There are seven drug cartels in Mexico (CRS 1). The most important cartels are Sinaloa and Juarez. The Sinaloa cartel operates in the states of Nayarit, Sinaloa and Mexico State (Reforma 1). The Juarez cartel operates in Sinaloa, Nuevo León, Chihuahua, Jalisco, Morelos; and Quintana Roo. Mexican cartels employ individuals and groups of enforcers, known as sicarios. Statistics show that more than twenty people are killed daily in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua in crimes related to drugs. Drug lords send their gunmen to strategic places where innocent people that are in the wrong place at the wrong time are killed. Narco Lords like Vicente Carrillo Fuentes and Joaquin el Chapo Guzman, fight among themselves for the territory in Chihuahua and Sinaloa. Every death increases the power that the Cartels have. In order to combat their illicit activity, The Mexican government should not delegate control of the States of Chihuahua and Sinaloa to drug cartels due to the lack of economic resources, lack of armament, and corruption.…
The United States has no more important foreign relation ship than that of which it enjoys with Mexico, and vice versa. These two countries share interwoven societies and economies. Although there have been disagreements and turbulence between the two countries, which partnership is without these? The Strength of each country's democracy is fundamental to the other's. This relationship that the two countries share directly affects that lives of millions of Mexican and United States citizens everyday. Recently these two countries have become even more unified than ever before. Tackling issues such as Border Control, Countering Narcotics, Dealing with multiple Law enforcement agencies, Human Rights laws, trade and development, etc. There are many issues that they are mutually interested in and must deal with. Yet, there are some vast differences in which these two countries are run. There are also many similarities, which we must take into account. Both Democratic Governments have similar structures, containing a legislative, judicial, and executive branch. Yet, these structures are very different internally, containing specific duties that the other country's branch may not have.…
It was a regular day for everyone in town, until a red and white truck passed by speeding down one of the main roads passing cars. Everyone got inside their homes because they knew this was not going to end well. The two trucks stopped about a block away from Joaquin’s house he saw everything happen. Then three men got out of the red truck with guns and started shooting at the white truck. The men inside the truck were trying to get cover, but they were not so innocent because they had guns and were trying to kill their cartel rivals as well. They kept firing back and forth and soon three of the same cartel survived and left the scene before any police showed up. Many people might have thought I got this scene from a movie, but Joaquin is my uncle and he witnessed all that violence while he was trying to get his kids inside the house so that they would not get hurt.…
American citizens who are elitist and ignorant are numb to the real experiences that Latinos undergo. Somewhere south of the border, a man was just killed for trespassing enemy territory. Who killed him and what was the motive? The killer will remain the same; a member of a drug-cartel. However, the motive depends on the person you ask. The American citizens who have not been exposed to the topic of cartel-related violence will immediately respond that Mexicans are innately violent so killings such as this are expected from them. While the current social narrative is that Latinos are inherently violent, adopting a new economic perspective to this that accepts that violence is only a byproduct of capitalism will lead us to solve the…
Mexico’s is at its thinnest line of being uncontrolled. Cartels are a big problem in Mexico and are ruining the country; they are a serious mater in the world we live in today.

Trust is an illusion, nothing more than a word, maybe even a trick to the drug dealing men of Mexico. The drug cartel leaders of Mexico's most infamous cartels can really only trust themselves. The drug world is a dog eat dog kind of world. Chapo had enlisted the help of El Chito to escape Puente Grande, as he drove the getaway car. “...Chapo told the guard he was thirsty. El Chito went into a shop to buy him a bottle of water. When he got back to the car Chapo was gone (pg 31).” Chapo knew the more anyone knew about his whereabouts upon his escape, the more likely he was to get caught. He simply abandoned the man who had helped him escape prison for fear that he could not trust him. Chapo was careful of who he told any crucual information…
Solving illegal immigration is by no means a small feat. It can be a very sensitive topic for many people from both the US and Mexico. The Bush Administration has developed the guest worker program. The guest worker program grants temporary legal status for a foreigner, allowing he or she to work. A great deal of difficulty lies in creating a plan than is a win-win scenario for both countries' citizens. To completely open our borders to all immigrants can pose great threat not only to America's safety but to the economy as well. Then again, to close them entirely would be a very unpopular solution for most in addition to a possible negative economic ripple.…
Mexico was once sought a place to go and visit just south of the border. Many American Citizens would go to see the nice beaches, eat some delicious seafood that was surprisingly better priced than it was here in the U.S and just have a mini vacation that was only about a 2 hour drive. However those days are long gone. Ongoing violence has broken out, even Mexican citizens fear for their safety in their own home. That cause of all this you ask; Mexican Drug Cartels. Mexican Drug Cartels have hit the news and have become more than just a group of people dealing drugs, they reached the highest level of crime there is too reach, and they are an Organized Crime organization. Let’s take it back to see how this once tourist filled country became the home to some of the most violent and heartless organizations the world has seen to date.…

The current opinion in our community is that smuggling drugs is now a serious problem in American. It is a known fact that most police officers who should be upholding the law are as corrupt as the drug dealers. Fairly low paid officers are able to accumulate enormous profit from illegal drug sale. In contrast to the traditional police corruption in which police takes bribes from gangster to look the other way rather than enforce the law, many police officer have become drugs baron themselves. Drugs corruption has also penetrated all the service of the use military as the have been given increasing responsibility for drug enforcement. Perhaps the most revealing example is the 2000 conviction of Lieutenant Colonel James Chieti, who the United States Army Commander leading America forces in Colombia. The colonel’s wife shipped $700000 worth of cocaine and heroin through the US embassy in Bogota and sold it in the US (Associated Press 02000)…
Mexico is becoming a more unstable country in recent times as the drug cartels have increased their role and grip on the populace. This factor alone presents issues for those living in that country. A life away from constant fear of death is what any reasonable human being wants. This forces many Mexicans into attempting to cross the border and illegally is their cheapest and quickest way to accomplish this. Money becomes a large contributing factor and as jobs and the Mexican economy deteriorate, more workers are trying to find a way into the U.S. to provide for their family (Politzer,…
