Mexican business leaders seek border-policy voice

“Booming cities along Mexico’s northern border can be the “tractor” that pulls the country’s economy forward. But drug trafficking, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, migration and other problems threaten that promise, business leaders from across the region warned yesterday.

Their call came at an unprecedented forum in the Baja California capital that has drawn together hundreds of private sector participants from all along the 2,000-mile border. By speaking out for the first time on common issues, they hope to become a strong voice on public policy in the region and make the federal government take notice.”
