The title is a lie (typical of zerohedge): the quoted text is never used by an official of Mexico.

As to the (implied, not stated) threat, it would be pretty silly. The US has a whole lot more well-paid and motivated clean cops. Refusing to cooperate in the drug war wouldn't induce the drug lords to move to America, they would just keep selling at a lower price. The whole drug war is a dismal failure and everyone knows it. The cartels aren't shitting up Mexico because of cooperation with drug laws, they're doing it because Mexico hasn't finished cleaning up its corruption problem.
