Las Cruces, NM – More than 500 people have been murdered in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico since the beginning of the year, and sources say more than 1800 killings related to the drug trade have occurred across Mexico in 2008. As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, the El Paso Press Club held a forum over the weekend to discuss the serious issues affecting Mexico and how they relate to the United States.
