MEXICO CITY, March 25 (UPI) -- The voracious demand for illegal drugs in the United States has fueled Mexico's violent drug trade, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday.
Clinton arrived in Mexico City Wednesday to meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderon. She was set to urge him to redouble his efforts to excise corruption in law enforcement and the courts, and also discuss what the United States would do to help, The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) reported. A new White House initiative announced Tuesday will deploy 450 law enforcement officers and new equipment along the border.
"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade," Clinton said, mincing no words in describing the U.S. role. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians."

Classis case of supply vs. demand. Legalize production and increase domestic supplies and the incentive for illegal activity will go away. We need to reduce are need for imported dope and explore alternative sources of highness.
