Either that or import basketball fans from LA.

*21 killed in rival Mexican gang shootout near U.S.-Arizona border*
by **Felipe Larios Gaxiola** - July. 2, 2010 09:28 AM
Associated Press
HERMOSILLO, Mexico — A massive gun battle between rival drug and
migrant trafficking gangs near the U.S. border Thursday left 21
people dead and at least six others wounded, prosecutors said.
The fire fight occurred in a sparsely populated area about 12
miles (20 kilometers) from the Arizona border, near the city of
Nogales, that is considered a prime corridor for immigrant and
drug smuggling.
The Sonora state Attorney General's Office said in a statement
that nine people were captured by police at the scene of the
shootings, six of whom had been wounded in the confrontation.
Eight vehicles and seven weapons were also seized.
All of the victims were believed to be members of the gangs.
The shootings occurred near a dirt road between the hamlets of
Tubutama and Saric, in an area often used by traffickers.
Gangs often fight for control of trafficking routes and sometimes
steal "shipments" of undocumented migrants from each other, but
seldom have they staged such mass gun battles.
Gang violence near the Arizona border has led to calls from
officials in the U.S. state for greater control of the border and
is one reason given for a controversial law passed in April
requiring Arizona police to ask people about their immigration
status in certain situations.
In a city on another part of the U.S. border, gunmen killed an
assistant attorney general for Chihuahua state and one of her
bodyguards.
After being chased by armed assailants through the darkened
streets of Ciudad Juarez, the vehicle carrying Sandra Salas Garcia
and two bodyguards was riddled with bullets Wednesday night.
Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office,
said the second bodyguard was seriously wounded.
Salas was responsible for evaluating the work of prosecutors and
special investigations units in Chihuahua.
Drug violence has killed more than 4,300 people in recent years in
Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso, Texas.
More than 23,000 people have been killed by drug violence since
late 2006, when President Felipe Calderon began deploying
thousands of troops and federal police to drug hot spots.
