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.

Legalization: Mexico can only win war on drugs by legalizing them
Mexico can only win war on drugs by legalizing them | Comment | London Free Press: "It is the American refusal to allow its consumers legal access to the drugs they want that creates the demand, and American weapons that arm the Mexican gangs that compete for that market. Since no American politician will commit political suicide by advocating gun control or the legalization of drugs, Mexico can only escape from its current agony by refusing any further co-operation with the DEA."
