| 20 killed in gunbattles in north Mexico |
| 2007-05-17 |
| Police killed 15 armed assailants in a fierce gunbattle just south of the Arizona border on Wednesday after tracking a group of gunmen who killed five policemen into the nearby hills. About 40 assailants, whose tactics and weaponry resembled those of Mexico's powerful drug gangs, drove into the town of Cananea, 20 miles south of the U.S. border, in up to 15 vehicles and seized four policemen in two patrol cars, Sonora state police said in a statement. |

| #8 For those Americans who have not yet called your senator to urge a vote against any and all amnesty, the number is 212 224-3121. Ask for your senators office, and don't swear or threaten, just 'splain to 'em that just this one time you would appreciate that they do what Americans want and stop amnesty now. |

| #7 Police followed the assailants there, engaged in a shootout and killed 15 of the assailants I assume these narco-terrorists were killed by the Mexican police. Why do we have Border Patrol languishing in jail for doing basically the same thing as the Mexican police? Maybe if we handled some of our border and drug problems with a little more Mexican elan we would have fewer problems. Build the fence. |

| #6 2000 drug kills a year? Sounds like a close second to Los Angeles. (or is that considered part of Mexico now?) Al |

| #5 "when they grabbed Ruiz Arevalo and another agent in Torreon, 310 miles southwest of the U.S. border at Eagle Pass, Texas". Doesn't 'southwest of the U S border' imply south of the border, as in not in our state of Texas? I know our border doesn't go straight across, but what a choice of wording here. Get that fence up! |

| #2 It seems to me that Mexico is getting worse and worse. Get that wall up quick before the rest of the country flees north. |

| #1 I gather Mexico is averaging about 2000 drug kills a year now. |
