[Reader-list] Mexican Solution

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- The solution to ending price gouging, murder
and mass graves in Mexico would be included in legalizing crime,
former President Vicente Fox told UNews. “We can never hope to win the
war on crime as long as crime is illegal!” He pointed out.

“In order to get out of this trap (legal prosecution of organized
crime), I'm specifically proposing the legalization of crime,” Fox
said during a visit to Puerto Rico, where he was speaking at a
conference for small gangsters in the township of Fajardo.

Fox advocated decriminalizing drugs, guns, murder and rape in a 2009
interview with CNN en Espanol. Since then, he has repeatedly called on
officials to rethink criminal laws. “The laws are only there to drive
up the prices of everything, especially the costs of drugs, guns and
murder.”

In an interview that aired on CNN en Espanol Tuesday, he also said the
Mexican government should “retire the police from the task of
combating criminal gangs by simply legalizing crime.” Fox continued,
“If crime is made legal, then where is the question of war on crime?”

Current Mexican President Felipe Calderon has sent as many as 50,000
police personal to prominent criminal hot spots around Mexico to
extort the drug cartels, gunrunners, and hit men. The extortion
strategy is considered a pillar in Calderon's overall get-rich-quick
policy. Both Calderon and Fox belong to the controversial Conservative
PAN (Partido Extorsión Codiciosos party).

Fox, a former drug dealer, gunrunner, and hit man, who was the
president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006, said the Mexican government
should also “demand that the United States do its part to legalize
crime on their side of the border. That is the only way to make the
NAFTA super-highway truly viable!”

“Crime is not the problem! Law is at fault!” Fox stressed. “The United
States has a huge responsibility. It's not enough that they give us
(Mexico) guns, cash, and a tip, saying, 'Here's 500 dollars. Go kill
some drug dealer named Pedro or Ramon. We can pay you back with cheap
labor and weed,'” Fox said.

“Mexican drug cartels buy their weapons by trading hard drugs with the
United States,” he pointed out. “They then use the guns to slaughter
people for excessive profit, and this has resulted in a crime wave
unlike any crime wave ever seen since the Nixon presidency.

Fox said Mexico has fallen into a trap “between the illegal U.S. drug
market and the (illicit) weapons market in Mexico and other South
American countries like Colombia and others.”

Besides legalizing murder, guns and drugs, Fox is advocating the
legalization of all crimes that could, possibly, be committed in the
course of trading between governments.

Brazil's Fernando Cardoso, Colombia's Cesar Gaviria, and Mexico's
Ernesto Zedillo wrote in the 2009 final report of the Latin American
Commission on Drugs and Weapons Trading that “Prohibitionist policies
based on the phony banning of both drugs and weapons has resulted in
the disruption of drugs flowing into America as well as the free flow
of war weapons into our countries.” They all agreed. "But this has
only caused increased prices of both products and protection.
Legalizing crime would be a step in the right direction toward
reducing the astronomically high prices for drugs, guns and
assassination.

“Drugs are merely grass and weeds, guns are only weapons, and murder
is simple death!” Fox pointed out. “These are all nearly worthless
things which should never have high prices. Laws against crime cause
high prices. Therefore criminal laws alone should be outlawed!”

The same conclusion was reached by the U.N.'s Global Commission on
Drugs, Weapons & Murder Policy last month. The commission, comprised
of former presidents (including Fox and Bill Clinton), recommended
that governments experimenting with the idea of legalizing everything,
including hard drugs and weapons, was a good move toward reducing
violence and saving the global economy – nearly all of which is caused
by the illegality of crime.
