Unlike other LATAM nations, Mexico carries alot of historical animosity towards the US (no matter what you may hear). This precludes them from asking for real help (i.e.- military might v. "security assistance"). until they can get past that (and, if the PRI takes over again, they probably won't) it's only going to get worse.

Corruption being the key word there. Until they clean their own House. Take pride in their own Country. No amount of Aid from the U.S is going to change a thing. One of the things I learned working in Colombia and other South/Central American Countries. They loved their Country and wanted it to be a better place to live. I don't see any of that in Mexico or AStan.
