Shootouts, Armed Robberies Plague Border City in Mexico

Shootouts, carjackings, armed robberies, and other violent crimes plague the Mexican border city of Reynosa as two rival factions of the Gulf Cartel fight for control. The violence in the region continues despite claims by government officials of a decrease in crime.

The border city of Reynosa is immediately south of the border from the Pharr, McAllen, Mission, Hidalgo area in South Texas. It is considered one of the busiest commercial land ports in the nation.

Despite the economic impact caused by international factories, in recent years the region has seen an ongoing number of fierce shootouts and high-impact crimes as rival factions of the Gulf Cartel fight for lucrative smuggling corridors into Texas.

My wife is from Reynosa. When I would visit there 25 years or so ago, I felt as safe, or even safer there than many areas of my own town of Houston. My how thing have changed.

That wall should have been 60 feet high and 15 feet thick at the base.
With NO entry points from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific...
