Mexican NGO lays blame for migrants’ woes
The Center of Border Studies and Promotion of Human Rights (CEPRODHAC) enumerated the main causes for the deaths and human rights violations of the migrants who seek the “American dream.” Rebeca Rodriguez, CEPRODHAC president, stated that the root causes are poverty, the lack of governmental programs to eradicate poverty in the countries that produce emigration, and also inaction and deaf ears of the Central and South American consulates, as well as the corruption that prevails in Mexico’s National Immigration Agency.

Mexican congresswoman: people ought to move the same as free trade does
Rosa Marquez, Secretary for the Rural Development and Equity of the Distrito Federal stated that at least ¾ million D.F. area residents (“D.F.”: the area surrounding Mexico City) have migrated to the U.S. & Canada. The same area has received 1.5 billion dollars in individual monetary remittances from abroad up to 2009. Marquez emphasized the need to eradicate discrimination against migrants and” to reinforce public migratory policies.” A local congresswoman, Aleida Alvarez, said that if the world has commercial free trade treaties, “it is almost absurd that persons may not be able to move in the same manner.”

Regarding the Cancun bar killings
The owner of the Cancun bar that was attacked with Molotov cocktails said that a week before they had received a threat from organized crime. Armed subjects arrived and said, “If you don’t give for your security we’re going to bring about a killing.” The thugs were asking for 40,000 pesos a month (approx. 3,000 dollars) for “security.” Six women and two men, all of them bar employees, died due to burns and asphyxia. Press data shows that the majority of the bars are threatened by the “Zetas.” A month ago, the owner of another bar, the “Costa Azul,” also refused to pay for security, and opted to close down his business. They were kidnapped when he and an employee arrived to put the place up for rent; neither has been heard from since then.

Mexican federal police ranks being purged
Mexico’s federal police announced that 3,200 of its members, or 9.2% of the force, have been let go. The agency’s commissioner, Facundo Rosas, said that this was because those persons did not meet the requirements for retention, and not because they were linked to organized crime. An additional 1,020 federales” are about to be dismissed because of failure to meet “trustworthiness control exams” which include polygraph and anti-doping screening, among others.
