Obama blamed drugs and guns, but here's an alternative

another ideal is to supply arms to the Mexicans citizens, so they could reduce/remove the cartel violence in their lives and also reduce their need to flee to the US for safety.

On Friday, President Obama blamed drugs and guns for the massive crime sprees and continued violence that has disrupted so many lives and caused chaos and fear in Mexico.

According to Yahoo, Obama blames “illegal drugs” for being the root cause of the violence in Mexico while giving a speech at Mexico's Anthropology Museum.

"Much of the root cause for violence that has been happening here in Mexico, for which so many Mexicans have suffered, is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States.”

But Obama didn’t stop there. Despite suffering a blow to his gun reform policy a few weeks ago, the president continues to stump for “common sense” gun reform and managed to put some of the blame not just on the drugs, but the desire for dangerous criminals to acquire weapons.

"Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States," Obama said. "I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will."

"But at the same time, as I've said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people," he added.
