Whack-a-Mole Drug War: One-Sided Merida Initiative Debate as a Metaphor for U.S.-Mexico Relations

This article points out the difference in attention to Mexico - U.S. relations in the two countries.

The Pan-American Post: One-Sided Merida Initiative Debate as a Metaphor for U.S.-Mexico Relations: "the Merida Initiative is in the news once again, as select members of the legislatures of both countries will discuss it at the 50th annual U.S.-Mexico Inter-Parliamentary Meeting in Washington, D.C. this Wednesday....

The Mexican delegation will be headed by the chairman of the Senate and leader of the PRI caucus, Manlio Fabio Beltrones, and most of the heads of the caucuses of the two legislative chambers, according to El Milenio.

Among other things, it seems that their top priorities will be to discuss the role of U.S. arms in Mexico’s security crisis, as well as Alabama’s controversial new immigration law."
