Even the Mexican attorney general has publically recognized that kidnappings have passed from a “sporadic” to a “systemic” problem. Of course he is only referring to the kidnapping of Mexican citizens, who very rarely report these crimes not only for fear of the kidnappers, but also for fear “of the local authorities who are connected with and protect the groups that they should be combating.” If not even a Mexican citizen, who votes and pays taxes, is willing to report a crime, what is the likelihood that an undocumented migrant will?
