In the case of the municipality of Plutarco Elias Calles the main feature of why so many homicides are given is to be border and stay in an area that belongs largely to Pápagos that have a land bank that they oversee.
"That the US authorities monitored, partly say that region, and is an ideal place for traffickers of drugs, weapons and money instead.
"This region allows certain facilities for those engaged in illicit Mexico side issues" reported.
To this is added the competition of criminal groups engaged in drug trafficking and people and another point that adds Munro Palacio installation is the only control on the Rio Altar.
