The limits of friendship

1) Most Mexicans believe that the responsibility for the drug traffic tween the
two countries falls squarely on the existence of a multibillion dollar market in
the United States. The number of people faulting the United States is quite
high.
2) There are only two relatively short term policies for with drug abuse:
draconian, widespread repression or legalization. Mexicos eradication
campaigns, consented, effective in the 1970 when the entire city of Culiacan,
the capital of Sinaloa, because an arm camp and was eventually taken over
by the army.
3) A rise in cocaine. Addiction did take in the place United States as of the
middle of the I970s Consumption certainly did increase according to figures.
4) Mexico does not produce cocaine. Radiation and the necessary
climatological and topographical require. Mexico is not generally used by
cocaine traffickers to process the drug. Mexico had become the conduit
through which a considerable proportion of U.S destined cocaine was
shipped. A sizable jump in cocaine exports from Latin America to Mexico and
then to Untied States.
5) had a lot of offer their Colombian colleagues United States , nearly
unrestricted access to the United States and to its largest single market , Los
Angeles , and a strong familiarity with Mexican , drug enforcement
procedures and vulnerability Moreover they operated in a country , where
coastlines , airports and airstrips , and southern border towns were
completely : unequipped to interdict incoming drugs. The traffickers realized
that the porosity of the U.S Mexican brother for illegal entries, and capital
transfers had made the second dividing line a tenuous one. Deal with a
problem of interdiction as opposed to eradication. Now had to prevent the
entry of goods into Mexico from abroad and their continuing journey to the
United States.
6) the longer the drug stayed in Mexico, the greater the possibilities that
local addiction would begin to spread and that the corrupting influence of the

trade would those sector of the Mexican security machinery and society
previously untouched by drug-related corruption.
7) The local drug lords are viewed as modern-day Robin Hoods who bring
prosperity to their communities getting back at the gringos-all place United
States in a situation common for Mexico.
8) Perhaps the only way to bring about a substantial drop in drug exports
from Mexico to the United States is by committing the armed forces to drug
enforcement on a much wider scale. This implies expanding their operations
from burning marijuana and poppy crops in the fields to intelligence
activities.
9) Authorization for DEA aircraft to enter Mexican airspace up to a hundred
miles south of the border in hot pursuit of drug traffickers fleeing American
surveillance. This request was refused.
10) Mexico does not have a drug problem, the U.S does.
11) Burg traffic from Mexico to the United States is to a certain extent like a
large maquiladora. One hundred percent of the producers, output is
exported, and all of Mexicos drug exports.
