The dirty and criminal policy of Mexico
México. - The actions of the criminal groups have caused that the step by Mexico will be riskiest than to attempt to cross the frontier with The States, coincided expert in the topic of migration. Fabienne Venet Rebiffe, general directress of the Studies and Publication Institute on Migration (Inedim); Sandino Asturias Valenzuela, general coordinator of the Studies Center of Guatemala (CEG), and Oscar Chacon, executive director of the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities (Nalacc), they regretted that Mexico be making to it "the dirty work" to The States to support its political of safety, and he added that regrettably this is in exchange ‘all for nothing’.

The dirty and criminal policy of Mexico
Chacon considered that what live the migrants to its step by Mexico is "Dantesque" due to the fact that they are victims of the organized crime, to something which is added "the dirty work" that in its political makes the government of Mexico to support to the government of The States and this work “makes it free of charge". He adds in its conversation, this situation is "distressing" and it insisted on the humanization of the migrants". Venet Rebiffe supported the relationship that makes the governments between safety and migration is "wrong", since puts to the migrants as "possible threatens" and consequently thus justifies all type of actions.

The general directress of Inedim, adds, that to see the migrant policy from the perspective of safety and the "control" is a setback and called to choose "the integral vision" of the phenomenon, that implies to approach it from the structural problems that incentive them the forced irregular migration because they migrate to have some opportunity in the life, not make it to be enriched or by adventure.
Washington: an irregular ally
According to what is informed Wednesday, 6 of July, 2011 for Darrel Issa, president of the legislative committee that analyzes the scopes of the ‘operative Rapid and furious', whereby the Office of Alcohol Tobacco and Guns of Fire (ATF), of the American government submitted to cartels Mexican thousands of weapons of high power in the operation participated, in addition to different level officials of the mentioned dependency, the Federal Bureau of Office (FBI), as well as the commissioned federal instance with pursuing to the drug traffic (DEA).

According to Issa, that movement illegal of weapons with the one which intending them, they were sought "watching" the supply of origin armament American of the Mexican organizations devoted to the drug trafficking, would have been accomplished through the payment to smuggling so that upon performing them as informants of the DEA and of the FBI. In previous weeks, the investigations that leadership the president of the legislative committee permitted to establish that the highest command of the ATF, included its directing in functions, Kenneth Melson, were receiving weekly reports from the development from 'fast and furious' & ‘gunrunner’, that permitted the clandestine revenue our country of some 2 thousand assault guns, fifty of sniper rifles and an indeterminate quantity of ammunitions.

It is unlikely that the Justice secretary of the neighboring country, Eric Holderm may not have been abreast of the participation of three police dependencies and of so important safety of the American government and result little likely, by so much, the allegations in his favor formulate by the president Barack Obama. If 'fast and furious ' was a decision of government, would be extremely serious that the White House concealed it. On the other hand, if the highest command of the American public brand did not had idea of those illegal activities of the ATF, GAVE it and the FBI, that supine ignorance would note to a uncontrolled uppercase in the actions of Washington against the drug traffic.
Washington not combat to delinquency, it combat to the drug
With respect to Mexico, it is clear that the government of The States can not be considered a reliable associate in the combat against the organized delinquency and by the public safety, and much less as a coordination instance with the Mexican public forces, infringing function of the Constitution and that, however, it has been able be proven on account of the diffusion of the diplomatic cables of the State Department obtained by 'WikiLeaks' and divulged in Mexico.

In this context the conflict has represented to The States a vast market where to put part of its armament production of its war factories, a big quantity of money whose wash reports astronomic earnings to the financial entities of the neighboring country and, by if it would be little actions, a good pretext to multiply and deepen its actions within country. The neighboring country has participated in the weapons supply to the cartels that purportedly intends to defeat, constitutes an intolerable datum that it should carry to the radical question of the bilateral cooperation in the matter and deep review of the implications that this has had in Mexico.

In what is immediate, the operation 'fast and furious ' and 'gunrunner’ should carry to the legislative Mexican to demand stop total to the Initiative Merida, reformulate the Alliance for the Security and Prosperity of North America and other bilateral instruments in safety and combat matter to the criminality.
