The former police chief of Tijuana, Julián Leyzaola Pérez, was attacked as his convoy travelled through downtown Ciudad Juarez today. He was
uninjured.
Conflicting versions of the event, as usual. I'm always hoping the best for that brave guy. He changes his work routine daily and eats and sleeps in
his office. I did see Pres. Calderon complained to Clinton today about the killing of the Mexican man who (allegedly) threw rocks at the BP after a
failed crossing near downtown Tijuana. I am guessing that's the position of his political party? Immigration rights before the drug war at home?

Absolutely.
He is much more popular appearing to champion immigrants rights than talking about what is becoming an increasingly unpopular and viewed as failed
drug war. More and more people down here see this as Mexico selling out and paying the ultimate price for a drug war that they believe should be
shared equally across the border...Bajahowodd - 6-23-2011 at 06:21 PM
If nothing else, the next Mexican presidential election should be quite interesting.
Where does the PRD stand on this issue?BajaGringo - 6-23-2011 at 06:37 PM

Generally 180 degrees opposite of the stated position of the USA, whatever that is on just about any issue...805gregg - 6-28-2011 at 07:28 PM
We need to just legalize drugs in the US and stop this BS in it's tracks.
