The violence in Juarez, Mexico, is bad enough that the language is changing to keep pace.
“Narcofosa” is a word I heard for the first time in Juarez. Narco means workers for the drug cartels and fosa means grave. We were standing in a mass grave where twenty narcos had been buried outside of Juarez. Because many of the bodies were decapitated, identification is unlikely. So the bodies are just put in unmarked graves in one section of the cemetery known as the narcofosa or “the graves for the headless.”

The ranch where the most recent mass grave was discovered this past weekend is a five minute drive from the U.S. border. There is some debate over how much of the drug violence is already spilling over into the U.S. Many analysts say the attack from the cartels in the U.S. will not be a direct assault on the military or the police, as these institutions are much stronger than their Mexican counterparts.
