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.

A Mexican Perspective on US. - Mexico Relations in the Drug War: the U.S. and Mexico Need to Get 'in Tune' - and Quick
U.S. and Mexico Need to Get 'in Tune' - and Quick: La Cronica de Hoy, Mexico: "As Mexico's security crisis intensifies, there is a natural concern in the United States that the violence will spill over the border, bringing the bloody conflicts between organized gangs to the streets of U.S. cities. Which is why it's so disconcerting that the U.S. doesn't take decisive action that would help lower the level of violence, such as halting traffic in high-powered weapons and reducing consumption to shrink the drug market and fight money laundering. They merely criticize us, discredit our military and issue travel advisories for their citizens to think twice before traveling to Mexico."
