Baraka, with all due respect....Mexico's bordered on the South by Guatemala, which has a murder rate twice as high as Mexico's (Source:
Central America: The tormented isthmus | The Economist)
Indeed, the 3 states south of Mexico (Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua) are mired in a drug war, with over 50% of their inhabitants living in poverty.
It's incredible that, so much murder and violence are happening in the Countries south of Mexico (Panama's murder rate has also doubled in the past 3 years), yet, for all of the Isthmus's lawlessnes and drugs and violence (including many light aircraft using Guatemala as a backwater airport of sorts), it must be the AMERICAN border that's shifting guns south.
Also don't forget the porous Mexican Guatemalan Border.
