[|Interview with Specialist on Mexico and Central America] (Interview with Maureen Meyer) This interview with Maureen Meyer, a specialist in Central America and Mexico conflicts, talks about how the problems with the cartels in Mexico are very bad, but if we press hard and work to stop them we will be able too, but we need to start to work on it as soon as we can. Also, she said that the American and Mexican governments are trying their best to work together and stop the cartels from being able to operate. This shows that all around the world you need to put everyone together and work things out, or everyone will suffer from thing that didn't even need to happen.
