For the most part of Mexico's problems, I agree but let's be honest: those drugs have a market and it ain't Mexicanos. Colombia cleaned up house and it passed to Mexico. Where would it go next? The Caribbean?
Reducing the drug war should help.
These cartels have immense power and their savagery knows no bounds.
Hilarious we will go fight wars in the middle east but to south of the border.

Imagine if all of the United States was like the South. That's Mexico, basically.
in what sense?
who is the main consumers of these drugs ? who benefits more from the war on drugs home and abroad ?
My questions are all rhetorical. I`m just saying its comedic that this stuff can do down.
Migration from Mexico to the US, legal and illegal is negative and has been falling for years. They are starting to become a manufacturing hub as prices in Asia rise and a logistics hub for goods entering the Americas. We get stories here all the time about people moving back to Mexico for jobs. The days of the free run to the US border were over a long time ago except in the minds of conservatives looking for votes.

The economists Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson have advanced an interesting theory which is very convincing. With regard to Mexico they basically say that when the scramble for the New World occurred Spain was in pole position since the aim was resources, exploitation and land. Spain got to the Americas first and locked down the biggest urban centers e.g Tenochtitlan since these were seen as the most valuable. More ppl to exploit and use for slave labour + the people were dripping in gold. By contrast the Brits were thought to have got the short end of the stick at the time and had to settle for the remainder: the sparsely populated modern day US where different tribes roamed and no large urban areas to speak of. (The authors present receipts of land population at that time).
This meant that the Brits had to bring over indentured servants (before slavery) to make something of the land. Because they found it difficult to control them, they had to compromise with them by giving them an increasing say in politics and a more inclusionary policy as far as the economy.
Meanwhile the Spanish instated a predatory system where the local populace was exploited for the benefit of the cac oligarchy in Mexico and the ruling classes in Spain. The system of encomienda
Encomienda - Wikipedia
This continued indefinitely until the declaration of independence which was basically cacs in Mexico falling out with the cacs in the homeland. But the system never really stopped. There was never a revolution. The cacs just stayed as overlords but no longer wanted to give kickbacks to the cacs in Spain. The ruling classes never stopped being cacs.
This is the current president of Mexico
In other words, Mexico was never meant to be an equal inclusionary place with a government focused on the well-being of its citizenry. It was a project where cac overlords extract as much resource as possible while the locals remain peasants. It's not that the Mexicans are inept, the system is working superbly when viewed through the lens of its architects.

Trump is a dumbass. Even IF you want that wall, shytting on someone to get it done isn't the way to make it happen.
But, I heard something sinister on the news yesterday. Trump might be throwing out all this buffoonery to distract from his real agenda. Every time something like this hits the headlines, make sure to check the back pages to see what's up.
Last time Trump decided to stop the FHA rate cut Obama announced, hardly a peep in the media too: Trump administration suspends FHA mortgage premium rate cut
