HAVANA ? The vast majority of Cubans sneaking off the island now enter the United States through Mexico after U.S. relatives pay thousands of dollars to organized crime networks that scoop them off Cuba?s westernmost tip in souped-up speedboats.

New Mexico Magazine has a monthly compilation of stories about Americans who don't know that New Mexico is a U.S. state.

Ad Valora announced that it has begun the planning and development of "Mexicarlo," a hotel resort and casino near San Felipe, Mexico, in Baja California.
