In broad daylight on Sunday, assailants gunned down three individuals returning from a party at a U.S. Consulate employee’s home in the Mexican city of Juarez. At least 18,000 people have been killed in Mexico since late 2006, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon deployed the army to fight powerful traffickers.

Guests:

Alfredo Corchado, Mexico bureau chief for The Dallas Morning News

Andrew Selee, director of the Mexico Institute's Latin American Program

Harley Shaiken, professor at UC Berkeley specializing in labor issues and in Latin America
