Death toll in Mexico's drug war surges
I wanted to know how the drug war is going to affect us and i founded this:"In Dallas, nearly two dozen high school students have died in the last two years from overdoses of a $2-a-hit Mexican fad drug." "In Laredo, Texas, a teenager who had been driving around the United States in a $70,000 luxury sedan confessed to becoming a Mexican cartel hit man when he was 13." This are just some of the things i found out about the Mexican drug war that affects us.

Corruption hurting Mexico's fight against crime, Calderon says I wanted to know how the mexican government is trying to stop corruption; purify Mexico.

Assignment #9
Trial delayed in human trafficking case
Marcia "Jazzy" Ryan is accused of trying to get two girls into prostitution. She faces the same charges as Leonard Russell, which is the man she was trying to help. Officials say this is the first case of human trafficking in IOWA.
Similarities
The "Attorney general wants fight against human trafficking" and "Trial delayed in human trafficking case" are similar because they are both talking about human trafficking. They both are trying to tell people that we need to stop that. They are also similar because they both have people trying to do human trafficking.
Differences
The are different because one story talks about human trafficking in El Paso and the other one is taking place in Iowa. One story specifictly tell us about a case and the other on is just mentioning how victims are confused with immigrants.
