After years of misguided attempts on Drug Crimes… – Billar & Donald, P.C.
After years of misguided attempts and poor allocation of resources, the fight against illegal immigration and drug cartel-related violence may be changing for the better. This is good news for a Border Patrol that is already stretched to its limits and for the Mexican government, which has been relatively powerless against entrenched cartels.
President Obama's is planning to shift border resources away from workplace raids inside the U.S. to fight Mexico drug cartels. The president has met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to discuss the policy shift to battle the cartels. There is no question that they are responsible for violence on both sides of the border. In Phoenix alone there have been hundreds of drug-related crimes, including kidnappings in the past few years.
“It’s a step in the right direction," Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona said recently. "Right under our noses criminal activity is going on. We've been missing the target for a long time. It has to be bilateral cooperation, we can't do it ourselves."
In order to control illegal immigration and drug cartel-related violence, both governments have to be working together, every day to fight the problem. Many have said that more shared intelligence needs to happen between the nations.
