Acapulco's bishops call for US action on immigration, drug traffic

The bishops said that comprehensive immigration reform in the US would ease the latter problem. They suggested that violence in Mexico was attributable to "arms trafficking coming from the northern neighbor," downplaying the importance of the drug traffic that flows toward the north.
