Oh, I was just joking about how the article said that she was seeking asylum in the US.

Oh.

It says she fled Mexico for America. Also, why is she having babies at age 20? Too young in this day and age.

And? So now everyone that comes to the U.S. is an illegal alien? What? Or is it just Mexicans?

It said she applied for asylum, which is a legal means of coming to this country.

Or were you joking too?

And now she's just another illegal alien.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Technically a refugee?

"I have a cartel or two trying to kill me, and it seems like they murdered the last police chief, can I stay?" Sounds like a reasonable case for asylum.

If she did actually flee (it is unconfirmed currently) I'm honestly surprised she made it this long.

Nah...she asked for trouble with the cartels. She should remain in Mexico. We can't be the place everyone flees to when they're in trouble. We already have a plethora of Mexicans here...we don't need MORE.
This could be a very slippery slope as Mexicans flee claiming the cartels are out to kill them.

didn't realize you could ask asylum for private troubles, thought it had to be the government or political group that was oppressing you.

Pretty sure a giant criminal syndicate may fall under that definition.

while im for legalization, especially of marijuana, thats not suddenly going to stop all the people in all the cartels from shooting other people. i think it would reduce their income, but theyd still need to be dealt with. theyre used to money and power and mayhem, less money coming in isnt going to suddenly make them timid.

They would be killing each other over whatever reduced profits are left to be made.

Win-Win. People like that don't handle losing money very well. They'll take it out on each other.

Elvis has left the building. Hope the rumours are true, and she's not in a pit being dissolved by acid right now.

Hmmm, from that article...
Praxedis Mayor Jose Luis Guerrero told CNN that Valles Garcia is on personal leave because her 8-month-old baby is sick. He said she is expected back at work Monday.

However, that last video that was posted - also from CNN - is dated October 28th, 2010. Right at the beginning when the reporter is in the truck on his way to meet her he says she has a 7 month old son.

people think the cartel is like this band of raging rapists and killers, they dont rape innocent people usually, they rape and kill the competition other cartels fighting to control the channels to traffic the drugs... we wage this war on drugs because we dont want people to get high, which is just another distraction for them, but as long as there is demand (people who want to get high) there will be cartel violence over the routes to traffic the drugs into the USA.

The Zetas have been going to local police chiefs and giving them the "silver or lead" option. Either you take a bribe or we will attack you, your family, and/or your officers. This is why so many local police departments work for the zetas & why the Gulf cartel has been attacking the police.

so why the fuck are we fighting them, why doesnt the us government just allow companies to purchase the weed legally from the cartel, and resale it behind the counter in convenience stores like tobacco/alcohol...

If the USA allows "Oh NOES! Teh cartels are after me" as an excuse for asylum, we'll soon be over-run by Mexicans...oh wait...we already ARE getting over-run by Mexicans...and we DO NOT need any more...
