Man, I knew it was bad but this really puts it in perspective.
This Mexican candidate had just vowed to tackle crime. Then a gunman shot him dead.
Quote:
The Mexican congressional candidate had just left a debate hall where he addressed public security in his northern state. He walks over to a person holding a phone and poses for a picture. In a matter of seconds, a man walks up from behind and shoots him in the head, killing him before walking off.
The death Friday night of Coahuila state's Fernando Puron brought to 112 the number of candidates or politicians killed since the launch of Mexico's electoral campaign in September, according to the consulting group Etellekt. Puron was the first candidate running on the federal level to be killed.

My god, this is insane. It sounds like Mexico is just a few steps away from turning into Somalia. Organized crime has its roots deep into the country's law enforcement and political power.
And half of our country are bubbling with excitement about letting millions of these people in and legalizing their status. Trump was dead on right when he said the criminals of Mexico are entrenched in the US; they are mixed in with the laborers and families looking for work, and liberal Democrats are working overtime to see that they are not molested and safe in sanctuary cities.
