MEXICO CITY (Xinhua, Deng Shasha, 2011-06-06) - According to recently released census data, the number of foreigners residing in Mexico has doubled in the past 10 years. Most of the 961,000 foreigners living in Mexico come from the United States. The National Statistics and Geography Institute reported that 76% of foreigners residing in Mexico come from the U.S. Many of them have Mexican parents or grandparents. The 2010 census found that 57% of the foreign populations were younger than 15, suggesting that some people are possibly moving back to Mexico from the U.S. bringing their U.S. born children. The border cities of Tijuana and Mexicali had the biggest foreign populations, while only 5.1% of Ciudad Juarez residents were from other countries. The western state of Jalisco also experienced an influx of foreigners. The state is home to communities founded by older U.S. and Canadian citizens, who spend their retirement years in Mexico due to the favorable weather conditions and a lower cost of living.

TIJUANA BC (En Linea Tijuana, 6/6/11) - Effective preventive State Police (PEP) seized one kilogram of heroin and detained Emigdio Sandoval Arellano when he was found carrying drugs. During a surveillance and prevention patrol in the Jardín Dorado Division on Calle Pino PEP agents observed a black 1999 Nissan Altima traveling at a high rate of speed, so they gave pursuit. Once arrested, the driver, Emigdio Sandoval Arellano, 50, was said to be nervous in the presence of the military. With the suspicious attitude of the individual, PEP officers completed a safety exam of him to detect any illicit items among his possessions. As a result, Arellano Sandoval was found to have a wrapper of a brown doughy substance, apparently the synthetic drug known as heroin. PEP conducted an inspection inside the vehicle, where a plastic bag contained 15 packages of various sizes; all contained heroin. The total weight of the heroin was 1 kilogram, which is equivalent to 10,000 doses of the drug, with an approximate street value of 500,000 pesos ($43,000).
