Mexico pays local police nothing making them likely helpers for organized crime which is happy to pay, Americans still blamed

"Security forces in Mexico have arrested 18 police officers accused of working with the Zetas drugs cartel....

Navy officials said the 18 police agents arrested on suspicion of corruption had been receiving between 2,000 and 10,000 pesos ($140-$720; £90-£470) each per month in pay from the Zetas.

Prosecutors said they carried out protection duties and acted as look-outs for the Zetas.

They all belonged to the municipal police force.

Poorly paid and poorly trained, they are widely considered to be the force most prone to corruption."

Mike Sweeney, an Arizona Republic letter-writer underscores my column theme today:

• “Having traveled into Mexico last year to various cities on the Baja Peninsula, a distance of more than 1,000 miles round-trip, we were stopped more than 20 times at various checkpoints. At most of those stops, we were told to exit the vehicle and we were subjected to rigorous inspections. Where does Mexican President Felipe Calderón get off with his hypocritical outrage at our Senate Bill 1070?”
