Today, you get to solve a problem. You have just been elected president of Mexico. Congratulations. You get to run the country, but you must also solve a problem: drug violence.
Drug violence has been around for a long time in Mexico. To solve this problem, a lot of effort should be put on this issue. It is a problem so hard that around half of the government is involved in supporting drug gangs. This leads to the first solution, get rid of the corrupted people in the government. As a president, I would ask for investigations inside the government. When the investigations ends, I would eleminate the officials who were responsible for the problem. It sounds easy and simple, but doing it requaiers toughness, hard work, and commetment. Another approach would be legalizing drugs or some of them. By doing this, drugs will not be important as a business because prices will be controlled. In addition, supermarkets will sell them and drugs will be available. like for example, guns in the U.S. If they were illigalized, there would be a big blakmarket and a lot of problems. Another example is drugs in holland. They have there special shops for marijuana and shrimps, not just that, they also sell them in small shops. In result of this law, less drug violence there.
Article translated by G. Soto Written By Roberto V.M. for La Paz Newspaper (Mexico City) Mexico is in a state of alarm. As of Friday morning an American student by the name of Richard Miller, has been elected President of Mexico. An eleventh hour change to Mexico’s constitution has allowed a foreign citizen to ascend the seemingly exclusive political environment. Millers vocal attention to out of control violence which has been caused by drug lords, has found resonance with millions of single issue voters in Mexico. In a speech delivered last week in Mazatlan, Miller’s condemnation of governmental abuses of power, and bribe taking, appeared bold and unintimidated. In that speech he said, “new strategies must be put into play. We will deincentivise those public figures who would take bribes and pressure local law enforcement to crack down on suspected drug mules”. Many protestors who had gathered at the speech where sharply critical of Miller’s solutions. One protestor, a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, claimed his ideas were, “just too vague.” others held signs in gibberish, highlighting the fact that Miller can not speak Spanish. MIller who declined to be interviewed, did send us an copy of his administrations agenda in a bulletin point format, which include: Restructure all existing drug enforcement agencies into one cohesive unit. Lobby United Stated President to appoint a federally funded US task force to support Mexico’s war on Narco-Terrorism. Additional funds and staff to be allocated to Mexico’s northern border. A policy of Interagency and international sharing of intelligence with regard to drug traffic routes and gang/gang member identification. Much controversy has been ignited, not only concerning Miller’s political views but the fact an American has been selected at all. A statement issued from the the Mexico City based, William S. Burrows Society, (a drug decriminalization advocacy group) reacted by saying, “this is a political maneuver designed by American politicians to infect our government with American values and seek control of our borders.” Many others have argued that even if Miller’s administration is successful in eradicating drug related crime; what will happen to the Mexican political structure and identity? How much military involvement are we willing to accept and for how long? Millions of people are now planning to attend the swearing in ceremony which is being held Monday in the northern border city of Ciudad Juárez. The location being chosen to symbolize Mexican and American cooperation. With vast numbers of people gathered, controversy, and political tension; we are sure to see the how this new administration will handle the transition to power.
As the first time, running as president, many goals are going to be accomplished. Everyone knows drug violence has been increasing rapidly, but my main goal is going to decrease drug violence until it is stopped. The first step is to investigate and catch all the corrupted officers that are working because they are the ones’ that make it easier for drugs to be transported. After catching all the bad officers they are going to be eliminated. Once these corrupted officers are gone, the drug cartels are going to have harder time to transport the drugs; making it easier for the officers to capture the drug cartels. As the drug cartels are going to be captured one by one they are also going to be eliminated. Killing them is going to make more controversial, but it is the only way people can progress out of drugs and then all the economy is going to realize that eliminating the bad people wasn’t a bad thing to do. Legalizing any drug is never going to be in mind and is going to be avoided at all time.
