Mexico's income president, Enrique Pena Nieto, has decidedly shifted the country's focus on drugs to its education, business and energy sectors. In particular, Mr. Nieto wants to drill more oil, assemble more cars and build better bridges to grow the $1 billion per day in commerce that happens across the busiest border crossing in the world.

Mr. Nieto's strategy is designed to improve the country's domestic economy in order to reduce poverty, which could/should lead to a reduction in crime and illegal immigration to the U.S., among other things. Combined, these efforts could also help boost the country's stock market, making Mexico a renewed investment destination.
