were Americans specially targeted?

In Matamoros, the four kidnapped Americans taken by cartel henchmen were rescued, but horrifically enough, two were murdered, victims in Mexico's vicious cartel war brought on by Joe Biden's open border.
News reports, citing an anonymous U.S. official, say that the four, who were black U.S. citizens from South Carolina, were mistaken by the killers aligned with the Gulf Cartel, for rival Haitian drug dealers.
Now this is possible, but it doesn't seem tp be a complete story. It implicitly suggests that the killings never would have happened otherwise.
Reading between the lines, this seems to say:
Don't be in Mexico at the wrong place and the wrong time.

if we believe only the government and the MSM we'll never learn the truth but in fact, these people don't believe we are capable of knowing, or hearing, the "truth"

It's an easy step to take those fights across the border to the USA as well.

Mattressmoros has always been a den for Mexican criminal cartel smugglers of all sorts, just as all the other Mexican cities and towns located along the international borderline. It was just a matter of time before cartel enforcers came across US citizens either by mistake or as planned and killed some of them.

To think that the United States of America went to war against Mexico just because we couldn't agree on where the border lay. Today, American citizens by the thousands are being killed by China's fentanyl with the help of Mexico, both on this side of the border and that, and our feckless, dementia-ridden POTUS does nothing. Where is our national sovereignty? Where is our money going? To Ukraine, not to mention into the pockets of Biden's entire family.

Sure stay out of Mexico, but I got news. Mexico has come here. How long before this sort of crap begins to be common in Phoenix, Denver, Chicago...?

I've always been afraid every time I've been in Mexico, even as a kid in the '50s and '60s. The first time was in Juarez when my family visited my uncle in El Paso. I was seven. I didn't feel safe and wondered why the adults brought us there. I couldn't understand how they could be having a good time there. In the 60's and 70's it was popular in southern Cal to make shopping trips to Tijuana. I made several with my family and once with a boyfriend. I was always uncomfortable and breathed a sigh of relief when we were back across the border.
In 1971, my Senior Girl Scout troop visited the International Scout House outside Mexico City. My mother and another leader chaperoned sixteen 17-year-olds for two weeks, God bless them. We traveled down by bus and returned on a Pullman train. We visited a huge open-air market in Toxco. A group of four us had a man put his hand up our skirts and he pinched our bottoms. It scared the hell out of us. That night in our hotel room we ripped out the hems of our skirts and lowered them.
My last trip to Mexico City was in '94 representing the Los Angeles Department of Airports at an international tourist convention. It was just a few weeks after the Chiapas Indian uprising. There were armed soldiers on every street corner and at the entrance to my hotel. I had to show my passport to enter the hotel and convention center. The last night of the convention the main speaker was the Finance Minister and I had to pass through four rings of security to enter the building.
However frightening the week had been, the trip was the greatest blessing of my life. On the last day I visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, as I had with my mother when I was seventeen. My mother has passed only the month prior. After visiting the Basilica and seeing Our Lady's Image, I climbed to the top of the hill to the apparition site. There's a small stone chapel with no pews, no kneelers; just indentations in the stone floor made by thousands of pilgrims on their knees. For twenty years I'd been a C&E Catholic, and I humbly asked Our Blessed Mother if I was supposed to be a practicing Catholic. LOL. You can guess her answer! After random medals and holy cards coming into my life, eighteen months later I had an unexpected mystical experience at a funeral Mass during the Consecration of the Eucharist.
Mexico is mess. It is violent and besotted by evil. Satan seems to own the place. Yet, in the middle of its capitol city stands one of the greatest shrines of the Holy Blessed Virgin, the Mother of God. It is the site of the largest conversion, the entire Aztec nation, in the history of the Catholic Faith. It is ground zero in the battle between good and evil. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for and protect Mexico.

#7 In the 90's DH and I used a friend's villa at the Acapulco Princess for several years in May. On one of the trips down we rode a bus to Taxco to shop for silver jewelry. Town was so small, and on top of a hill or mountain, the bus had to stay outside of town and we rode into town in old VW bugs, 4 or 5 to a car. Front seat had been removed. Kind of like packing a telephone booth. Thankfully it was a short trip. There was also a beautiful old Catholic church there, they told us every piece of it had been carried up the mountain on the backs of mules or donkeys.

It’s very possible that there is a longer story, related to this reported adventure that four “innocent” Americans just took to Mexico for a reported medical procedure, then we have been told so far.

These guys were probably looking to score some drugs to bring home....and got tangled up with actual drug guys, who didn't appreciate the amateurs mixing into their business.

Plenty of evidence this comes from Joe Biden's open borders.
