Mexican Congress: End Cartel-Fighting Cooperation Unless Trump Drops ‘Zero Tolerance’
A statement issued by the Permanent Commission of Mexico’s Congress is calling for an end to bi-national cooperation with the U.S. in fighting cartels, immigration enforcement, and counter-terrorism, over the separation of families at the border.
In their resolution, the congressional committee “condemned ‘the cruel and inhumane policy of Donald Trump’s government’ of separating girls, boys, and teens from their mother and fathers at the U.S. detention centers which are an affront of human rights.” The Mexican politicians are referring to the “Zero Tolerance” policy where authorities are being pushed to prosecute every illegal-entry case. The policy led to a heated debate over children being taken to government centers while their parents face the U.S. court system, Breitbart Texas previously reported.
As part of their condemnation, the congressional committee called for an end to any bi-national cooperation dealing with immigration, terrorism, and the fight against organized crime until “President Donald Trump conduct himself with the respect that immigrants deserve.”
The congressional committee’s chairman, Ernesto Cordero Arroyo, said that the U.S. is a dear ally and partner and does not deserve a government like the one it currently has. The Mexican politician claimed that Trump “pushes and defends a hateful debate in and out of his country, where he gives rise to racist groups and promotes stereotypes aimed at minorities.”
In their statement, the committee calls for lobbying of U.S. politicians and international bodies to pressure the White House to end Trump’s “attacks on minorities.”

AMERICA’S OPEN AND
UNDEFENDED BORDERS:
LA RAZA HEROIN CARTELS
CUT HEART OUT OF LIVING MAN AND BEHEAD HIS PARTNER!
MEXICANS ARE THE
MOST VIOLENT CULTURE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE!
"A group of cartel gunmen fighting for
control of a Mexican coastal state cut out the heart of one of their living
victims while another was beheaded. The violence took place not far from the
beach resort cities of Acapulco and Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Guerrero."
Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified
before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants
for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los
Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los
Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are
old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell
you it’s much worse today.
Mexican immigrants seek asylum amidst growing social inequality and crime
By Clodomiro Puentes
20 June 2018
The WSWS spoke with workers seeking asylum in the United States,
who line up in scores near the “El Chaparral” pedestrian border crossing at the
San Ysidro district of San Diego, California. An immigration official appears
with a clipboard and a few names are called at a time to begin the process in
making their case for asylum. All immediately gather around in hopes of hearing
their names called.
“They call in maybe three or four people, and that’s it for the
day,” Rogelio, 38, a construction worker from the state of Guerrero, told a
WSWS reporter.
The majority of those present are Mexican citizens forced to make
the long and often risky journey to seek out political asylum in the US as a
response to cartel-related crime and violence in Mexico.
The American media focuses on gang violence in Central America,
often as part of an anti-immigrant campaign to smear as “animals” and criminals
those seeking refuge from the consequences of US intervention in the region. Of
course, the role of US foreign policy in actively creating the conditions of
rampant criminality and corruption goes unmentioned.
Mexico, a long-standing target of Trump’s nationalist and
xenophobic vitriol, also faces conditions that resemble in many respects those
of its southern neighbors, particularly in its rural zones.
Violence linked to drug cartels, and the attendant governmental
corruption, has not abated since the Calderon government’s “declaration of war”
on gangs. All the established parties of Mexican bourgeois politics stand
exposed as both ineffectual and complicit in dealing with these pervasive
symptoms of a crisis-ridden social order.
During the first three months of the year alone, 7,667 murders
were reported, an average of 85 a day, according the Executive Secretariat of
the National System of Public Security (SESNESP). This was the most violent
three-month period since 2015.
Rogelio, from a small town of less than 10,000 inhabitants not far
Chilpancingo, the state capital, said, “I was just speaking with [a woman also
seeking asylum], and she was telling about how they had killed her three
brothers. If, say, you get mugged or robbed, and you try to contact the
authorities about it, you may be never heard from again. They’re the same
people, really. The police are completely infiltrated by the gangsters and the
hitmen. Everybody in the state knows about it—everybody except the governor,
apparently.”
