So the general consensus on these boards is for America to do it's own rules lawyering, and hope Mexico changes as a result of our actions? Because to imply Mexico can simply be ignored in the hopes they miraculously vanish one day is a bit like waiting everyday for the end of the world... sure, it may come... someday. But using that same analogy, I suppose it never hurts to be prepared, and ignoring the issue won't solve anything. Like I keep saying, the US can fix all it's internal problems, but that won't get rid of the pesky neighbor syndrome. But I suppose if these opinions really are a reflection on the greater outlook in the states, then this is exactly what's going go happen: we "fix" drug problem and institute radical new sweeping immigration policy reforms and wait for Mexico to change on it's own. Mexico has some relief because of this, but overall corruption does not change because all the key-players work for drug lords, who, because of the "new" drug laws, start selling illegal "generic" drugs, essentially turning Mexico into our next-door India. It will solve NOTHING long term! And its so obvious... but I forget, legislation through crisis/out of sight, out of mind.
