GLENDALE, AZ - The former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, returned to the Valley Thursday for the first time since 2012. He was in town to attend a dinner focusing on economic partnerships in the Hispanic community.

Before sitting as the guest of honor, in a one-on-one interview with ABC15, he addressed several topics that directly affect Americans.

On the issue of tourism in Mexico, President Fox acknowledged that violence between drug cartels has kept many away. He says Mexico is trapped in the middle of drug wars between South America and the United States.

Fox believes it’s time for the U.S. government to crack down harder on drug users and suppliers on this side of the border. “I see the drugs circulating everywhere here in the United States and nobody does anything to stop it. On the contrary the instruction to Mexico is stop them down there, we don't want it here. That's unfair,” said Fox.

President Fox believes the other solution to stopping violence is to legalize marijuana in the U.S. and in Mexico. He said it should be up to parents to educate their kids on the dangers of drug use, similar to alcohol and tobacco education.
