About this ebook
"If Washington won’t do anything different, if Mexico City won’t do anything different, then it is up to us the citizens of the border who understand the futility and tragedy of this current policy first hand to lead the way." from the Afterword
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Dealing Death and Drugs will be donated to Centro Santa Catalina, a faith-based community in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, founded in 1996 by Dominican Sisters for the spiritual, educational and economic empowerment of economically poor women and for the welfare of their families.
