International kidnapping of Americans in border states -- including right here in Texas.

TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - American businesswoman Veronica was stepping out of her car in California when two men forced her into the passenger seat at gunpoint, pushed her teenage daughter into the back and drove them into Mexico...

Mexican intelligence officials say Veronica is one of around 30 Americans abducted in southern California and taken to Tijuana since last November. Many of the victims are of Hispanic origin and hold double nationality.

"We have seen an increase in the number of kidnappings of U.S. citizens in Tijuana, including cross-border abductions," said FBI special agent Darrell Foxworth in San Diego.

Several Americans have also been kidnapped in Texas this year and held for ransom in Mexico, the FBI said...

It is fairly well-known that criminal gangs in Mexico make money tons of cash every year through massive kidnapping enterprises. Now it appears that they are becoming trans-national operations, grabbing Americans (and Mexican citizens in the US) for even higher stakes. Just call it one more aspect of our the failed policy that has effectively given us open borders and 15-20 million illegal aliens and their anchor babies.

But then again, maybe we should be celebrating this development as one more case of multiculturalism enriching our society.