“There is no government there. It doesn’t matter who we vote for
in [presidential elections in] July, they won’t really do anything about the
corruption and the crime, and this will go on in the same way. Let’s say Lopez
Obrador wins. He might say nicer things, but at the end of the day the
politicians never keep their word.”
The attitudes towards Lopez Obrador, who is supported by the
pseudo-left in Mexico, ranged from pessimism to a kind of “lesser-evilism” to
cautious optimism. Employing populist phrases, Lopez Obrador has managed to
outmaneuver his opponents by speaking, however superficially and
half-heartedly, to economic issues and disgust at the political establishment,
including making the connection between the dire economic situation and
criminality.
Of the 28 million people living in extreme poverty in Mexico, the
majority are concentrated in rural areas. Indeed, according a recent report by
the Latin American Center for Rural Development, Mexico ranks highest among
Latin American countries for what is termed “territorial inequality”—the
geographical unevenness of access to basic infrastructure and resources,
including education. The study also notes that between 2010 and 2015 the Gini
coefficient in 93 percent of Mexican municipalities rose, from 0.37 to 0.45.
Given all of this, the connection between the concentration of
poverty in the rural areas of the country and lack of gainful employment forces
many into illicit activity.
David, 43, told his story, “I came here seeking asylum about
fifteen days ago. I came with my family, it's eleven of us. These fifteen days
[here at the border] have been pretty hard. I've never been to this part of
Mexico. I came from Morelia, but here I don't have any friends or family.
“I try to do odd jobs when I can. I'm supposed to be waiting here
in case my name gets called or else they pass me up, and it’s on to the next
person. Because of that, I can only afford to work one day and stay here
waiting the next.
“Sometimes we can't afford to eat much. My kids are two and four
years old, but my brother's kids are here with us too. I was a baker in my
hometown, but things are getting too difficult.
“There's no work. You work one day and then don't come to work for
the next three. It's really insecure. If you try to sell food or resources on
your own, then people harass you for protection money. If you can't afford to
pay, you disappear. And that's why I'm here.
“Even here, the hotel across the street charges me 250 pesos per
person, and everyone in the hotel has to share the same shower. They charge 100
pesos just to sleep on the floor. A man here says I can buy a camper from him
and make payments. That sounds like a good deal right now. There's just no way
I'm going back to my state.”
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — The cartel violence taking place in the central part of this border state continues after the executions of nine women in a two-week time span. The victims were killed by different means and apparent motivations.
Some of the female victims were kidnapped, tortured and executed; one of them was pregnant at the time of her death. Some victims were incinerated while others have simply disappeared without a trace.
Last month, Breitbart Texas reported on a chilling execution of multiple women in Ciudad Victoria, capital of this border state. In a ravine about 80 meters deep between large rocks, authorities found the bodies of six women–one was pregnant. All of the victims were tortured before being shot in the head and dumped into the ravine.
The six women worked at a roadside restaurant where they tended to truck drivers and passing motorists. The victims were found near the kilometer 10 marker on the highway to Rumbo Nuevo. Authorities later revealed a team of gunmen pulled up to the restaurant, tortured them, and eventually shot them in the head. The case continues to be listed under investigation without a motive or suspected organization.
The second case took place on June 8, in the municipality of Padilla. There, locals reported the execution of two women whose remains were found inside a Toyota minivan set on fire. Tamaulipas authorities were only able to recover two skulls and bone fragments.
The two victims were identified as Marisela Perez Rodriguez and Fernanda Salinas Perez; allegedly part of a drug cartel in Tamaulipas. The women were kidnapped by a rival one week before prior.
The ninth victim was discovered last week in Ciudad Victoria when cartel gunmen left the body of a young woman inside a 2011 Chevrolet compact. The car was parked in a busy area, not far from the city’s downtown. The victim was shot at least twice with a .45 caliber handgun. Her identity remains unknown.
Cartel executions in the central part of Tamaulipas continue to escalate as rival factions of Los Zetas fight for territorial control.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by “Francisco Morales” from Tamaulipas.
