EL PASO - Mexico is in the process of a virtual invasion by the United States, but this time quietly and controlled, after the Mexican government
revealed the presence of 500 U.S. federal agents to “spy” on their territory. Officials of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) said that the U.S. has
that number of officers from various departments. Reportedly, the purpose of these elements, which are legally in Mexico, is to obtain information on
criminal organizations, investigate and prosecute, in order that the criminal’s activities do not jeopardize U.S. security.
According to officials of the PGR, in 2005 only 60 U.S. agents were deployed south of the border. Currently, Mexican authorities are working with
about five hundred members of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The PGR has reported that binational
cooperation in fighting criminal organizations and drug trafficking has generated positive results, including the location of Arturo Beltran Leyva,
“El Barbas.”
Charles Bowden, journalist and author of several books on drug trafficking, including “Murder City: Ciudad Juarez and the Global Economy’s New Killing
Fields”, says sending more and more agents to Mexico can be a pilot project for a larger plan for the future. Apparently, the U.S. fears war could
break out. Therefore, it is sending agents to Mexico to see if the stage is set in that country. America wants to have a level of control and
repression south of the border, and Mexico obviously has two forces: change and liberation and violence and crime. And the U.S. does not want it to be
chaos and crime.
