Obama appears to have no coherent foreign policy toward Mexico, unless the administration plans to legalize drugs to end bloodshed across the border and accept millions of Mexican refugees as part of a stealth plan pushing the nation toward a North American Union, Jerome Corsi’s Red Alert reports.

Hillary Clinton, arriving in Mexico last week for her first official visit as secretary of State, promptly blamed the United States for the drug war, claiming the nation’s demand for drugs and its supply of weapons are essential elements supporting drug lords.

“Those policy pronouncements sounded dangerously as if the Obama administration is setting the stage for legalizing drugs, starting with marijuana, and attacking the Second Amendment,” Corsi wrote.

Attorney General Eric Holder has already suggested that more gun law restrictions are needed in the United States to win the drug war in Mexico.

Rather than fight the war, the Obama administration appears ready to surrender, Corsi contends.

The Obama administration has developed a contingency plan for millions of Mexicans to flee the drug war by coming across the southern border as illegal immigrants.

Rather than turn back the refugees at the border, the Obama administration is planning to create tent cities to house and feed the millions fleeing Mexico.

“With Obama administration political correctness, no one will be permitted to call these so-called refugees anything as direct or honest as illegal immigrants,” Corsi wrote.

The result may be that the United States will absorb another 10 percent of Mexico’s population, with no prospect of those refugees ever returning home.

Corsi said a simple solution would be to militarize the border and keep all drugs out of the United States, a job the U.S. military could do if the Obama administration had any will to do so.

“Instead of doing this, Secretary of State Clinton will undoubtedly set the stage for the Obama administration to spend hundreds of millions of dollars under the Merida Initiative, to further arm the Mexican military,” Corsi wrote.

Red Alert’s author, whose books “The Obama Nation” and “Unfit for Command” have topped the New York Times best-sellers list, said the Mexican military has proven totally ineffective in the drug war.

“What possible assurance does the Obama administration have that our funding will not be used to provide weapons that ultimately end up in the hands of the drug lords?” he asked.

Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972. For nearly 25 years, beginning in 1981, he worked with banks throughout the U.S. and around the world to develop financial services marketing companies to assist banks in establishing broker/dealers and insurance subsidiaries to provide financial planning products and services to their retail customers. In this career, Corsi developed three different third-party financial services marketing firms that reached gross sales levels of $1 billion in annuities and equal volume in mutual funds. In 1999, he began developing Internet-based financial marketing firms, also adapted to work in conjunction with banks.

In his 25-year financial services career, Corsi has been a noted financial services speaker and writer, publishing three books and numerous articles in professional financial services journals and magazines.
