Both governments have also agreed to open a Narcotics Fusion Center, where officers from both countries will work together in Mexico, although the text does not specify where in these facilities will be located. The newspaper quoted Mike Vigil, former head of International Operations for the U.S.
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), who has said that long ago an alliance of this nature would have been impossible "to Calderon's concern" about how the American intervention can be seen at home. " "The Mexican Constitution prohibits foreign military or police institutions to operate in Mexico, except in extremely limited," he recalls saying.

"NIGHTMARE" Calderon would have put Obama in the Summit held in Washington on March 3 concern about the "nightmare" Mexicans living because of the violence of organized crime, reveal 'New York Times.
The quote was preceded by great stress raised after the death of U.S. immigration officer and the growing accusations of Mexico's alleged trafficking of weapons from the U.S. to its territory, which is supplying the drug cartels. "Calderon told Obama that his country was the nightmare of violence because the U.S.
