In recommending decertification. they exhibit a limited understanding of the fundamental changes that are occurring In Mexico and the enormous stakes for the United States of continued cooperation with one of this countrys most important partners. At this delicate time in Mexican history. a decision on the part of the United States to decertify Mexico could seriously jeopardize Mexicos efforts to strengthen the rule of law and the collaboration that we have in the war against the drug lords. It would also dampen the MexicoUnited States relationship. from trade. to immigration. even to border environmental concerns. The financial markets would react poorly to a rumble in bilateral relations. undermining the painstaking of. forts that Mexico has made to stabilize its currency and to strengthen its economy. it Is the Mexican people who would end up paying the economic price for decertification. not drug traffickers. And as one who has family in Mexico who fights every day to stop this drug trafficking. it is an affront that this Congress would think that the Mexican people are not working hard to stop drug trafficking.
