Journo Murdered

(Veracruz, Mexico) Another Mexican journalist has been murdered. The body of Adolfo Sanchez Guzman, 32, was found Thursday near Ciudad Mendoza, 75 miles west of Veracruz, shot twice in the back of the head at close range. The body of Cesar Martinez Lopez, a friend of Sanchez Guzman, was also found murdered.

Less than two weeks ago, the murdered body of investigative reporter for the magazine Testimonio, Roberto Marcos Garcia, was found outside Veracruz City.

At least 13 Mexican journalists have been murdered, mostly shot to death, in the last two years. It's a certainty that all were killed for writing about drug trafficking and government corruption.

Interestingly, the U.S. elite media are passively at the forefront of the campaign for open borders without seemingly thinking about what lack of border security means to them personally.

As millions of Mexicans, plus a variety of others, flood the U.S., they bring with them a couple-hundred-years worth of Mexican, and other, values which include the mindset of shooting people who write unflattering reports. So, despite how much one appreciates the positive aspects of south-of-the-border culture, it's pretty much moot when hot, high-velocity lead mixes with one's brain tissue.

The mainstream media should be careful what they wish for.
