Mexican Drug Cartels

The Mexican Cartels are currently taking control over mexico slowly and powerfully. Most news is not heard since these cartels are really hard to find and manage where they change from direction to direction. This is a new war ready to take place that is reaching everywhere the cartels go. They are leaving nothing but misery and madness behind on their path of being the world’s most ferocious group of people. Mexican Drug Cartels need to be stopped because the Mexican Government is struggling to keep the power away from the Cartels, they have no regrets in what they do, they are spreading throughout the U.S. as well, and Mexican Cartels are known as the most dangerous groups in the

world and are always armed.
The ‘Mexican Drug Cartels need to be stopped because’ the Mexican Government is struggling to keep the power away from the Cartels. The war will never stop until they are finished off. “The Mexican government has been fighting a war with drug traffickers since December 2006” (Library). There are so many ‘recruits’ in these cartels ready to take demand and bring danger into the lives of others. These main leaders started all the war and are controlling the lives of the ones who join their cartel. The Drug Wars are increasing with every new cartel that joins in the fight. Every cartel member has joined the group for a reason, they are looking for a way out of the life they are living as folk people with no money. More than twelve thousand people were killed in mexico in the year of 2011. “A 2015 Congressional Research Service report estimates at least 80,000 people have been killed due to organized crime related incidents since 2006” (Library). All the cartels are fighting for their own territory. One invasion in one territory is all one needs to cause to become in danger. All cartels want is to own a land to plant drugs to make money and make sure no one invades it. They want the theme of Drug Wars in Mexico to be heard so that there should be less tourism. They are out of control with the way they live.
‘Mexican Drug Cartels need to be stopped because’ they have no regrets in what they do. They are looking to kill anyone who attempts to stop them. It is not just a fight for drugs anymore, it is also a fight for to the government and the people who invade their privacy in their ‘territory’. “However, the cartel's future is uncertain after Guzmán was recaptured in 2016 following two daring prison breaks” (Tucker). These prisons underestimated Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman when he escaped. He took time to plan and found his way out no matter the costs. It was so easy the first time that he found another escape plan. Since ‘El Chapo’ is an important character, or leader, to the ‘Sinaloa Cartel’, there is no doubt there will be another escape since they don’t worry about breaking the laws and putting people in danger. “In eastern Mexico, the Gulf cartel and their fearsome former allies ‘Los Zetas’ have been weakened by killings and arrests of top leaders, leading to splits within both groups” (Tucker). The split between ‘El Chapo’ and his Sinaloa Cartel angered the cartel but still less drugs were being trafficked or being fought for since no orders were being taken. Except for one exception that has been occurring since then. The leader want what thinks that’s best for their fighters. They promise them a world of protection and wealth. New cartels are creating and bringing back the danger to a different level. More guns are being trafficked everywhere throughout Mexico’s states, including now North America’s States, now leads to dangerous situations like gun fights between cartels and All of Mexico’s forces, or murders to anyone who disrespects them in their making. They are starting to be a danger to all communities.
‘Mexican Drug Cartels need to be stopped because’ they are spreading throughout the U.S. as well. They are looking anywhere to plant their drugs and keep building up their cartel.“The infiltration of the Windy City shows the extent to which Mexican drug syndicates have made inroads in the United States — the Associated Press and others have reported that cartel cells are operating in Atlanta, Ga., Louisville, Ky., Columbus, Ohio, and rural North Carolina” (Daileda). The more the cartels expand, it only leaves them grow even more. Since there are many cartels expanding, they are starting to be seen everywhere. Not only do Cartels have enough power to invade and make a land their own, they also have enough men to plant drugs in different locations. This leads to a less of a chance to capture them. Then again, the more they expand, the more they will grow and evolve. There is no certain way or style the cartels live or go by. There are no rules with each cartel, it is either they start to join together and fight to live for their cartel, or they fight each other with an enormous amount of power and compete to see who has the upper hand in the country of Mexico. They give their life to selling drugs and being part of a group of people who all they do is fight. It is hard to capture the cartels through the government since most of all of it is either corrupt or part of the cartels. They have helpers in the government that tell when there will be a search or invasion of a drug plantation. This then leads to giving the cartels time to leave and not get caught with their drugs. They are all big and different groups that everyone is scared to fight against them including the mexican government and any other force that is in mexico. Everyone fears this group for the reason being that they are getting smarter with their certain strategies and technology to help with what they want to accomplish.
‘Mexican Drug Cartels need to be stopped because’ they are known as the most dangerous groups in the world and are always armed.

The Mexican Drug Wars revolve around competition and mostly money. “The danger of cartels is the fact of their organization” (Drug Cartels). They all want to prove how tough the cartels are in Mexico and as well as showing that they are stronger than one another. Without any of these, there is nothing to fight for. In other words, they have no wants in their life which leads to the wars . “Drug cartel members often find themselves embroiled in criminal activities seemingly unrelated to drug trafficking” (Drug Cartels). Once they see an enemy to fight upon and protect themselves against, they fight without asking any questions until their enemy is dead and get the feeling of victory over something so hateful. They are always ready to protect themselves or to just start a rivalry fight upon themselves. Ever since drugs evolved, everything has gone to madness. Some use it to their advantage or just for the trend of it. New drugs are being created and can be used to become even more hateful than they are right now. There needs to be almost a whole country to fight these ‘vicious warriors’ to take stand to finish off the cartel to have less drugs and

violence.
The Mexican Cartel is rising in power and no one is there to stop them. They will always be dangerous and ready to fight until someone takes stand. Once these Cartels are killed, there will be less drug trafficking, violence, and prostitution coming from mexico. This will happen to be the case, since most drugs that are distributed come from mexico. For now, Mexico itself will never be the same and will be getting worse with the cartels in power and the violence yet to come.
