Phoenix is the number 1 city in the US for kidnappings. The vast majority are Mexicans and Mexican nationals but the fear (as the article states) is that that may spread to non Mexican citizens. Living this close to Mexico has me thinking often of leaving.
I was talking with a National Guard pilot a few weeks ago assigned to the Border to help the Border Patrol (off topic - sorry). He said that the smugglers are getting very sophisticated. Ultralight aircraft (harder to pick up on radar) are used at night along with NVGs to make drug runs across the border and make several drops each night at pre-arranged LZs. The amount of drugs confiscated is small in relation to what gets through.
