Where in God's Green earth did they drop her off in the end?

I'm glad it had a happy ending but still, wish they somehow confirmed that she was in America

That was no happy ending and she wasn't in the United States. Once she was worthless for the drug delaers and for the police she is just abandoned as nobody cares about her. Her life has been destroyed by everyone and she will simply have to struggle the rest of her life like all the anonymous victims of crime in Mexico.

The IMDB has killed the traditional daily poll, if you want it back visit the board http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000088/flat/197849108 and say it.

It was anything but a happy ending. She was tossed out in a dangerous area, handcuffed with no money nor means of communication. The hard times are not over for Miss Bala. To keep her life and sanity is the next challenge.

Highly recommended: Murder City: Ciudad Juarez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields, by Charles Bowden.

Quite the opposite. You missed the point of the film. After literally everyone had used her, they simply discarded her like trash. She wasn't even a threat enough to jail. Just simply discarded. They left her in the same city.

I am surprised they bothered handcuffing her (and wasting a good set of handcuffs), but I think the point was to show that even though she was free, she was still a prisoner (IE Baja Cali, to drug cartels and corruption), a bit of cinematic license.

^It was very cruel of them to leave on the handcuffs. She might have managed somehow without them, but I can just imagine how difficult it would be for her to get them off.
