Make no mistake: Mexico is in crisis

Make no mistake: Mexico is in crisis:
"The most violent, brutal, and lawless place on the planet right now may not actually be half a world away in the Middle East, but right next door in Mexico.
Since Mexico’s drug war began to escalate in 2006, more than 100,000 Mexican residents have been murdered or gone missing according to the State Department’s Overseas Security Advisory Council. Kidnapping, human trafficking, and the brutal dismemberment and display of murder victims is far too commonplace. 
These incidents are taking place literally across the river from major American cities.
The administration and press have largely been able to ignore the plight of our friend, ally, and third largest trading partner while the savagery has been primarily limited to the people of Mexico.
This should not be tolerated..."
