The wide spread violence, death and destruction by Mexican Drug Cartels and other criminal organizations across Mexico, is the direct result of our President's wish to declare war on the cartels. That absurd strategy of combating it with force results in social degradation all across Mexico with some of the hardest hit in urban areas and poor sections of the country where poor, uneducated young people are recruited as henchmen, with the hollow promise of cash sometimes paid and sometimes not, but has become the strength of the cartels and the weakness of our country and its young. Our young is our Mother land's only hope for the future.

The resulting growing social inequality has converted Mexico into a factory that only makes the rich richer and makes the poor poorer.  There are many areas where we have some of  the best real estate in the entire world and a short distance away there are the poorest slums in the world. Our country has become a country of only the Rich and the poor, no in between. Over 95 percent of the Mexican people are poor. If we do not do something and soon it is only getting worse.

An economy based on drugs and making more money and getting benefits and extravagances, is exploiting the workforce and sacrificing the well being of all of us. Last year there was the highest unemployment rate in years and the worst economic growth rate in 80 years, while the cost of food rose and wages dropped. This caused enormous hardship and difficulty for most Mexicans in meeting essential needs like clean water, food, medicine, education and shelter.

In Mexico right now it is more difficult than ever to get a job with a decent salary. Millions of us are forced to migrate to the U.S. to find work and that is getting harder everyday mainly because of the drug smuggling and the down economy of the states. Many feel that it is not working and will not work and are ready to revolt as they have no other choice. We as a people need to force a strategy to raise economic levels and to enact social programs of change and have a guaranteed minimum wage.  Many of Mexico's laborers work eight ten hours a day and then commute several hours to and from work resulting in a work day that is 10 or 14 hours long.  At the same time many work part time and have no retirement program.  It is a social disaster. This results in major pressure on the workforce which relies solely on wages here and in America.  The solution is this: More capital investment resulting in more work, setting higher wages and lower taxes. But with this war going on that is not possible. It is up to us as a people to do something about it. We can no longer wait we must act.

Another crisis is the reduction of public services like education, health care, street repair and so forth.  On one hand they tell us there are no resources to construct schools, hospitals and clinics and on the other they bailed out crooked bankers in 1995 and we are paying monstrous interest payments of 2.5 billion pesos a year because of it. The result could not be worse.  We have people living in huts and curtained vans and their lives are falling apart. They are tired of it.

Meanwhile, professional politicians offer empty promises and the economy continues to falter.  They believe we will keep butting our heads against the wall but the opposite is true.  They have made a deal with the devil with their promises to end the crisis.  They have made the same promises now for years.  Ninety percent of the people do not understand and they don’t intend to understand the supposed political reform that is proposed.

As I have set forth, the politicians and the intellectuals have launched a program against an entire generation and have offered nothing but a recipe for the disaster we are in-the violence and worker exploitation.  It is obviously, like it has been for the last several years, we need social advancement not a drug war that is killing our people with no end in sight.  All this drug war is doing is creating a social underclass and we as proud Mexicans have to come together as an organized resistance.
