Yes.
Let’s face it!
Lot of the Mexican problems are caused by the US.
Mexicans told me many times - the border is populated by people who want to sneak into the US.
They are rather the bottom of the society. They do not have jobs. They are out of place. So they steal, rob, prostitute,...
The cartels are financed by the US (US drug demands).
If stop the flow of illegals and the drug trade - Mexico gets better, no question!
Mexicans do not want these immigrants and they would like to reign in the cartels!
They are just overwhelmed, as is (was) the US.
Back in the 1970’s, my dad took our large family on a western vacation toCA and AZ we even stopped in Tijuana and had a great time.
Lot of thruth there.
As for the Mexican government? The cartels own most of it. The Cartels are the fourth or fifth largest employer within country...hell all of central America.
One secret not talked about is that they use the reservations to support their trade in the US.
Sure, but it is up to Mexico to disperse or otherwise deal them while there.
I do agree that our lust for the drugs is largely our fault, but the imports are poisoned and pushed for Cartel profit, which has accompanying crime problems.
