Is The United States Really To Blame For The Mexican Drug Wars?

Bill O'Reilly, Marc Lamont Hill, and Marc Thiessen debate whether or not the United States is responsible for the rise in drug violence on the Mexican Border. Hill argues that NAFTA, as well as America's demand for drugs, has produced the very problem that they're attempting to fix.

I choose to blame the drug consumers first and foremost then the drug dealers then the government and law enforcement entities last.

"Convoluted" is an understatement concerning all matters related to peoples insistance to consume "NON ESSENTIAL, recreational intoxicants while everyone of them absolves themselves of any wrong doing and or culpability while conveniently blaming others for the problems they create by way of their manic insistance and lust to consume the intoxicants.

Considering most of the consficated weapons of these drug cartels are from the US. I would say yes. Its so easy for them to aquire these weapons that they freely use against hardworking US citizens.

You are a bunch of morons. The US has the same amount of murders, true its 3 times more populated but keep things in perspective, homicide rate its 'only' 3 times as large (15 per 1,000 against 5 per 1,000). Mexico as a whole is about as dangerous as Lousiana. Now if you consider those homicides are happening mostly in Cd Juarez, and a couple other cities youd realize the rest of the country is actually less dangerous than ANY big US city.

@rsexplorer20 If we send the National Gaurd to the border, it will stop guns going to mexico and stop drugs comming in. It will also create jobs by having full time jobs on the border for the National Gaurd. Why arnt there 30,000 american deaths in the U.S.? Why arnt there 30,000 deaths in Canada?

@billieholiday42 Where does the money come from?

Where do the guns come from?

THE USA!

Where does the drugs go?

THE USA!

Mexico and the rest of Latin America is suffering from drug addicted Americans!

30,000 dead in this war now!

@rsexplorer20 The United States is NOT to blame for mexico's problem. Canada does not have the problems like mexico. And in the United States, we do not have the same problems as mexico. It is Mexico's problem! Or canada and the U.S. would ALSO have 28,000 deaths and people gettting their heads cut off. It does not happen in the U.S. it does not happen in canada. It only happens in mexico. we needs to send the National Guard to the border!

totally agree with Marc Lamont Hill! A wall and more guns isn't going to fix this. The problem is deeper than that; it's social, economic, etc. It's time the US starts acknowledging some of its responsibility in the issue, especially regarding NAFTA.
