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.…
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. The cartels are formed in groups and structures to control the production and distribution of narcotic drugs. They are criminal groups that develop and control drug trafficking operations. Mexico, the state that is right now is a very heavy situation that is difficult to control. Cartels range from wacky managed agreements and work separately and have rivals they are to dodge. The Country, Mexico is a major supplier of heroin to the U.S. market, and the largest foreign supplier of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.

On June 3rd, 2012 five bodies were found burned to a crisp inside of a sport utility vehicle about sixty miles south of Phoenix, Arizona in Pinal County. The bodies in the vehicle badly burned and the vehicle located in a high area for drug and human trafficking between Mexico and the United States. Bodies which were placed in the vehicle one in the front passenger seat and four more lying down in the cargo area, all clearly deceased upon the arrival of United States Border Patrol Agents. Was this an act of random violence or was it a connection to a drug trafficking organization known as a Cartel. This is just one instance of violence that has taken place in the area of Vekol Valley desert according to Pinal County Sheriff Babeu (CNN Wire Staff, 2012). Drug Cartels are making their way into the United States at an alarming rate. Their violent tactics are being seen across the border and law enforcing agencies are responding to their actions and finding the usual outcome which is violence unlike anything that has ever been seen. Historically Drug Cartels only…
As in the December of 2006 sent out by former President Felipe Calderon and then continued under another man known as his successor Enrique Pena Nieto, the drug war stuck out a series of ultimate profile blows against Mexican cartels. Although mean while through the same time, it triggered and caused attention nationwide violence without coming anywhere close to defeating the country's drug traffickers."But this "kingpin strategy" of targeting the heads of cartels has done little to quell the violence and bring security to Mexico. At least 60,000 people are believed to have died between 2006 and 2012 as a result of the drug war as cartels, vigilante groups, and the Mexican army and police have battled each other. "-Jeremy Bender.with all violence going on even the most innocent people are being involved. Killings over worthless fights over such small things as drugs. Knowing the smallest amount can cause thousands of deaths. Even now a days there is still killings and the more the time passes the more there will be as fights keep coming. Shown in the research killings are seemingly increasing every…
Nowadays, México is best-known in the world for its insecurity and murders rather than for being a tourist destination or its food. You can find dangerous people in streets and no one would say anything because they don’t care, since they’re in control of many things and have more power than the government and the army do. But drug lords are usually in conflicts between them, and even if you’re not involved in crimes or violence you are reached by them, no matter what.…
Could the Mexican Drug War Reach the United States? Could the government be doing more?…
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.…

I would have to say, it that if affect our youth. The gangs that I wanted to focus on are the Latino Gangs. There are many Latino Gangs but, I will mainly focus on the MS -13, 18th Street, Florence 13 and the Mexican Mafia. I feel that these are the gangs that is going to make the connection between Latino Gangs and drug trafficking. Latino gangs have gotten so out of control that it has affected the community and are on the verge of taking over the government of Mexico. Latino gang problem is not just an issue for Mexico but, it has become an issue for the United States because the problem is right next door and is spilling over into the United States. According, to the media Latino gangs are implies, that Latino gangs are the most violent and the most organized gangs. In this paper I will discuss relationship between the Latino Gangs and drug cartels. I will also discuss the relationship between the Latino Gangs and Prison Gangs. Other things may be discussed in this paper like the history of this particular gang, definition of a gang, what has been done to control the gang involvement. Lastly, it will recommend a solution to the problem. When it comes to Latino Gangs, I feel that they’re connected to the drug…
“Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me. And I ain't never did a crime I ain’t have to do.” -Tupac. The war on drugs targeted many communities particularly those of color. Throughout America, people of color have always been the target. In the 1980’s and 90’s the drug war increased drastically. The war on drugs was just another reason to fuck with the people of color. The United States constantly targets minorities, and the crisis of the drug war increased the prison population causing even more coas in the country.…
According to an article posted by William Booth in The Washington Post, he said that “Mexico spends billions of dollars each year confronting violent trafficking organizations that threaten the security of the country but whose main market is the United States, the largest consumer of drugs in the world.” As we can see, the problem of drugs in U.S. directly affects Mexico, because the government has to deal with the cartels that take thousands of innocent lives year by year.…
The big dilemma for the government is how to exactly stop the drugs from being smuggled in via the U.S. borders. Millions of dollars are spent every year to fund different agencies dedicated specifically to stop drug trafficking, drug use, and criminal activity related to drugs. The Mexican border is one of the largest for drugs. According to the article:“Mexican cartels allegedly have used their vast financial resources to corrupt Mexican public officials who either turn a blind eye to cartel activities or work directly for them.” ( Cook, C. Q. (2007, October). That is another major problem because if the people who are suppose to be stopping the trafficking are helping the cartels, then that sets everything back even more. Creechan (2006) notes that, "Drug cartels in Mexico control approximately 70% of the foreign narcotics that flow into the United States." So if the Mexican cartel controls over half, and has help from corrupt police officials, it may seem that drug trafficking has been going on for too long and has too much corruption to be…
Mexico is one of the country that has a lot drug and drug dealers flowing inside the country, and is to the point that the government almost cannot even control it. The border between U.S. and Mexico is really busy every day, so it is very easy for a drug dealers to get between countries, and will not be cached. “Although precise figures are difficult to calculate, according to estimates by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), around 90% of the cocaine sold in the U.S. in 2007 came from Mexico, up from around 66% in 2000.” (Decriminalizing Marijuana), if they drug was been decriminalized, the number will only increase only will never go down, and it will cause a lot of problems between the…
