Organized crime has exceeded the legal framework in Mexico, which influences the collapse of the country into distrust, said the Attorney General.

In relation to the growing problem, Jose Luis Santiago, the Mexican attorney general, specified that the currently enforced laws for import of chemical sustances have proved to be ineffective as to make Mexico a springboard for major drug traffickers.

Mexico is currently on the fourth place at world-wide level in consumption of cocaine.

He reaffirmed that the Mexican society has become so overwhelmed by the current surge in drug trafficking that it is currently one of the main locations for traffickers in the world.

The attorney general invited all the Mexican people to form a common front to combat the growing crimes which inflicts losses of more than five billion dollars to the community each year.

This week the Mexican President, Felipe Calderon, said that organized crime is the greatest threat to the country and although confronting the issue costs millions of dollars it will help to guarantee the well being of the society.

Good grief.

A little corruption goes a long long way over the course of time. Mexico's corruption is catching up with them. This is what will happen to USA if we dont fight to turn things around. Corruption is like a virus. (sigh)
