juarez

before i begin i must mention that all facts all stolen from wikipedia, which is not always known for it's accuracy. but since all lies contain a bit of truth, on to the bit of truth. el paso and juarez make up one of the largest binational metropolitan areas in the world, w combined population estimated at 2.5 million. juarez is also one of the fastest growing cities in the world. about 60,000 people cross the border everyday, in large part due to the almost 300 maquiladoras, or factories the city has. my mom used to be one of those people until she got tired of the drive, and our car got stolen. but now we got a better one. as of july 14, the body count in the drug war in juarez reached one thousand. the pic is of the bridge.
