Okay. So when we are referring to that, we hear that kind of blame game all the time.
I assume we're talking about
the money,
and the guns and all the weapons that come from the United States, and also the fact
that we're doing the drugs here in the United States. > I was wondering if you give us a
little background, a lot of my students
have knowledge of this, but a lot of other people don't. With so many facts
we were talking a little bit earlier
before, we have the presentation. And I was sharing this little story with you,
that there was uh...a kid on the street, somebody came around and gave him a cell phone,
and gave him $40, and if you see this particular car,
you're gonna get paid 40 US dollars a week, and we'll going to give you a cellphone,
unlimited texting, all that other kind of stuff. And
and there's so many different socioeconomic
factors
into what's going on. And,
I was wondering if you could just,
in a nutshell,
kind of break it down. What are some of the factor, the nuketas,
you know, what women are getting involved in, just to kind of make some sense of how this is
taking place.
Maybe kind of a follow up on here,
you know, showing us... I really debated showing the
pictures. Joanna
sent me the Powerpoint, and we talk about it. Should I show it? And uh... I don't know why I should.
And think I think there's a reason we want to get people
moving, and look at this and say that's it's got to shock you into actually do something.
And the one thing that we saw these pictures... the violence. I can understand the drugs, I can understand
them making money, and I can understand the power, I...
when I see those vivid pictures, I just can't understand why someone would chop somebody's head off,
or hang you from a freeway, or bury you out in the desert.
I was hoping you could maybe just kind of set the stage for all the socioeconomic differences
that are taking place in Juarez,
and elsewhere.
