A looming election join me Steve Clemons in conversation with leading voices on the bottom line your weekly take on u. S. Politics and society on aljazeera. The attack on the 17th of october 2090 shocked me. This in lower drugs took over the streets of the Northern City of coolie a country with devastating the rate of high powered weaponry. From machine guns to a k 47 assault rifles screwdriver guns roam to the teeth despite strict gun control. Gang members smuggle weapons across the border from the United States. About 70 percent of the guns seized in mexico to trace to the u. S. Successive Mexican Governments of asked the u. S. To do more to stop weapons flow. For action of growing louder because of the countrys highest murder rate. One of the highest. But how is mitch hooke policing its border and dealing with those weapons once theyre in the country. The hitmen and the wife of a victim of gun crime to try to get some ounces. This in lower cuts which was led by kino chapo guzman before his capture an extradition to the us remains one of mexicos largest most powerful criminal organizations. And needs guns to reinforce like dominance. Weve been told of so. Near the border where weapons a student once theyve been smuggled in from the United States. So we arrived in cali just across the border from california to try to get access to a stash house and speak to the governor in charge of it. After days of waiting things began to move we finally got the green light to visit one of the many stash houses that the sin the lower call toll has where they keep the guns they smuggled across the border from the United States before distributing them throughout mexico. What happens here in this house. So. I want to. The latter come with a key. But i mean is this one of the only stash houses the cartel has around here or there quite a lot of them across the border joining me. For his own you dont waste a lot on armor. A while you know. Some of the guns are from the cartel for internal use that others of the guns you sell to do you sell them to you sell them to other criminal groups for the aluminum to me was not known as im going to think. They would open up that oprahs elementals are me was i am i get i mean. I. Was early because it all and then i got a mouth like that among us where he is. Living. Or how we use is it to get them across the border from the United States to mexico allowed. Our. Devising. She. Some flowers you know i wanted to meet. Up with the. Done i am an it was it loud one a. No samples and i didnt and the last day or another minute i ended up with. A mass of your basic. Because i think today move worried about you your groceries or what you might. In the United States legally the new the new bring back guns when. You. Get a moment. We saw that for us selves when we made the journey from the u. S. Into mexico on a busy thursday night. On the mexican side of the border there were no passport controls we saw no border officers and just 2 Customs Officials checking the long lines of cars were already through were into mexico. Would you say that the police are really focused in trying to stop what youre doing or not really voice. You know their gear well you may be more normal to live your life as it. Will mean. All of you and ill keep that long long long and for hours and. Foreign minister marcello abroad has said that the guns from the u. S. The most worrying issue and the government has plans to strengthen Border Security we asked for an interview with him and mexicos Customs Agency to discuss those Border Security plans we didnt hear back meanwhile weapons continue to flow across. What type of guns do you bring back usually. Is. But imo. Cortical result. Limit. What they see. As alarmist while a lot of those. Images say theres a lot lot lot of black america sinco as a long long. Have you ever had problems with the mexican authorities or the Mexican Police for what you do so then you bring them no shame in r. L. Those places matter what happened that would come out in a game. Or. You dont know that on the net or you can was a lousy im a going to make fun of it how would it affect your business if suddenly the border got close to guns and you couldnt smuggle them in from the us anymore he said i love and theyre going to run their mouth. Open a parallel marinol. A while youll see you know what i thought about it where else could you get them from there in this sort of quantity not. All of us alive and plenty of other people and all my. Money. Is on my father. Get a better. Record murder rate lots of violence do you think that. If guns werent readily available if they could come over the border from the United States that would lower the murder rate in the country that would stop some of the violence. That wasnt the. Last. Argument in the. Scene why am i back. On my chair. Many of the weapons that pass through this stash else destined for the similar cartels gunmen. We met one of them at a hotel many colleagues. His job is to protect the cartels could cane and other us it and kill its enemies. He says he was there on the 17th of october when mexican soldiers captured the son of a chapel or video guzman in coolie account only for the cartels gunmen to force them to give him up. Your. Right eye there is sand or stool or. Watergate cause. You know my secret that this level of the job. It was a humiliation for the mets can government and another potent sign of the similar cartels power. Your daughter but i got a bill as you know a lot from. Where this. Without the end there. But on a. Careful not only among. The temple. Gaunt out of many to see one is better much of it is border borne which of course portabella say i want to go to my lab last. I said of course as they cannot stop at any moment. I consequences see. What sort of what sort of weapons what sort of guns do you and the people that work with us for one moment was for was for him lot of mascotte of the more like an old one and what didnt they seem call been quite in the single most amount also much. Adam a lot of us put a lot more to later King Solomons ill. Never and i mean but we empathize. With the people that are most. Likely the pain in the location but at the bottom but i want to look at. What good it was when the guns come from we havent the thought of any of the other near the also news. So. Weapons from the police or the military. But the other watch will get there only in the. Military members of the book and guarding the hen. In one but ends up with better go better busier more what i mean either the theres a lot of me that is. Disarmament take their own but the ok theres a ballad i mean this is sometimes also happened weve heard the police in the army not officially but also offices. Sell their arms sometimes to organized crime see as a gear im broke. You can. Play out a muscle get them the entropy carmels what they are what i was told. To build. I mean to say.

If this in a lower cost hell hadnt had the access to weapons serial numbers out there or yemen comalies is easy support among the few people in the middle out among the media and the un. Alone the one we are most used when in the middle of an amount. Of benevolent c c dollars in money overseas that able to diffuse even seen or she says that i dont know what the what the. Parliament concede a lot of. So you see hes abusing medical because of how many people have been killed. With with the weapon you know. Like when they have to be able to. See sears you know ask them to hand we talking about kinds of people or hundreds of people have an idea i suppose. They say me and given the law people would say the Mexican Government a big part of whats to blame here at these weapons arriving from the United States we can also subscribe to that we take the responsibility for the death you cause just for yourself or your group is that of course when you know when a booking protocol out of them of being read years of year about seem to be amazing year was either edging out again. To if not all guys had a bullet on the us a lot of people in there will get what opiate or well lets put it on them up and they get the full look if there are multiple of their particular about book it is.

Weve been crossing over the buddha from the u. S. To mexico and its a sea of cards with maybe just one person from customs just checking all divides very very easy to get across and theres no a lot of checks and how does that affect the job that youre trying to do and keep the murder rate down here because it seems like you could just get across the gun very very easily and that were going to see can that on the parliament with dollars i am of a story comment a lot i say.
