A few more concerns:

1. all of the men with guns in Cd Juarez. I think the most dangerous group is called "la policia".

Isn't this city notorious for being run by drug smuggling gangs? Haven't there been vicious gang wars with dozens of people being killed? Don't 97% of murders in Mexico go unsolved? Aren't the regional law enforcement, politicians and beaurocracy in bed with the drug smugglers?

You better have the right connections and pay off the right people. And you will need security guards who actually carry guns. Maybe off duty police would be a good idea. Of course, they would probably rob you too.

I have considered the problem with the bribes, but I do not exactly know how much this would cost perse.

As for the issue with the Cage on the american side of the border, I believe this will be easy, simply put a SEPARATE cage on the mexican side. All transactions would be in dollars, with the peso being taken at the rate of the day (many businesses in Juarez work this way).

One concern that I heard voiced, is whether it will be legal to have such a cage on the american side at all. Can anyone see how this would be a problem?

Another problem would be the language at the table. would we only allow english or spanish?
