I do not think that is a fact known by many Americans. In 1992. Mexico created the Office of the Attorney General for Environmental Protection. the agency responsible for investigation. enforcement. and penalization for noncompliance of its environmental laws. environmental laws that. quite frankly. were adopted or borrowed from United States environmental laws. Along the border Mexico has increased its operating budget for border enforcement activities by over 400 percent. Yet only about 4 percent of the population resides in the border region. The Government is in the middle of a 3year. $460 million plan to clean up the most troubling border regions.
