Whack-a-mole: 85 prisoners escape jail on Mexico-U.S. border

Let's hope they don't cross the border, or we will have another "violation of border security" to fan the flames of paranoia, demagoguery and militarization.

85 prisoners escape jail on Mexico-U.S. border: "Eighty-five prisoners escaped from a jail near the U.S. border on Friday, authorities and media said, the latest prison break underscoring the challenges Mexico faces as it battles powerful drug cartels.

The prisoners, mainly cartel members, climbed over a prison fence in the border city of Reynosa, across from McAllen, Texas, in the early hours of Friday morning, local radio and newspapers reported, saying 85 men escaped." Sept. 10, 2010, WBFO (Univeristy of Buffalo radio)/Reuters.
