Fergalicious: Mexico Drug War Fast Facts


http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/02/world/americas/mexico-drug-war-fast-facts/index.html

 

More than 60,000 people have been killed in a drug war in mexico. 70 percent of the the guns recovered from criminal activity have come from the United States. 90 percent of the cocaine that enters the U.S. transits through Mexico.

 

What should america do regarding their international gun policy?

Crack down harder on the boarder states and monitor the gangs that reside in the southern states more.

We definently need to seriously take action regarding the gun control, especaially now that is it showing effects in surrounding countries. It is allowing other nations to become violent and this is where we should draw a line. We make national decisions for our country and have loose gun control is for us, not Mexico, so now we are left with no choice to crack down.

The US should monitor more around the border of Mexico. They should crack down on many of the gangs in the surrounding area or atleast monitor them to see possible drug or weapon trafficking to or from Mexico.

Monitoring needs to be taken seriously and a lot more forcefully and the focus around the borders should be surrounded on drug and weapon trafficking.

America needs to stop illegal things from happening over our boarder, either going to Mexico or going to America, the US needs to take some actions and stop letting things happen

I think that we need to monitor the borders way more closely. I don't need to close it, maybe we should make it a little easier to become a citizen in order to keep people from coming over illegally. But also we need to totally close down the border to illegal immigration. I know that it's expensive but this is one of the biggest problems the country faces.

i feel that weapon control needs to be taken a lot more into account. in all seriousness i think they should crack down a lot more forcefully upon drug and weapon rules to avoid problems like this

I think the United States should definitely tighten down on security at the borders to ensure that the only way someone crosses it is legally and help prevent the smuggling of drugs as well as weapons especially if we are the ones providing the weapons.
