EDITORIAL: MEXICO’S CONTINUED DESCENT INTO CHAOS
Because we have so many uninvited visitors from Mexico that are here illegally it is interesting and instructive to take a look at what is going on in their homeland of Mexico. Could it be that the land of their birth and citizenship, Mexico, could be on the road to a failed state? Mexico now faces a classic problem. Multiple, well-armed organized groups and gangs have emerged. These fighting groups are fighting among themselves while simultaneously fighting the Mexican government. These groups of out-laws are fueled and financed by vast amounts of money earned through drug smuggling to the United States. The amount of money involved is estimated at some $40 billion a year. This booty from the sales of drugs in the United States is more than enough to increase tension between these criminal groups and give them the resources to conduct wars against each other and……do a bloody battle against their Mexican government. This drug money also provides the Mexican outlaws with resources to bribe and intimidate government officials. These Mexican gangs in some ways have resources that are superior to the resources of the Mexican government. In early May of this year the highest-ranking law enforcement officer in Mexico … Edgar Millan Gomez was shot dead in his own home in Mexico City. The week before, Roberto Velasco Bravo died when he was shot in the head at close range by two armed men near his home in Mexico City. He was director of organized criminal investigations in a tactical analysis unit of the federal police. Because of the brazen pattern of killing we see going on in Mexico today one begins to see why we believe the country of Mexico could be on the road to a failed state. We are not yet at the worst-case scenario, and hopefully may never get there. Maybe Mexican President Felipe Calderon, perhaps with the assistance from the United States, may devise a strategy to immunize the Mexican government from intimidation and corruption and take the war home to the cartels. This solution can not be ruled out but nevertheless, the events of the last few weeks raise a serious possibility of a failed state in Mexico. If this happens with all the Mexican gang lawlessness going on here in the United States with millions and millions of people already here illegally from Mexico and what is going on at the unsealed border…we can’t take this lightly, as it could change a lot more than just Mexico.
