One thing this has done is killed tourism

I went to the dentist today in Ciudad Acuna. Very few American tourists. The taxi driver that took me back across the bridge to the US say he is only making about three trips a week as opposed to two or three a day before all of this propoganda began.

The fare is $12. He has to spend $2 to get back across the border and split the remaining $10 with the owner of the cab.

Not much money for a guy trying to support a wife and three kids.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
