Note: This story has replaced the FOX news story on govt financed
weapons sent to Mexico in local headlines.
Why? Very aptly points out that the cartels are not just a Mexican
problem, Mexico's problems are our problems, and as they will tell
you, the reverse is also true.
BTW, the "how to seize him" comment is still bogus, doable for most
any army, unless.
Wife of fugitive Mexican drug lord gives birth in L.A. County
Joaquin 'Chapo' Guzman's wife, Emma Coronel, gave birth Aug. 15 to
twin girls at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, according to

Reporting from Mexico City— The spaces for "Name of Father" are
blank. But the L.A. County birth certificates list the mother, who
happens to be the young wife of a highly sought-after drug lord,
Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman.
Emma Coronel traveled to Southern California in mid-July and gave
birth Aug. 15 to twin girls at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster,
according to birth records and a senior U.S. law enforcement official.
Turns out Coronel, a 22-year-old former beauty queen, holds U.S.
citizenship, which entitles her to travel freely to the United
States. By being born in California, and to a mother who is an
American citizen, her little girls also have U.S. citizenship.
Guzman, 54, the multibillionaire fugitive head of the Sinaloa cartel,
married Coronel the day she turned 18 in a lavish wedding in the
highlands of central Mexico in 2007. She is believed to be his third
or fourth wife and is a niece of Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel, a onetime
partner of Guzman who was killed in a July 2010 shootout with the
Mexican army.
U.S. federal agents apparently kept tabs on Emma Coronel even before
she crossed the border at Calexico, through her hospital stay and
until she left the country to return to Mexico. Although her husband
tops most-wanted lists on both sides of the border, Coronel was not
arrested because there are no charges against her, the law
enforcement official said.
Although she no doubt could have provided useful information on her
husband's whereabouts, drug agents have said the problem with
apprehending Guzman has less to do with finding him and more with how
Mexican troops can seize him. He surrounds himself with enormous
bands of well-armed security and tends to stick to isolated, hard-to-
reach mountainous regions, agents say.
Coronel's presence in the Los Angeles area and elsewhere in Southern
California did not seem to attract attention. At the Antelope Valley
Hospital, a spokeswoman declined to comment, citing privacy rules.
Birth certificates show the girls were born at the Lancaster facility
at 3:50 and 3:51 p.m.
In the spaces for the mother's signature, Coronel opted to print her
name.
Guzman has children from earlier marriages. Mexican authorities
seized one son, Ivan, then 21, on drug charges in 2005 but released
him three years later. Another, Edgar, 22, was shot to death in 2008
in Sinaloa.
The elder Guzman, whose nickname means "Shorty," is about 5 feet, 6
inches tall. He was arrested in 1993 but escaped prison in 2001 by
bribing guards to hide him in a laundry cart.
U.S. authorities have placed a $5-million bounty on Guzman's head and
allege he and the Sinaloa cartel now control the bulk of cocaine and
marijuana traffic into the U.S. from Mexico and Colombia. Guzman's
forces last year moved into Mexico's northeastern shoulder around the
border state of Tamaulipas, and he may be behind a ferocious push by
gunmen into the coastal Veracruz state to challenge the Zetas gang
that dominates there. Scores of people have either been killed or
gone missing in recent days.
Coronel is said to have first caught Guzman's eye when she entered
the regional Miss Coffee and Guava beauty contest. He made his
interest known, and she was crowned queen of the pageant. They
married a few months later.

San Diego contributed to this report.

MÉXICO, D.F., (apro).- El capo Joaquín, "El Chapo", Guzmán volvió a
ser padre; en esta ocasión, su esposa Emma Coronel dio a luz a unas
gemelas en el hospital Antelope Valley en Lancaster, Estados Unidos.
Coronel viajó a Estados Unidos en julio pasado; logró cruzar la
frontera gracias a que tiene nacionalidad estadunidense. Así, las
hijas que tiene con "El Chapo" también obtuvieron dicha nacionalidad.
La esposa del líder del cártel de Sinaloa no fue detenida debido a la
inexistencia de cargos en su contra. Agentes federales de Estados
Unidos revelaron al diario Los Ángeles Times que "El Chapo" continúa
libre no porque se ignore su paradero, sino por la dificultad que
implicaría capturarlo.
Proceso en su edición 1609 publicó que Joaquín Guzmán se casó en
Durango con Emma Coronel. Ocurrió el 2 de julio de 2007 en la
comunidad de La Angostura, reveló la reportera Patricia Dávila:
"Aquí, en pleno corazón del Triángulo Dorado del narcotráfico –como
se conoce a la zona donde confluyen los estados de Sinaloa, Chihua-
hua y Durango–, Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán Loera contrajo matrimonio.
"El lunes 2 de julio pasado, el famoso narcotraficante se casó en La
Angostura, localidad de este municipio a donde los fuereños llegan
sólo por caminos accidentados. Con todo y eso, además de autoridades
locales asistieron a la boda exfuncionarios del gobierno de Sinaloa,
tierra natal de Guzmán Loera.
"Su nueva esposa, de 18 años de edad, se llama Emma Coronel Aispuro.
"Previamente, para halagar a su novia, el narcotraficante más buscado
y por el que la DEA estadunidense (Drug Enforcement Administration)
ofrece 5 millones de dólares, secuestró prácticamente a la cabecera
municipal durante todo un día, el pasado 6 de enero, para ofrecer un
baile en honor a Emma en la plaza municipal".

meses después de que la conociera en un certamen de belleza.
