"What's most maddening to me is the answer is so easy: Help our own law enforcement officers do their job," he said. "Quit obsessing with how to placate Mexico and focus on protecting America at our border."

"worried about corruption, inefficiency" Duh!
I'm thinking enough of our money is going to Mexico directly and indirectly and no additional funds should be provided. How bout' if Mexico hires back all of the illegal immigrants here in the US to go back to Mexico and help step up the efforts of enforcing drug control - that would solve two problems - they'd be providing jobs for their own and helping to eliminate the cost of the illegal immigration issue here in the US.
And without a doubt, the aid should not fall into the hands of their inefficient and corrupt government as it would not be distributed appropriately. One of the reasons the illegals come to the US in such great numbers is because their own government has betrayed them with corruption by the rich and exploitation of the poor.

Mexico decided to call off the drug war.
We demanded that they continue the drug war and promised to pay for it.
We should break our promise?

In Mexico City, the American flag flew at half-staff at the U.S. Embassy Thursday, partly to honor the slain Mexican police officers and soldiers. WTF?!

This money should have gone to build the fence mandated by LAW instead of in the pockets of the corrupt Mexican government.
Man, we are so sold out.

People on BOTH sides of the border have been benefiting from this *War On Drugs* for a very long time. No amount of time or money will stop it. It’s an out of control monster with no end in sight.
Anybody disagree?

Bush has asked Congress to approve emergency assistance for the Merida Initiative, the first installment of a three-year, $1.4 billion project to send American equipment and training to Mexican security forces Well of course Bush wants to give Mexico billions of American dollars...A country so corrupt, their law enforcement officials can be bribed with cheap prostitutes and beer.
