Howoii Tribune-Herald, Sunday, June 1, 1986 3 1 Drug trafficking widespread drug traffickers who are entering the United States from Mexico will be much more difficult, than previous successful campaigns to stop the flow of illegal drugs coming into the Florida area Wilson said there are 2,000 miles of U.S.-Mexico border involving the states of California. Arizona. New Mexico and Texas, and that interception efforts will have to include aircraft. He said he is proposing that a greater share of illegal drug money con fiscated by customs be allocated to the fight against drug abuse. "People who are in the drug smuggling business are making, huge profits and they are able to fly sophisticated equipment across the border.

When they are spotted, they simply turn around and land in Mexico," he said. Wilson said the use of joint. U.S. Mexican crews with permission from. Mexico to enter their airspace will allow agents to chase the smugglers back across the border and make arrests in Mexico.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. UPI Drug lords in Mexico are so powerful they almost represent "a government within the government," a California senator charged yesterday. Sen. Pete Wilson, who served as mayor of San Diego for 11 years, told a news conference at the Mexico U.S. Interparliamentary conference that corruption in Mexico is so widespread that Americans are wondering whether joint U.S.

-Mexico drug eradication measures will work. "In order for any joint efforts to work, the United States must keep up the pressure on the Mexican Attorney General to combat corruption among Mexican federal law enforcement officers," said Wilson. "There is almost a government within the government in Mexico, with law enforcement officers who are supposedly fighting truck trafficking on the payroll of the traffickers themselves," he said. Wilson's remarks came on the heels of a statement by Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, conference president," that the United States and Mexico will wage the largest, most effective joint drug eradication program in history.

"We are committed to using $250 million in Department of Defense equipment to concentrate on an air interdiction program across the border. In addition, we are discussing the possibility of using joint American-Mexican crews to man aircraft to detect drug smugglers along the border." Sen. Antonio Riva Palacio Lopez, president of the Mexican delegation, said that Mexico is in agreement to cooperate with the U.S. despite economic difficulties created by a $98 billion foreign debt. "We cannot, because of our economic circumstances spend the same amount of money as the United States, but we can say that the government of Mexico is spending 42 percent of the budget df the Attorney General's office in the fight against drug traf: ickers," he said.

"In addition, we have 25,000 army personnel that have been assigned to the task of eradicating drugs at their source." Wilson said that the problem of illegal immigration were also souring relations between the U.S. and Mexico, which he said are "deteriorating rapidly."
