U.S. role at a crossroads in Mexico’s intelligence war on the cartels

Who can fix America’s immigration mess? Mexico.

The Washington Post

Everyone, it seems, is remaking the United States’ immigration system. The Senate and the House have their respective gangs of eight; labor and business groups have their talks; and the White House has its say, along with dozens of lobbyists and advocacy groups.

Nothing to celebrate in Mexico

The Washington Post

On first read, it might have been a hoax.
