Mexican drug Cartels vs Mitt Romney's Mormon Family

[karrie]

A slightly long one, but a good one. This link will bring you to 7 short videos from Vice about the drug war in Mexico, and how it effects the Mormons who live there, including the colony that Romney's father was born in.

Watched the whole thing.........my head hurts..........8O

Excellent doc.

My one big question is why don't the folks who have to think about not stopping a bullet 24/7/365, sell out, pull up, and move to the States. Mitt surely has the money and power to help them.

Never did it say what they did for a living.

No, but it plainly stated that they live down there so that they can stay married to all their wives. Moving would mean taking only one wife, one set of kids. It would mean disowning the rest, and having to let them try to fend for themselves to immigrate in. Think what you may about polygamy, I think most people can respect that it would not be an option for most plural families.

Very interesting documentary. I can't imagine living in a place with that much daily catastrophic violence. A good month is when not too many people are kidnapped. Indeed!