I, Shannon De Marah stand before you as your newly elected President of Mexico. We are here today because of an alarming, very critical issue. That issue would be drug violence. Since I have taken office, there have been more than 34,000 people killed in this four and a half year-old drug war. The country simply can not shed anymore blood. The bloodshed needs to stop. It needs to seize. We need to take action and come up with a new strategy. The current strategy proposed by former President Felipe Calderon is doing more harm than good. Sure we can send in more military personnel, but the killings and the bloodshed will continue to get worse. It will take over the country. The people of Mexico deserve to live. So, here is a strategy I propose. We need to seize the illegal drug trade between Mexico, the U.S. and countries around our borders. We also need put an end to the turf wars and gun control. Also if we can slow down the supply and demand of drug trafficking, maybe we can see a light at the end of our tunnel. This raises the question, should we legalize drugs? The underlying cause of drug violence in Mexico is that drugs are illegal. If drugs were legalized, the government could regulate them, eliminating illicit profits. The move would seriously crimp the drug cartels' cash flow. Though this does not end the war on drug violence. It will only create more problems in the future. In the meantime, we need to be hopeful, we need to stay positive.
As President of Mexico, I have found some solutions to drug violence that has been rampaging though out Mexico and it's costing collateral damage. In order to solve this problem is for all the people of Mexico need to put a lot of work and effort to remove drug gangs off from the streets and having strong support from our neighbor country: the United States. This problem has been going on since 2007; nevertheless, the death rates are increasing rapidly; also the worst part is that half of the government is involved in supporting drug gangs rather than fight against them. The drug war is trowing Mexico and parts of a few states like New Mexico, Texas, and California by killing innocent people and having drug rates though Mexico and parts of the United States. The best solution is to ask the United State with strong military support. Mexico is at the brink of losing it's country to the drug cartels and I am not going to let and let people just dead in the cross fire. We need to put more and more military on the streets with extreme caution. They military and the police need to go house to house, store to store, and build to build to find the drug gangs until the their leaders are found or killed. Once the war is over, I will immediately illegal to all the types of drugs in Mexico. If anyone is trying to start a new drug war, anyone, the police well use deadly force. Many people of Mexico, including the police and Mexican soldiers who are fighting in this war, are dying from this war, families torn apart for losing their love ones because of this drug war; it's sickliness me. So in order to end this war once and for all, I ask for the United States of America to give Mexico military support; with it we can put an end to the drug war and arresting or killing the drug gangs so we can have peace to Mexico and the states from the U.S. If people could continued on making the anti-drug violence and keep putting in military on the streets and hunting down the drug lords, then we could end this drug war once and for all.
My name is Joe Kuster, I have recently been elected to become the president of Mexico. I am a 19 year old wedo given the big problem of drug violence. Everyone is curious on how I will deal with these matters.
First of all, reliable enforcement is needed. In Mexico the police branch has been very careless and out to make a buck. People are needed who truely want the country to get better. Second, more laws need to be made. Everyone thinks that it is easy to pay off Mexican police. I feel if we enforce new laws the citizens will feel a change in mood of the govermental force. NO more drugs, prostitution, drinking age is 21, all citizens under 18 years of age as of 2011 everyone has to graduate highschool. Third, new jobs are going to be made to help the need for money. After these big time drug dealers are taken out, we will confiscate all the money they possibly have and throw them in jail for life. On the count of ruining a country. Last, consistence is the key. As long as the law stay enforced and people stay true to their country the drug problem will reduce.
Drug violence is worldwide problem that have affected a lot of people. Being the president of Mexico, my first priority would be the secure and safe my people and the country. In order to do that, I would first isolate the drug cartels lords from their political connections by eliminating the government officials they work with. Secondly, I would try to get to their best drug supplier or sources and offer them a better deal. I would also try and import a cheaper and better drug quality from countries like Thailand and Afghanistan. Then I would fold the drug market with better quality and with reasonable price, which will lead drug prices to fall. That way, profit of drug business would minimize to its lowest and the drug business would not worth the risk. That would lead a lot of people to find something else than dealing drugs, but unfortunately, that will increase drug abuses. After taking over the drug business and being the biggest supplier, I would raise drug prices to its highest; in order to decrease hard core drug abuses, I would legalize marijuana to be an alternative and less harmful drug. Legalizing marijuana as an alternative drug have shown great result in decreasing hard core drug abuse like in Holland.
