My friends in El Paso say it's not even worth going to Juarez anymore. It used to be no big deal to go to Juarez to see friends, hang out, shop, etc. but that has pretty much stopped. The street vendors are really hurting in downtown El Paso at the border because they depend on the Mexicans coming over to shop.
When you have a whole city that puts themselves under curfew to not leave their house after dark, without police telling them to, then you know it's bad.
The cartels get on the police radio frequencies and call them out by name and say, "Lead or money?" in Spanish. They don't have a choice but to be bought by the cartels because you see what has happened to the ones who aren't cooperating.
