Smugglers Warring Along Border

(Tucson, Arizona) Think about it. Is it really necessary to go all the way down to the bowels of Mexico to obtain enough product to engage in a thriving drug enterprise in the U.S.?

Not in the least. All you have to do is wait for some other people to return from the bowels of Mexico, kill them and hijack their load of drugs. According to this report, that's exactly what's happening.

Law enforcement officials say they are seeing an increase of brazen attacks near the border. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the smuggler-on-smuggler violence is spurred by desire for money, power and turf. Pima County's sheriff says border agencies are overwhelmed by the attacks and the violence is reaching crisis proportion.

Crisis?

Well, maybe so but it's not a top-shelf crisis like global warming or the mainstream media would tell everybody about it. After all, having bodies pile up in the desert and the country flooded with drugs is not nearly as important as the temperature of the planet theoretically being two degrees warmer 100 years from now.
