Cuarto Poder (Tuxtla, Chiapas) 2/17/08

1. (portion of an op/column, "On the spiral", by Claudia Luna Palencia)
Anti-immigrant sentiment, xenophobia, discrimination, walls, persecutions by trained dogs, "Minuteman" hunters, tear gas and real bullets, that's what the hundreds of Mexicans and latins face who dare to pursue the American dream. The most uncivilized country is the United States. Four decades ago it was the people of color who were suspected of all the bad things that took place in the American Union, in the XXI century they still are but they are no longer alone, they are joined by the hispanic minority, the chicanos and undesirable invaders as they are called.
The people on the inside care little about the favorable economic impact and instead of striving for an orderly and regulated immigration, with plentiful human rights, they persist in a feeling of indifference, perhaps one of ostracism, and a real feeling of rejection even though the immigrant (Lopez, Perez, Jimenez, etc.) is the one most fighting in the United States Army, for a country which is not the one of his origin.
Can there be a greater proof of loyalty than being disposed to die for another country? You have to die first to be an American citizen, even if it's post mortem.
In the United States the human rights of millions of immigrants are violated and Mexico is an incapable witness to request a trilateral meeting to propose an orderly liberalization of the work force among the three countries, Mexico, the United States and Canada, under the framework of NAFTA. We can learn from the European Union in that regard.

2. Yesterday at noon on the shore of a pond in La Marquesa, residents of the area found a black plastic bag, the type used for trash. Inside the bag were some good sized rocks and also a human head. The chief of police believes the head could belong to the headless and partially burned body found on Jan. 23rd. (note: La Marquesa is some 18 miles SW of Mexico City)

Novedades de Quintana Roo (Cancun, Q.R.) 2/17/08

Yesterday evening at around 7 in Cancun, David Barrita, presumed to be a "narco distributor", was driving his car in town with his six year old son as passenger. At a certain point, a group of at least eight killers ambushed him with a barrage of AK47 gunfire. Barrita lost control and crashed. Both he and his son died. A city bus with 15 people aboard was hit six times and flying glass wounded two passengers. The killers then calmly boarded three vehicles and left.

Diario , Norte (both Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua) 2/17/08

A dawn raid yesterday by Mex. military on a house in Juarez resulted in 21 arrests plus the seizure of more weapons, drugs and tactical gear.
Ten AK47 rifles, 13,170 doses of crack cocaine, 2 kilos of base cocaine, 20 clips, 11 "portable radios", 401 rounds of ammo for the AK47s, numerous military and federal agency uniforms -including jungle and desert camouflage helmet covers- , scales and three vehicles were seized.
Five of the arrested are from El Paso. The detainees were shown to press reporters who noted that many detainees had "pre hispanic" tattoos like the ones police identify with the Aztec gang members. Army officials also believe the detainees are hired killers and responsible for several recent kidnappings in Juarez.
The house is located at 509 Oregon St., Colonia Campestre Arbolada, very near Siglos Blvd, "almost on the dividing line with the United States."

El Imparcial (Hermosillo, Sonora) 2/17/08

An anonymous call resulted in the arrest by the Mex. army of 6 persons, the seizure of 2 loaded pistols - a .45 and a 9 mm., and the discovery of "more than" 20 thousand marihuana plants in 10 hectares (24.7 acres). The location was near Rosario Tesopaco, northwest of the Alvaro Obrego lake & dam, Sonora.

El Porvenir (Monterrey, Nuevo Leon) 2/17/08

Edgar Benavides Gonzalez got home from work and sat down on his front porch to have a beer and relax. Then a pickup truck which his wife had seen several times that day stopped and three men got out and forced Benavides into the pickup. That was on February 5th and he hasn't been seen since.
Benavides is a police officer in Cadereyta, Nuevo Leon. (note: a few miles outside Monterrey)
