MEXICO, D.F. (AGENCIAS)
La adquisición de enervantes y el tráfico de armas ha provocado la exportación anual de Estados Unidos de 730 mil piezas de alto poder al mercado informal mexicano, es decir unas dos mil diarias, alertó el director del CISAN, José Luis Valdés Ugalde.
El directivo del Centro de Investigaciones sobre América del Norte (CISAN) de la UNAM dijo que reconocer la demanda de drogas en su territorio y la existencia de un mercado negro de pistolas, granadas, subametralladoras, fusiles e incluso lanzagranadas, implica un cambio de actitud de las autoridades estadunidenses.
En la mesa "Migración, seguridad y sociedad en la relación México-Estados Unidos", realizada en el marco del Re-Encuentro Chicano 2009, el experto consideró que tras el acercamiento entre funcionarios de ambos países se puede hablar de una nueva etapa en la relación bilateral.
Esta modificación en el trato (diferente al que había en la gestión de George W. Bush) puede ser el inicio de una convergencia menos conflictiva, destacó en un comunicado.
Consideró que el problema de las drogas en la región -que provoca a Estados Unidos 35 millones de adictos- no se solucionará si no se impulsa una política social en torno a su venta y uso.
Añadió que aunque en los últimos meses se ha hablado de una posible legalización de los estupefacientes o de un programa de administración del consumo, el presidente Barack Obama negó que esas iniciativas sean factibles.
Por otro lado, consideró que tanto la migración como el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte serán temas postergados, aunque el TLCAN sea un tópico pertinente a raíz de la suspensión del ingreso de camiones mexicanos al país vecino.
Además, la reforma migratoria deberá ser replanteada aunque haya adelantos en el rubro, como el programa de trabajadores-huésped, apuntó.
A su vez, el académico Armando Vázquez Ramos, de la Universidad Estatal de California en Long Beach, destacó que la población latina en Estados Unidos se ha diversificado en las últimas tres décadas.
Actualmente asciende a 48 millones y, de ellos, 30 son mexicanos (de estos últimos, entre seis y ocho millones no tienen documentos).
Pese a esas altas cifras no se ha creado una política integral que refleje los intereses, necesidades y el flujo continuo de personas hacia la Unión Americana, precisó.

La banda de narcotraficantes mexicanos conocida como Los Zetas extendió a Guatemala sus operaciones de tráfico de armas de alto poder, las cuales llevan desde México por “puntos ciegos” de la frontera común, informó el fiscal antinarco de ese país, Leonel Ruiz.
El funcionario explicó que ese grupo criminal, brazo armado del cártel del Golfo, “también se está dedicando al tráfico de armas, las cuales pasa en los puntos ciegosde la frontera” entre ambos países.
Los puntos ciegos son pasos ilegales que no cuentan con vigilancia de las autoridades fronterizas, los cuales son utilizados por grupos delictivos para traficar armas, drogas y personas.
Según Ruiz, la mayoría de armas que las fuerzas de seguridad de Guatemala incautaron en los últimos meses forman parte de arsenales que han sido traídos al país por Los Zetas.
El fiscal aseguró que el departamento de Alta Verapaz, que posee amplías extensiones montañosas y bajos niveles de vigilancia, es utilizado por la banda para traficar con el armamento.

The situation in Mexico has serious consequences for our Rights, and even our lives here in AZ and all along the Mexican border. We cannot emphasize enough how much it is in our interest to have a free, safe and prosperous Mexico as our neighbor. Many of us have family, friends there and they are our neighbor.
We strongly support the Human Rights of the Mexican people to be able to defend themselves. That means the Mexican people should once again have the rights and resources to possess, bear and use modern and effective firearms. As over 70 years of corrupt federal government and it's attending gun control have shown, the bumper sticker is so true. "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Mexico is a textbook example of the failures of gun control. While some very limited firearms are permitted on paper, and in practice, the real effect has been to disarm the good people of Mexico.
That was done by the very corrupt political party that ran a country rich in natural resources and people, into the ground to prevent a revolution, not to "control crime" as was the pretense.
As the archived reports will show, the defenseless people of Mexico have suffered way too much. They deserve much better. We need to help.
Given the gravity of the ongoing drug war in Mexico our neighbor to the south, ASR&PA has been working to monitor the border situation and it's many effects on our state and our members:
Including drug and human trafficking, with related issues of murders, kidnappings, home invasions, extortion, destruction of wildlife habitat, illegal immigration, white slavery, money laundering, expenses of incarceration and medical treatments, the list goes on and on. Also de facto cession of areas of the state to the DTO's; fugitives, cash, firearms and ammunition running south. Most of these issues could be significantly reduced by simply securing the border.
To get it out of the way, ASR&PA does support legal immigration, trade, and travel between our countries. Especially so that we and our Mexican neighbors can once again freely and safely travel to our neighboring countries for competition, training, hunting and just enjoy good company.
