Mexico is having as many problems with illegals as we are.

The Mexican government has announced that it will be stepping up its vehicle inspections on vehicles entering Mexico from the United States.  I say good for them.  What we look for in vehicles coming into the US is drugs.  While that increases the amount of crime in our streets through addicts desperate for their next hit, what they're looking for is far more dangerous: the guns that drug dealers' agents buy illegally in the United States to smuggle back to the cartels.  

A lot of their problems stem back to the Mexican army's and law enforcement's epidemic of corruption.  The government doesn't pay their employees a lot, so employees take bribes.  The army takes bribes from the drug cartels to guard shipments, and do violent jobs that the cartels don't have the equipment to do.  Mexican law enforcement takes bribes to look the other way.

The drug cartels are the major problem down there.  They're the ones that are bucking government control.  They're the ones that smuggle criminals across our borders to sell drugs and do other illegal business to send money back.  

Speaking of sending money back...our economic trouble is hitting the Mexican economy kind of hard.  Not only are the illegal workers in this country headed home, but the money sent home by legal and illegal alike is drying up.  

So, not only is the Mexican government having trouble with the cartels, but with their own economy.
