More than 60,000 people have been killed from 2006 to 2012 due to drug-related violence, during former Mexican President Felipe Calderon's six-year administration, according to Human Rights Watch. During that same six year period, 26,121 people have gone missing in Mexico, though authorities don't have data about how many of the disappearances are connected with organized crime.

Since December 1, 2012 when Enrique Peña Nieto assumed the presidency, overall intentional homicide numbers have declined slightly, but the number of reported kidnappings continues to climb.

Just for perspective, that's about 4X as were killed by ISIS last year, and more than 10X the number of Americans who died in Iraq.

Sadly the PC pushers are more concerned about Donald Trump making an insensitive comment about "Mexicans" than about these gang members sneaking across the boarder and waging their war on our shores.

People that agree with Trump will say those tens-of-thousands of dead and missing Mexicans are a good start.

We wouldn't want to be too PC and believe some of the dead and missing were innocent by-standers, would we?
