“As the United States debates how to protect its border, Sergio Martinez ponders how to protect his life.

Martinez lives just across the muddy Rio Grande in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, where competing drug cartels are killing people at the rate of nearly one a day.

“I can’t go out at night. There is no law,” said Martinez, 28, standing in the doorway of his small bodega on the main street just south of the border. His business has dwindled by half, as frightened Americans stay away from once-popular Mexican shops, restaurants and clubs.”
