Uploaded by democracynow on Oct 27, 2011 www.democracynow.org - As protests continue against Wall Street and the nation's biggest banks, Democracy Now! speaks to British journalist Ed Vulliamy, author of "Amexica: War Along the Borderline." Vulliamy exposes how one bank, Wachovia, made millions in the Mexican drug war. At the time, Wachovia was the nation's fourth-largest bank ? it has since been taken over by Wells Fargo. "You can't drive around Mexico with hundreds of billions of dollars in cash in a truck. It has to be banked," Vulliamy said. "What I found was that it is coming into the United States, into the banking system."
