His Excellency.
My apologies for the delay.
The U.S. agency responsible for detecting illegal weapons coming into Mexico is not cooperating properly with its southern neighbor, despite a clear increase in their investigations and seizures, according to a report released Tuesday.
The agency responsible for the smuggling of alcohol, snuff Arms and Explosives (ATF ) "a systematic and consistent does not share information with their Mexican allies and some of its partner agencies in the United States," said the internal report, Department of Justice on the Gunrunner Project (Arms Dealer), launched in 2005.
In the last three years of the program between June 2007 and June 2010, the Project Gunrunner has intensified its efforts to the wave of criminal violence in Mexico highlights the study.
The ATF, with just over 5,000 staff, "increased the number of inspections of gun dealers in the Southwest border by 133%, and 37% the number of detainees in that region (California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas) during this period.
For example, the agency deployed for four months a dedicated team of 100 researchers in Texas that ended with more than 1,000 inspections and investigations that led to the arrest of more than 400 weapons.
But at the same time, the Agency agents often do not share data with each other extensively, nor with other major offices to combat organized crime and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), despite the fact that criminal organizations do not distinguish between trafficking in weapons, drugs or people.
"We found that 68% of the cases opened by the Project Gunrunner are individual cases and that some officials discourage the ATF agents who want to carry out highly complex investigations required against senior members of organizations traffickers, "says the text.
The ATF increased the number of permanent staff in Mexico until 8, and has trained hundreds of police in that country.
However, "attempts to extend the tracing of firearms in Mexico have not been successful," says the report.
The number of firearms tracing requests from Mexico has increased explosively since 2005, but not always successfully, the text explains.
ATF in 2005 handled a total of 1,518 requests for identification of weapons from Mexico, and could meet 44% of them. In 2009 were more than 21,000 requests, but only 31% (just over 6,000) were successful.
The request that he identify the source of the gun seller confiscated from a Mexican criminal do not usually fail because they are too late, and also because the Mexican researchers do not consider it a really useful method, criticized the report.

The technical secretary of the National Public Security Council, Alejandro Poire, said Mexico will maintain the fight against organized crime, because the isolated and unilateral legalization of marijuana will not change the attitude violent criminal gangs. In a message read at the official residence of Los Pinos, said that legalizing marijuana will not affect the finances of criminal organizations because they have diversified in their illegal and their substances, and engaged in kidnapping, theft, extortion. Alejandro Poire described the gangs as "criminal entrepreneurs" who seek to poison rich Mexican society and other countries selling all kinds of drugs. He stated that the unlawful conduct of criminals will not change for the legalization of one drug is marijuana because they are criminal entrepreneurs, he reiterated. He considered that "legalizing drugs does not end the violence and legalize marijuana in an isolated and unilateral without impacting consumption patterns, it will not reduce the addiction and it could increase." He clarified that the legalization of marijuana would generate incentives for consumers and in this area has not seen any benefit in the use of marijuana during the debate that is already among the society about the legalization of drugs. He reiterated that the federal government will continue its fight very strongly against organized crime and expressed his conviction that the problem of organized crime can only be combated with the transformation of police, prosecutors and judges to apply an appropriate social policy against impunity .
