
I done my time at Fort Bliss and White Sands. Used to go to Juarez a couple times a month for tacos. Cartel guys would be standing around the mercado with machine guns in plain site. Scary place. Time to shut the border or legalize drugs, I think that’s the only 2 choices we have. I could be wrong.
…and as usual the msm remain mum about this with the exception of Fox now and then.
Nice Israeli Galil in the pic. Too bad the narco-terrorists have even more firepower.
