| 2008-08-16 |
| At least 23 people died in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, police and officials said Thursday. The toll included nine people slain during a prayer service. A gang armed with AK-47s sprayed the mass in a drug rehabilitation center with bullets late Wednesday in the border town of Ciudad Juarez, killing eight patients and their minister, police said. At least five people were seriously injured in the shooting. Meanwhile, 14 others were found dead Thursday in separate incidents in Chihuahua state, eight of them in Ciudad Juarez. |

| #3 It's long past time to unilaterally abrogate NAFTA, break relations with Mex and stop any traffic coming north. Mexico and Nigeria, two countries whose major exports are oil and criminals, need to be places whose citizens are permanently banned, with no exceptions, from U.S. entry. Every time I read stuff like this I wish the Rio Grande was 500 miles wide. |
