Don Alejo, the Story of a Hero Who Fought Against the Narcos

The story of Don Alejandro Garza Tamez, the timber businessman who refused to give up his ranch in Tamaulipas for drug trafficking and defended it with multiple weapons, became the most commented item on Twitter. Thousands have expressed their opinion regarding this case; some blamed the absence of authorities for the attack, while others noted the defense of Rancho San José by the employer who was 77 years of age. Some want to put up a statue of Don Alejo, dedicate the name of a tequila, or bring the story to the big screen and write a ballad.

The history of the Mexican businessman threatened by drug traffickers, who died after facing them alone and killing four of the assassins who tried to take his ranch, has hit and invaded Mexican society with many social networks showing admiration and support. (Note: the word ‘Don’ is a title of respect for a man who is considered a true gentleman, or of nobility.) The link below has video of the ranch, which although in Spanish, shows the damage caused by the assassins, and at the bottom the ballad, called a narcocorrido, telling his story.

U.S. Improves Visa Formalities, Lowers Cost

As of January 10, 2011. the procedure for a visa has changed at the Embassy and Consulates of the United States. Applcants must go to service centers where staff will take biometric information to be reviewed by the consular section before the interview in the Consular Section. The total cost for the visa will be lower. The cost will remain $140 for a tourist visa, $150 for an appeal and $390 for traders and investors. Applicants renewing a visa will only have to go to the nearest service center to present documents and have fingerprints taken. U.S. authorities explained the process will take less time, and said clarification could be found on their website.

Year 2010, ‘El Chapo’ is still free

(Mexico City) The year 2010 was very productive and dealt substantial blows to major drug cartels. Despite heavy civilian casualties, dangerous organized crime boses were captured. However, the most important heads of drug trafficking are still free. The article goes on to list each of the main people. It closes saying the head of the Zetas has a ranch with tigers and lions who he feeds some of his victims to.

They probably agreed on safe passage to the American border as long as it was understood they couldn't STAY IN MEXICO!
