CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - Death froze his exhausted face.
The attackers lashed or punctured nearly every part of his body. Then they cut off the dead man's head, wrapped it in a plastic grocery bag and dumped it with his body between two tractor-trailers on a city street.
As with most murders in Ciudad Juarez, police found no witnesses, no weapons. Only the battered corpse on the steel coroner's table carries clues to who he was and how he died.
"Every organ speaks," says Dr. Maria Concepcion Molina, who gently removes packing tape from the head of her third decapitated victim in a week. The dead man's slack mouth and eyes still seem to pray for relief.

This is what Mexicans want to bring to the US. Illegal and legal migration from Mexico must stop and the border needs to be sealed up. It is a prima facia duty of the government to protect its people, not to feed them to the Mexican drug gang dogs who infest most US cities.

I disagree concerning the border. We most certainly have the power and technology to close
the border. They will always come thru the tunnels into other places but we can still eliminate
thousands from crossing over but we won't because? Pick . Our leaders cannot agree. We
need leaders running the government who are not there to establish their identity and make a
career of it. Certainly not men who have never worked in the real world. Our leaders need
to be retired. Humanitarians who cannot buy the office or have us to buy it for them. The
12 step program has a good idea. No personalities in charge . Rotation keeps this from
happening. Senators and Congressman have lost touch with their souls and think it's business
as usual ...do what others do...and how can we put away a nest egg for ourselves when we
leave so they can be bought and most have been on both sides. The end is upon us for
with technology they can no longer hide their nests they have been building. I saw the other
day a picture of the "cottage" Dodd has.. and most of us have seen what the Republican
dude with the highway he built for his constituents in Illinois. They should be put in jail
Our system exposes them but we do not see any consequences.
Thanks for your article. If we removed all drugs they would still come. This is also an issue
of over population and jobs. Our leaders are really going to suffer someday tho for their
dishonesty.
