Meanwhile the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas appear to be on a membership drive:
Official says cartel hit men posted 'help wanted' sign on border, Associated Press - April 14, 2008.
A giant banner hung across a thoroughfare appeared over the weekend in Nuevo Laredo and read: "Operative group 'The Zetas' wants you, soldier or ex-soldier. We offer a good salary, food and benefits for your family. Don't suffer anymore mistreatment and don't go hungry."
I imagine they will be posting in Craigslist's Help Wanted section next.
