MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – President Felipe Calderon declared three days of mourning on Friday and demanded a crackdown on drugs in the United States after armed men torched a casino in northern Mexico, killing at least 52 people.

Under intense pressure as violence soars, Calderon said he would send more federal security forces to the city of Monterrey, where gunmen set fire to an upmarket casino on Thursday in one of the worst attacks of Mexico's drugs war.

Lashing out at corrupt officials in Mexico and "insatiable" U.S. demand for drugs for fomenting the violence, Calderon urged Congress to stamp out drug consumption and stop illegal trafficking of weapons across the border into Mexico.

"We're neighbors, we're allies, we're friends, but you are also responsible," a somber and angry Calderon said to the United States in a speech after meeting his security advisers.

….But he doesn't want the US to stop the ILLEGALS from coming here…What an ASS!

I hate to actually get serious on here, but not all the violence in Mexico is drug related; it would be impossible to have all this going on and every bit of it be drug related.  Of course, it behooves the politicians and our police state officials to tout Mexican violence as all because of drugs.  There is something else afoot in addition to the drug cartels.
