U.S.-Mexico Relations: 200 years after its birth, Mexico maintains complicated relationship with U.S.

Here is a very nice, human, sane perspective on Mexico, the drug trade, migration and the relationships that some people in the San Gabriel Valley of southern California  have with their Mexican neigbors. 

200 years after its birth, Mexico maintains complicated relationship with U.S. - SGVTribune.com: " Many Mexico's problems can be traced directly to the United States, which fuels the drug trade through its consumption and bears responsibility for its failed interdiction policy, said Roderic Ai Camp, a professor of Mexican politics at Claremont McKenna College.

"It has to come from Congress to solve these problems," said Camp, who has studied the issue as part of a panel at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "It wasn't until recently ... that we've said a good part of the problem is ours."

Mexican leaders know they have to rely on the U.S. to curb the drug trade, so they have few options while struggling with corruption and their own population's growing drug addiction, Camp said." Sept. 15, 2020, San Gabriel Valley (California) Tribune
