#1 "The violence is not aimed at them, and if you are not involved in the drug business, nothing will happen to you. Please put that in the paper. People in El Paso don't understand that if they don't come buy things from us, we don't eat."

Well, those countless years of hassling and extorting the gringos by the local corrupt police didn't help either amigo.

#3 maybe the gringos will come back. What division is stationed at Ft. Bliss now?

I was stationed at Beumont hospital in El Paso after coming back from Nam. Couldn't tell much difference between the culture in Juarez and the one outside the gate at Tan Son Nhut.

#4 "We need the gringitos to come back,"

Why would I cross an international border to buy Mexican whey I can drive to the Home Depot parking lot and rent all I want?
