This past weekend at least 27 bodies were found in a mass grave along Guatemala’s border with Mexico.  Since then Guatemalan forces have battled with suspects, resulting in the capture of one, and killing two.

Now the President of Guatemala, Alvaro Colom, has declared a State of Siege.  He says they’ve identified the bodies in the mass grave as migrant workers, who were trying to get into Mexico for jobs.  Colom says the migrants were killed by the Zetas Drug Gang.

I’ve asked this before: Why would drug dealers want to kill migrant workers?  This looks more like something that radical right wing nationalist would do, not purely drug dealers.

The majority of people killed in Mexico’s Drugs War have been migrant works from outside Mexico.  Don’t forget that many tourists from the United States have been killed, for no apparent reason.  I’m suspecting that what is happening is that a pro-Mexican NAZI like group (Zetas) has risen to power, through the sale of illegal drugs, and is carrying out their ultra-nationalist agenda of ridding Mexico of all foreigners.  The drug dealing was just to get enough money to wage their war.
