Violence in Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez hits record high

The Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez - located across the river from El Paso - is arguably the murder capitol of Latin America. The troubled city has surpassed two thousand homicides this calendar year, breaking last year's record of 1,600 murders - this despite a deployment of thousands of federal troops to stamp out a turf war between cartels. The violence touches all segments of Juarez society and the impacts are also felt across the river in El Paso.  Joining us to talk about the violence in Juarez and the situation for those who are trying to flee is Carlos Spector. He’s an immigration attorney based in El Paso.
