Recommended: Illegal immigration effect on the economy

There are so many different issues with foreign policy issues this year that have arouse overtime. In my opinion, the issue of drug wars in Mexico are up rising and causes major chaos in central America, which could possible lead to it being a major issue here in the U.S.. I think that the president needs to help with this problem in advance to stop it from spreading to our parts over here. If the president of the United States, and the president of Mexico could bind together and sign an agreement to get this somehow under control it could prevent it from coming to the U.S. The U.S. president could station our troops that are overseas around the border of Mexico to prevent drug from coming in is one way to help this problem. Also another good …show more content…

If we come together and get things done as in, stopping cyber threats, wars, ISIS, drug cartels, bombings, and numerous of other issues that are becoming a big part of making it easy to live in the U.S., then we need to make them go away. In a CNN News statement it was stated,”It is unclear if Mexico's President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto will be able to contain the violence, which has spread south to Central America and is showing signs of leaking north into the United States.”(CNN) Thousands of people have died due to the crisis in Mexico. When is enough enough? If it get stop out of control in Mexico and they make there way over to the U.S., it might be too late to try and stop them. They could be too strong in forces and it would cause more panic and damage for the United States to have to come up with to fix, more expenses, more resources, more everything. Also, another thought to think the issue gets that bad before it is taken care of it could cause a major war that is NOT needed. There are so many resources that could be used to stop this from coming another major issue and a possible war. When we catch the smugglers at the border, we are stopping a process for drugs to get here. So the cartels could retaliate against us for that. It would be easier if they would legalize marijuana in parts of the America to prevent retaliation from happening and also helping the drug and crime rates to

    A drug cartel is a combination of drug manufacturing and drug transportation organizations under one person’s leadership. While there is numerous drug cartels around the world the Mexican cartels have arguably more power than most in regards to territory and membership. This power has allowed them to have main control in not only Mexico but in the United States as well making them a key player in the drug trade. In 2006, the Mexican government challenged multiple drug cartels such as the Sinaloa cartel, The Los Zetas, and the Gulf cartel, beginning the Mexican Drug War. This war has gone on for the past ten years and is still continuing today, causing the death of 10,000 people a year on average. The Mexican Drug War is having a negative impact

    The border wall is one of the ways these two issues have been brought down. This makes it harder for both the immigrants and narcotics to cross the border. It is more dangerous for them if they are risking to climb up that wall not knowing if they will have a safe landing. Technology is another way to prevent this from happening. The border patrol has developed thermal detectives that can sense people from miles away of the border. This will give them a heads up that people are coming their

    And if marijuana is legal, they will have a harder time to control these drugs dealers. The drugs dealers will try to introduce more substances and people will try it. I don’t see any good if we legalize marijuana or any kind of drugs. But DEA agents will have to work harder and be smarter to deal with all these drugs users. It’s not going to be easy, they will need to come up with new tricks and plans to try to keep these drugs users in control. Because I think that if marijuana is legal, other drugs in the future will be legal too. Like I said earlier, as long as human have an addiction toward something, there will be new substances introduced. One day, there will be no way to control these drugs users and dealers. Also, when you’re on drugs, I don’t think you who what you’re doing. You might think that you know what you’re doing, but I doubt you do. At that time, people will make choices that they don’t want to and how are police officers going to punish them? It not only make DEA agents jobs harder but it will make everyone life harder. I hope DEA agents will come up with better plans as time go on to control these drugs users and

    Over the last several decades, violence has consumed and transformed Mexico. Since the rise of dozens of Mexican cartels, the Mexican government has constantly been fighting an ongoing war with these criminal organizations. The cartel organizations have a primary purpose of managing and controlling illegal drug trafficking operations in Central America and South America to the United States. Violence on a massive and brutal scale has emerged due to the nature of the illegal drug trade. Because the drug trade is vastly widespread, cartels are often fighting one another and competing in business. Mexican authorities count at least 12 major cartels, but also talk of an untold numbers of smaller splinter groups. (Taipei Times). Five cartels from Mexico have risen to become the extremely powerful amongst all the drug organizations operating in Mexico. The Guadalajara Cartel, the Sinaloa Cartel, the Tijuana Cartel, the Juarez Cartel, and the Gulf Cartel. These organizations, along with other distinguished Mexican cartels, have plagued Mexico with violence, terror, and fear due to the essence and nature of illegal drug trafficking.

    The Mexican drug-trafficking cartels are said to have been established in the 1980s by a man named Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, also known as “The Godfather”. With the help of Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo and Rafael Caro Quintero, Miguel started the Guadalajara Cartel, which is one of the first to have thrived from association with the Colombian cocaine trade. The two men who helped Miguel Gallardo establish the cartel were arrested, so Gallardo, the single leader of the cartel “was smart enough to privatize the Mexican drug trade by having it run by lesser-known bosses” (The Five Most Famous Drug Cartels”), that he often met with in Acapulco. Eventually Miguel was arrested as well which caused the split of the Guadalajara Cartel into the Sinaloa Cartel and the Tijuana Cartel.

    Over the last decade, Southwest border violence has elevated into a national security concern. Much of the violence appears to stem from the competing growth and distribution networks that many powerful Mexican drug cartels exercise today. The unfortunate byproduct of this criminality reaches many citizens of the Mexican border communities in the form of indiscriminate street gang shootings, stabbings, and hangings which equated to approximately 6,500 deaths in 2009 alone (AllGov, 2012). That same danger which now extends across the border regions of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California has the potential for alarming escalation. Yet, despite the violence, evermore-brazen behavior continues to grow, as does America’s appetite for drugs. Even though drug-related violence mandates that law enforcement agencies focus on supply reduction, the Office of National Drug Control Policy should shift its present policy formulation efforts to only drug demand reduction because treatment and prevention efforts are inadequate and strategy has evolved little over the last three decades.

    Over the past 10 years the number of illegal immigrant in the United States has risen from 5-12 million. This eventually opens the eyes of policyholders to the effects of illegal immigration on incomes and public finances, as well as potential safety threats posed by unauthorized entry into the states. President Bush signed into the secure fence act which authorized the spending of $1.2 billion for the construction of a seven-hundred-mile fence along the U.S- Mexico border. I guess this was the only solution to actually try to cut down the amount of illegal immigrants that were invading the U.S.

    Drug trafficking has been a massive concern between the borders of Mexico and the U.S. “since mid 1970s” (Wyler, 1). Drug trafficking is “knowingly being in possession, manufacturing, selling, purchasing, or delivering an illegal, controlled substance” (LaMance, 1). A dynamic relationship exists amongst Columbia, Mexico, and the U.S. the informal drug trafficking economy. This growing informal drug economy leads to many individuals creating a substantial living through this undercover market. These individual drug cartels monopolizing the trafficking market are a growing problem for the U.S economy and need to be located and controlled. If this trafficking continues, the U.S. informal economy will crush the growth of legal industries. The trafficking and abuse of drugs in the U.S. affects nearly all aspects of consumer life. Drug trafficking remains a growing issue and concern to the U.S. government. The U.S. border control must find a way to work with Mexico to overpower the individuals who contribute to the drug trafficking business. This market must be seized and these individuals must be stopped.
