I am a grad student, but have a teaching position. The school is about an hour away from Juarez. To get an idea:

We Mess W/Texas

Las Semester I had a student who lost relatives to violence, just got word today that a student of mine was apparently stabbed. Many of my students have family in Juarez and surrounding cities, and despite the news not really relaying it, the violence is definately leaking over the border.

:( And for every one of my students it seems like it's dozens more just across teh border that are getting killed. . .