Having a group of people with whom you trust is the most important thing when you are put in a position of leadership. This group of people will be those I, the President of Mexico, will be looking to. Having the trust of the civilian people becomes second. They become second priority because the government and law enforcement have to be strong before they can be of any help to the civilians. After filtering out my head group, we will gather our law enforcement and begin a filtering program. This will include questionairs, lie detecting tests, sacrificial tests, and video footage review of law enforcement. The reason for this filtering program is to stop the unwanted hands of the cartel contaminating the government and law. Once the government and local law enforcement are filtered, I feel very strongly that many positive things will fall into place. Once a military is well established, we can then concentrate on Navy Seal training with the American program. Our combat must be in the best shape if we are to make a dent in the large cartel. While our programs and training take place, our hospitals and food programs will become another main focus. Since the people of Mexico are in need of health in general, I will make it my goal to keep them alive, well, and well fed. Once I have gained the trust in my head leaders, my government, my law enforcement, and the Mexican Community, we together will become a very strong force.
The question was asked if I was president of Mexico, how could I stop the drug problem. There are multiple ways of stopping the drug problem being president in Mexico. I would try and stop the drug problem by locking up all the known drug lords in Mexico. This way would be very hard, so I would have to make sure I get a team of special agents together that I feel that would be able to get the job done. The team would consist of five deadly agents. The agents would be The Rock, Bruce Willis, Steven Sengal, Jackie Chan, and Chris Tucker. That would be my elite force. The reason I chose these guys is because they all have a specific quality needed in order to make the mission a success. The Rock is needed for his strength, Bruce Willis is needed for his capability of leading, Steven Sengal is needed for his fighting moves, Jackie Chan is needed for his martial arts and Chris Tucker is needed for his jokes and his willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I will send all these men to Mexico hoping they could fulfill my mission. They will search every house in search for drug dealers or drugs. The more drugs and drug dealers found, the less problems my country will have. Any drug dealers caught with drugs will suffer major consequences. That goes go any drug offender, a pusher or a user. The little children and the people of Mexico are all I care about and I do not want drugs to be an issue. Being appointed president, I feel it is my duty to protect the people from harm’s way.
Dear citizens, As your new president Its now my responsibility to protect every single one of you standing here today from drug violence. Over the last years we have had many innocent death do these problem.I have created and past a new law regarding drug violence. This law states that any person that is arrested with any type of drug will automatically be sentence to the death penalty. This law may cause anger to the narcotics and. Mafia leaders, but i am here to take every single one of you down.
Drug violence has been around for a long time in Mexico. To solve this problem, a lot of effort should be put on this issue. It is a problem so hard that around half of the government is involved in supporting drug gangs. This leads to the first solution, get rid of the corrupted people in the government. As a president, I would ask for investigations inside the government. When the investigations ends, I would eleminate the officials who were responsible for the problem. It sounds easy and simple, but doing it requaiers toughness, hard work, and commetment.
ReplyDeleteAnother approach would be legalizing drugs or some of them. By doing this, drugs will not be important as a business because prices will be controlled. In addition, supermarkets will sell them and drugs will be available. like for example, guns in the U.S. If they were illigalized, there would be a big blakmarket and a lot of problems. Another example is drugs in holland. They have there special shops for marijuana and shrimps, not just that, they also sell them in small shops. In result of this law, less drug violence there.

Drug Violence!
I Richard Gomez am now assigned president of Mexico. My number one problem
with this country is drug violence. There are a variety of ways that I can solve the
problem. Solving the problem of drug violence is very crucial to all families living in
Mexico. If I could solve this problem all families in Mexico would be better off.
One of the ways I would solve this problem is by legalizing drugs in Mexico and
talking with the US President so that they could legalize drugs in there country. Since
drugs are legalized there would be no reason to fight over drug smuggling spots. There
might be alot of drug abusers, but that is way better than drug violence such as people
getting shot, stabbed, assaulted, and even killed.
Another way we can solve the problem of drug violence is by me the president
teaming up with the drug cartels and helping them reunite with one another. The reason
drug cartels are created is so that they can make money. So if all the drug cartels team
up and create this one super drug cartel they would be unstoppable. They would make
so much money in the world and make Mexico one of the richest countries in the entire
universe. With all that accomplishment they would eventually help one another out and
stop killing each.
Those are two of my ways to solve drug violence in Mexico, if I was president.
I believe the real president of Mexico should take my second solution to the drug
violence into inconsideration. It would certainly stop all the mass murders happening
around Mexico.
As President of Mexico, I have found some solutions to drug violence that has been rampaging though out Mexico and it's costing collateral damage. In order to solve this problem is for all the people of Mexico need to put a lot of work and effort to remove drug gangs off from the streets and having strong support from our neighbor country: the United States.
