Drug War Mexico Street Dealers
In this May 10, 2009 photo, Maria de la Luz Estrada, 53, mother of Hector Rodriguez, a local street drug dealer who was assassinated last Jan. 10 weeps during an interview with the Associated Press at her home in Tijuana, Mexico. Many of the 10,800 people killed since Mexican President Felipe Calderon began a crackdown on cartels in 2006 are small time drug dealers like Rodriguez who are competing for an exploding number of Mexican consumers, a market that didn't exist a decade ago.
