Mexican Drug Cartels Coming To A Neighborhood Near You
When mainstream media talk about terrorist threats to the United States, the image that comes to mind for the majority of Americans is that of a Muslim extremist of Middle Eastern descent. But there is a dangerous and growing threat to the Nation that is much closer to home, emboldened by U.S. policy and operating in capacities on par with military force.
Mexican drug cartels have, through savvy business and brute force, built an empire south of the U.S. border that Mexican police and the country’s military are seemingly incapable of bringing down. Despite dedicating vast law and military resources to stopping cartel violence and having billions of dollars of American aid money at their disposal, Mexican officials continue to be bested by cartels in the country. And unless something changes, the United States could be battling the cartels on a similar scale domestically, as the drug-pushing criminal entities continue to gain power throughout the United States.
