Mexican Police Crack Down on Crime

It seems that Mexican Federal Police have vowed their support in order to keep the tourist areas of Acapulco safe. Due to a recent increase in crime, the newly elected president has dispatched extra forces to the area. The police clad in black and carrying assault rifles have apparently been targeting any large vehicles with tinted windows due to their popularity among drug runners. Specifically, the police have been focusing on the area of Acapulco ridden with hotels frequented by foreigners. This is interesting because it shows Mexico's interest in their tourism and relations with foreigners. They realize that a large part of their economy is their tourism and they need to protect its interests in the country. I find this interesting because this is just one more case where American interests and citizens are playing a large part of policy in foreign nations. The president has vowed that the presence will be permanent and that the region will continue to be safe despite recent problems.
