Mexico the Main Dope Smuggler to US drug markets

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican drug traffickers are the main suppliers of methamphetamine to the U.S. and produce enormous quantities of the drug despite government crackdowns, according to a recent U.S. Justice Department report.

Mexico’s efforts to restrict imports of precursor chemicals needed to make the drug, and a number of high-profile drug busts, have not led to lower meth production, the report said.

Despite heightened chemical import restrictions in Mexico, methamphetamine production in that country has increased since 2004, and Mexico is now the primary source of methamphetamine to U.S. drug markets,â€

If for no other reason, we need to secure the border against drugs. Most of them simply come from Mexico. Enuf said.

There was a PBS documentary on the Methamphetamine epidemic (Frontline: Mexican Meth) The website has videos and transcripts:
