Drug money moving from the USA to Mexico

The way to solve this problem is to legallize marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine and sell these drugs cheaply through U.S. government sanctioned channels as happened with liquor after prohibition. Read today´s Wall Street Journal article on this subject. The corrupt United States is destroying Mexico with their voracious appetite for illicit drugs and there is no other solution. The United States is criminally complicit in the terror that grips Mexico thanks to lawlessness north of the border. What dreadful hypocrisy.


Have to disagree with some of your post. It isn't the U.S. that's destroying Mexico, it's selfish people on both sides that want what they want. And you might make a case for legalizing marijuana, but the hard drugs are bad in any amount. There's just too much money corrupting people on both sides. I suspect that both federal governments are affected by it. How else to explain the Mexican gov't's inability to stop the cartels, and the American gov't not enforcing the border, allowing the smuggling of drugs and humans? Appears both do things for show. I remember when Salinas fled to Ireland. His brother was to join him after stopping in Houston to withdraw if I remember right $120,000,000. Got arrested when he couldn't explain where the money came from. Where is the education campaign showing on TV what's happening in Juarez and elsewhere? Apparently people can be scared into going green for the sake of the planet but not to give up coke at parties for the sake of kids in Juarez.
