The security and stability of America's southern neighbor has been
a condition taken for granted by many U.S. policymakers. While the
U.S. defense establishment, in particular, has been focused on wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan, the potential for spillover violence from
Mexico cannot be dismissed. Over 30,000 Mexicans have been killed
since Mexican President Felipe Calderon launched a campaign to
destroy drug cartels and gangs, which have perpetrated heinous acts
of violence like dismemberments and decapitations. Small towns in
Mexico near the U.S. border have been abandoned out of fear of
criminal violence. Businesses have reconsidered their investments
and their operations in Mexico. Such large-scale violence in other
countries has led many people to seek safety by crossing an
international border. This is beginning to happen with Mexicans
seeking asylum in the United States. Dr. Kan examines the growing
movement of Mexicans who are coming to the United States out of
fear of cartel violence. Unlike illegal immigration, these Mexicans
are leaving unwillingly. The effects of such a movement, if it
increases steadily or suddenly, will force U.S. policymakers to
rethink much of the strategic environment in the hemisphere and
place pressure on them to reconsider national security priorities.
The effects will also be felt in U.S. domestic political debates
over immigration, public safety, and border security. Strategic
Studies Institute.
