Bodies kept being found in the desert. The numbers were high enough that it was all over the news in San Diego. The new maquilladora plants were blamed for attracting workers, many from rural areas who were simply unequipped to handle the dangers of citylife. And it was definitely young women being murdered. <BR/><BR/>But jeez, Dada, *800*? And it is now mostly young men, drug/crime related, do I have that right? This sounds far worse than the wild west ever was. It's probably cut way down on the tourist traffic there, which in turn will further depress their economy & drive more into the drug/crime life.
