The acceptance of elements of the US Navy entering the country to train the armed forces is a recognition of the institutional weaknesses that the Mexican State has to guarantee the security of its inhabitants.
"We celebrate the fact that this institutional weakness is recognized, we celebrate the collaboration, we celebrate the training, we welcome them to improve our institutions. Finally, it is recognized that public security in Mexico is not working."
Roberto Quijano Sosa, President of the Citizen Council of Public Security of Baja California (CCSPBC), pointed out that of the three issues that interest the United States, migration, tariffs and drug trafficking, the only place where they are concentrated and present is in Tijuana.
"The presence of the National Guard and the Army comes only to the issue of fentanyl. They do not come to investigate, they do not come to arrest, they simply come to minimize the crossing of fentanyl," he commented.
For this reason, he called for the actions taken by the federal government not to be improvised responses, such as the one taken by deploying National Guards and army elements to protect the border.
