Rising homicide rate in Mexico wiping out recent gains
Straight from the article it states " the first two months of 2016 saw a total of 3,158 people killed,,," As soon as I read that I think to myself that gang violence must be the reason why the homicide rate went up. Then I as I continued to read the article it later stated that" the increase of homicides during the first two months of 2016 has affected more than half of the country,,," The main questions in my head at this point is "what is the mexican government going to do to bring the homicide rate back down?" "How will the government assure the peolinkple of its safety?"

What if the government is corrupt and filled with people that allow these homicides to occur? Maybe the question That should be asked is what are the Mexican people going to do to bring the homicide rate back down? It could be the fact that the people are not being cautious while walking through the streets of Mexico. There are many things that could be the cause of the rising homicide rate.
ReplyDeleteHow does this affect U.S. Politics?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zack, Mexico is known for having a corrupt government.For example, El chapo has been able to escape many times. The U.S always cleans up the mess behind Mexico .
ReplyDeleteI think this just feeds into what trump is saying about the violence in Mexico moving over to America. What we could be doin is helping to lower that crime rate instead of building a wall to isolate the crime we could help Mexico by putting a end to the crime
ReplyDeleteI agree with this. Instances like these only feed into corrupt ideas like that of Donald Trump. It affects our government in the sense that it causes people in politics to have a new issue that they have to tackle. Due to our relations with Mexico politicians feel the need to do something about it.
DeleteI agree with the fact that instead of isolating them we should lend a hand in fixing their problems. That would be a good way to gain an ally that we may need resources from in exchange for our assistance with their crime rate.
DeleteI would say the government probably doesn't have the resources to handle it. What if there government cant create more jobs (which includes police jobs). If they were to create more jobs in the police force it would put more policemen in the streets of mexico and more than likely decrease the homicide rate.
