Most people in the U.S. see Mexico as an essential partner to stop drug trafficking and illegal border crossings, even as they express mixed views of Mexico’s government, according to a new poll.
The poll from the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about two-thirds of Americans see their southern neighbor as having at least a friendly relationship with the U.S. Relatively few within that group, or 16%, consider Mexico a close ally. Meanwhile, U.S. adults are more likely to have an unfavorable (38%) view of Mexico’s leadership than a favorable (12%) one. The remaining responded they did not have an unfavorable or favorable view or were not sure.
@BackOnMyBS at least in my town down there they got “aguilas” or spotters. If you take a bus down there, they will immediately spot you off the bus and follow you to see who you are. They then figure out what your business is and maybe how much money there’s in between. Then they probably try to figure out who they can extort to get them to pay ransom for you. Or maybe you got the money and they will take you gramma and as for ransom. It’s just such a no go country for anyone right now.
