Director of the Mexico Institute at the wilson center, here with us to talk about the u. S. Efforts, the mexican efforts to fight the drug cartels and this is also a followup to the horrible attack earlier this week in mexico of u. S. Citizens, members of the latterday saints sect that lives there. What does this is just about the cartels in that area of mexico . Guest good morning. In addition to recognizing the recognizee have to that this is a story that has repeated time and time again, week after week in mexico. Very few of the stories receive this kind of coverage, but there are communities across the country that face this kind of threat, this kind of violence from drug cartels. That particular part of mexico, in chihuahua, son othera, between the border of the two states, its clear the organized crime groups have the upper hand of the local authorities and the federal government has not been able to deploy sufficient force to dissuade them from engaging in this kind of action.

Congress has responded. Weve seen bills to add more officers. We need other resources at the border. I think at first the only resource were being drawn from southern ports of entry and our first point was what about the airports . What about the seaport . What about the northern ports . You cant pick just one area and say well thats the only area that will get hurt. So beyond that weve seen may 7th, tomato duties went into effect. Now duties on mexican tomatoes. When tariff threat came up, that would have equalled 25 tariffs, 3 billion in tariffs just on what we eat and that constitutes a food tax. In the meantime we had these issues. Thats a glimpse into what we see at the border but we cant stop and think that we cant move forward because theres a lot of things we can move forward on. I
