The Obama administration should "really open to change" by decriminalizing illegal drugs. The current administration recognizes that US is the main market for Mexican drugs: "US demand for illegal drugs is insatiable," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says. Thus, drugs have to be decriminalized in both the US and Mexico. Use a graph to represent the difference between the US demand and the Mexican demand for drugs.
Mexico is the state where drug trafficking is the major problem where governments are quite not able to deal. Even the Mexican government and the us government can’t able to deal with the drug trafficking as the roots for drug trafficking had gone so far that even many people are addicted and the people find it easy making money and main concern is that the underworld mafia had increased a lot under its name as the revenue which comes under it increase in an insatiable manner which ranges from 15 – 60 billion $.
Let’s see why the drug trafficking has increased a lot since from past 40 years. The dominant party PRI ruled Mexico for around 70 years until 2000, during their time the government failed to provide the employment, so the people tired of poverty and made their way into the drug dealings and homicide activities where they can get money easy. Because of drug dealing the literacy rate is so low that it stands at the 113 places in the terms of literacy rate, not more than 10 % percent of the population are continuing the school after 6th grade. So the people having the knowledge to discriminate what is right and wrong and to think as an intellectual are less.so the mafia gangs are using them for their deeds. Even the discrimination of poverty line between the rich and poor is so vast that the whole 50% percent of national income lies in 10-15 people.
Why Hillary says that “US demand for illegal drugs is insatiable," due to the reason that the there is no break we can see for the drug trafficking ,as we keep on hunting the drug dealers they keep on emerging one after the other in the more efficient manner like “Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo” is replaced by “Pablo Escobar” who is more efficient and made the drug trafficking in a way that nobody can touch it. But after collaboration of the Mexican and us government made him to dethroned. So she told that there is no end to it .
