ISIS in Juarez Mexico [View all]

I am bothered about this going around the NET. I can only find suggestions, guesses and inferences from mostly RW sites and publications. No hard evidence has been presented.

I am wondering if this is the newest attempt from the RIGHT to paint an 'evil' picture of brown people. RW'ers already claim not to be able to tell the difference between people of Arab descent and people South of the border. I can't help but feel that conflating those two will enable border patrol to get trigger happy. I fear this is going to cause the death of innocents.
