Mexico has come a long way historically and is currently the holding the 11th spot for GDP worldwide. One would think that a country generating steady revenue would up their militia to protect its citizens. Mexico is in a state of turmoil and they are at an all out war with the Cartels in the region. The problem is that the cartels have more fire power and heavy artillery to deal with anyone standing in their way. It is sad to see a government doing their best to stop the problem, but they are also allowing corruption to penetrate the top tiers of government.
I’m sure the people would like to see nothing more than the government prevail over the ruthless cartels. They move drugs like Heroin, Marijuana, and cocaine, with marijuana accounting for 60% of their revenue. If the US legalized Marijuana it would cause these cartels to take a huge hit and lose billions of dollars. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton supports Mexico’s war on drugs, but when asked about marijuana she refuses to legalize it thinking it will violate moral norms and hurt our society as a whole.
Our society is currently hurting. The states neighboring the Mexico border are having to put up with all of the criminal activity that the cartels are getting away with. Marijuana legalization is just a small step. These cartels smuggle anything from drugs to guns to humans and they have a very efficient network to spread their product across the US.
Something needs to be done about this. The cartels strike fear in anyone that opposes them. It is time for Mexico to take control of the situation and take down the leaders of the cartels. This is easier said than done, but in order to stop innocent humans from being smuggled and sexually abused, you have to take down the leader of the operation and put a stop to the toxic trade routes in the US.
