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.
@MicroWave although, as a former Mexican of the brown persuasion I see it as a form or prison. Plus you too can get kidnapped down there. Or worse. I would let things settle down for a few million years.
Sure there’s crime but there is a fun correlation between crime south of the border and illicit intake north of the border and there sorta always has been.
