After a particularly violent week in Tijuana that has left 54 dead in a fierce cartel power struggle, experts on both sides of the border fear the worst is yet to come.

Is it possible for her to move elsewhere in the state? Or perhaps to a neighboring one? Tijuana is so dangerous it must be worrying you sick. to you and your wife.

It's a shame that anyone has to live under such lawless conditions. The cartels are in control, not the Mexican government. Too much $$$ at stake and no regard for human life.

Wow! I had no idea it was that bad in TJ. I pray for her safety and that something can be done in the community. Its terrible.

Police are never out of a job there.

She spent the weekend at our place here in SD. Saturday night on a Mexican music radio station an announcement was made and it said basically that 4 areas of TJ were on lockdown due to shootings. What is unusual is that these are middle class neighborhoods and one of the areas is where my wife lives.

She is currently at work in TJ but the craziness continues.

The following foto is from the TJ newspaper Frontera and shows the latest body in the Narco War from today.

Many of them are on the cartel's payroll.

Is an expedite possible for this kind of situation, or would that require your wife to be specifically targetted to qualify?

Hope she can get the visa part of the process over and done with. Things are definitely spiraling out of control.

Unfortunately there is not.

Cd. Juarez' death toll as of right now is of more than 1100.

Our sister city, which is 10 mins away from the border is a war zone , my sincere opinion is to let them kill each other, less drug dealers for all

God only knows how many of these drug cartels have entered the US via unmanned borders.

This sort of ####### is the number 1 reason the US needs to get a hold of illegal immigration and ID every single immigrant quick smart. Before this ####### spills onto US streets.

Why is it the US is more than happy to spend a trillion dollars on battling people in the desert yet afraid to send troops to 'deal' with these cartels. Surely over the past 30 years these cartels have taken more lives than 10,000 9/11s..

It is ironic. The demand for drugs is more hush hush than the demand for oil.

The only part of the visa process that can possibly be expedited is the USCIS portion. NVC and the embassy can still crawl at a snails pace and it doesn't matter. My husband has been targeting specifically by militias in Baghdad for some stupid reasons including marrying me as an American.

Are you serious or just playing ?

Police are never out of a job there.

That's for sure.
