They never did find the bodies of that couple murdered in their RV in Alberta. They have arrested someone. There were also some French Canadian RV'ers murdered in Florida that was played down by the Press. You wont see a Canadian government warning about RVing in the US or vice versa. You don't upset your largest trading partner.

Then there was the Bentley & Johnson case in BC, Canada. 2 Families were shot around their campfire. Well at least the adults. The 2 little girls 6 & 8 were kept alive & continually raped for 2 weeks before he shot them. They were 2000 miles from Mexico and the perp was not Mexican.

And I am sure the law enforcement in Canada and Florida have the "integrity" of the law enforcement in Mexico? Right?

That is a point, mind you the RCMP are now training the Federales.

That raises red flags to me:

"By late 2011, US funding had been used to "train over 55,000 law enforcement and justice sector officials, including 7,200 Federal police officers," according to the US State Department.

The New York Times reported that this training involved "conducting wiretaps, running informants and interrogating suspects."

It's all coming together.

IS it all coming together? It seems to me that corruption in the Police Department in Mexico exists for several reasons, and I will not go in to all of them. But one of the reasons is their paycheck!

Now I know there are levels of corruption. The small corruption of a $20.00 "bribe" to a traffic cop to the cartels that supplement the incomes of police, judges, etc. to the tune of what probably is thousands of dollars.

Hence, we can train them all they want. But the corrupt cops will just notify the cartel that a wiretape is being installed in their house, phone, whatever.

Look how things have changed...for the worse in Mexico in the last ten years.

Until organized crime is neutralized in Mexico there is very little hope.

A reality check isn't limited to Mexico. There has been a global degradation taking place for the last ten years. No country in the Americas is free from corruption. Mexican corruption exists at the street level, however, it is a choice. In the U.S., major corruption is taking place at all government levels. How else does 40 billion dollars worth of illegal drugs, illegal aliens, illegal work camps, and more make their way into "the greatest country in the world"? Kind of arrogant to think those things aren't happening. Reality check?
