why did President Clinton change strategy?

He didn't have much choice. The Mexicans didn't want to work with us anymore.

We greatly ****ed them off. U.S. law enforcement literally knows no limits.

* The United States subsequently arranged for a Mexican doctor involved
* in a murder, Humberto Alvarez Machain, to be kidnapped from Mexico and
* spirited to the United States to stand trial.
*
* The abduction outraged the Mexican government.
*
* When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the legality of the kidnapping in
* June 1992, Mexico temporarily suspended its participation in joint
* anti-narcotics operations with the United States.
*
* Then Mexico adopted its Mexicanization policy a year later [keep American
* drug enforcement out of Mexico], and the State Department said that the
* abduction was directly to blame for Mexico's increased concerns about
* national sovereignty.

Of course, that's no reason not to check our U.S. borders.
