Mexico not called a democratic country because of following reasons -:1. since its independence in 1930, mexico hold elections after every 6 years. country has never been under dictatorship or millitary rule. But until 2000 every election was won by party called PRI.2. PRI was known to use many dirty tricks to win elections.teachers , parents , employes and workers in government offices were forced to vote for PRI.3. It all mean that, mexico had not free and fair elections where those who currently in power have a fair chance in loosing.so, it is not a democratic country.

The United States is working under the false premise that Mexico is a functioning democracy, one where federal authorities are doing their best to strengthen public institutions and uproot rampant organized crime and corruption. It is thought that crime and corruption stem principally from broken local institutions and social decay. But we need to turn this logic on its head. The real problem is at the top, not the bottom, of the Mexican political system. And the key obstacles reside within the Mexican federal government.

The upcoming U.S. presidential elections, and the ongoing Democratic and Republican primaries, present an excellent opportunity to rethink relations between the United States and its neighbor to the south. Donald Trump has proposed closing the border. Hillary Clinton defends the status quo, grounded in a vicious cycle of complicities between economic and political elites on both sides of the border.
