It isn't: neither is Mexico "sinking" nor the US is helping in any meaningful way to solve Mexico's problems.
Mexico is more like a "work in progress", and not the "failed state" depicted by alarmist media. It has its own share of issues, such as insecurity and lack of opportunities, but its people is certainly working to solve them and nowadays it is in much better shape than say, the rest of the BRIC bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China) which are countries with lower quality of life than Mexico, and with the exception of Russia, also smaller income per capita (2013):
- Russia: US$17,518
- Mexico: US$16,731
- Brazil: US$11,909
- China: US$9,233
- India: US$3,843
On the other hand, American involvement in Mexico is mostly relegated to cooperation agreements against common security issues, which includes training, equipment and intelligence, but dollars are not given away directly to the Mexican government.
US foreign aid to Mexico is valued in US$822.4 million (2011), which is much less than what is given to other "troubled spots", such as the Philippines (US$1.22 billion), Haiti (US$2.53 billion) or Afghanistan (US$25.85 billion). In terms of aid per person, Mexico receives less than US$3.62 per capita, while other countries have an increased direct aid, such as Afghanistan (US$434.32), Israel (US$404.97) or Jordan (US$130.73).
