greta: continuing with senator john mccain. another issue near and dear to your heart and many people in arizona and others across the country. the whole issue of illegal immigration. as an adjunct to that the information i ve learned this week we ve been covering the story nor than a year, an american is one of the leaders of one of the cartels right over the border in mexico. i m sure you have a thought about that. the fact that an american is leading one of these drug cartels for some reason is more stunning to me stunning. also, let me point out this latest massacre down in mexico about 100 miles south of the border where they found 72 bodies, 14 women who were apparently migrants from other countries like el salvador and others, this murder, this massacre has been carried out, according to news reports, by these people who are former
