So when will the U.S. government add two and two together and realize that if it legalizes drugs, violence will decrease and U.S. business will increase in Mexico? The Mexican ambassador to the U.S. just said, in an interview with Newsweek, that increased foreign investment means more jobs for Mexicans and therefore, less migration, too. So legalize drugs and solve all the problems of both the U.S. and Mexico!

The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
