Four out of five of the most violent cities in the world in 2018 were in Mexico, led by Tijuana, according to a new report by the Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. katelinthicum reports:

over a lucrative domestic drug market, the report tallied 138 killings per 100,000 residents last year, or about seven killings on average per day. In second place, with 111 killings per 100,000 people, was the Mexican resort city of Acapulco. In third place, with 100 killings per 100,000 people, was Caracas, the restive Venezuelan capital, which has been beset by crime and food shortages amid the country’s ongoing political crisis.

The fourth and fifth most violent cities, according to the Citizens’ Council, were two Mexican border cities: Ciudad Victoria, in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, and Ciudad Juarez, in the state of Chihuahua.this year since U.S. officials began sending some Central American migrants who have applied for political asylum in the United States back to Mexico to await rulings in their cases. The program began in Tijuana, but is expected to expand.

katelinthicum (7) Already the rumblings have started:

katelinthicum (6) US, Narco CIA, MX's Neoliberal Elites & Cartel Capos will never tolerate sovereign Socialist gov So. of Border.

katelinthicum (5) That's right: the violence will be used by the enemies of AMLO's Socialist policies to intervene in Mexico.

katelinthicum (4) Plus since MX's endured so much cartel violence, an increase will disguise the new way it'll be used: as a coup.

katelinthicum (3) Many ppl guessed violence would be main weapon against AMLO & his Morena Party. It's Mexico's achilles heel.

katelinthicum (2) Once MX's PRI-- corrupt ruling party&US lapdog-- lost election, everyone knew mafia & Narco CIA would act out.

katelinthicum (1) Watch for these ' Mexico violence ' stories to soar in congruence w/ Left turn/successes of AMLO's policies.

amitivemisfits katelinthicum Is funny how Americans never like to Talk of a crime in their own country talk about south central La where kids can even go to school because they’re killing every day Southside of Chicago etc etc

katelinthicum No crisis on our border? Just look at the most violent city just on the other side of it!!!

katelinthicum And yet the libs refuse to strengthen the border. Sad

katelinthicum Hey katelinthicum did you actually read the report? 'In the world' the world doesn't consist of 11 countries that exclude cities with a population of 300k. A real journalist would have been a bit more thorough. Nice journalistic standards there

katelinthicum Lopez Obrador didn't say that he was ending the war on crime. He said that he was ending the war on drugs. There is a big difference between those two. Also, the National Guard was used by the previous administrations without dealing dealing with the issues that causes poverty.

katelinthicum I link to the report would be great. Thx.

In Tijuana, where gangs have been battling over a lucrative domestic drug market, the report tallied about seven killings on average per day.

Good. No one is Mexico has a reason to seek asylum. Mexico’s government is not persecuting it’s citizens. Send them back to their homeland While they're waiting in Mexico maybe they can get a job and just stay there.
