Mexican Counggling
Who benefits from smuggling? According to Andreas "Mexico's leading drug traffickers had become driving forces, pillars even, of our economic growth. The Mexican government calculated that the gross revenues of Mexican drug-smuggling organizations reached $30 billion in 1994"(2009, 60). Also on the receiving end are people being paid to risk themselves and the person receiving the item or items get what they want. If other are involved or paid to turn a blind eye they normally receive substantial amounts of money. This hurts innocent people physically and mentally depending on the item (drugs and weapons).. If elected officials and law enforcement are involved it misplaces trust that the people have for them and a feeling of lawless and

    Drug Wars and Coffee Houses Paper

    David Mares gives us insight into the political economy of drug trafficking in his book Drug Wars and Coffee Houses. To help us understand how psychoactive substances are organized and distributed, he uses the concept of a commodity chain. A commodity chain is the system that links consumption of psychoactive substances to everything that makes it possible, and proves that if something affects one phase of the system, the other phases are affected as well. Consumers and producers in this system depend on each other, and “neither one could exist without the other” (Mares, p.13). The whole system consists of various pieces that ultimately work towards getting the consumer what they want, and from a producer who actually has what they want. Since consumers and producers are rarely ever in the same place, consumers get their substances from a transportation network. These traffickers get the substances from the producers, and just like any other business, producers need various inputs. This includes “labor, chemicals, and in the case of illegal products, perhaps weapons and corrupt officials, to produce and transport the substance” (Mares, p.13). So then we have the people who provide these inputs. Playing with drug money can get messy, so then money launderers come into the picture. The commodity chain system that Mares presents helps us organize and understand how all these roles connect to get a psychoactive substance produced and distributed to consumers.…

    However, it is not just Mexico but Panama, El Salvador, Columbia, and other International countries. These people will force, bribe others to be drug mules for them bring large quantizes of drugs into America not caring if the person gets caught or worse dies from the drugs getting into their system when it busts inside their stomach where it’s carried or their rectum at times. This is a big issue for both the United States and our International counter parts to try and stop this from happening. These mules are not only bringing in drugs some of them are smuggling in guns by driving across the border, thru the mail, or inside of something, they have bought. This is why the border patrol stops most of them crossing the border coming from Mexico trying to enter Texas, California, and Arizona not because they are illegal’s but cause they may be caring drugs or guns for the Mexican drug…

    The Pros And Cons Of US Border Patrol

    “More than 5,900 pounds of cocaine and more than 2.2 million pounds of marijuana” had been taken into custody by border guards. In the meantime it had become clear that illegal immigration from Mexico is closely linked to the problem of drug trafficking, the so-called Mexican drug war. Hundreds of unauthorized immigrants carrying drugs are attempting to cross the border, every week. Mostly, these immigrants are the owners of forged papers and they are supported by information about the best points of entry by Mexican drug lord. 80 percent of cocaine and 50 percent of heroine of the total amount of drugs reaching the U.S. are smuggled across the U.S.-Mexican border. The crime rate along the border and also inside the country has increased due to the unimaginable extent of poverty. (Border Patrol Overview: Drug…

    War on Drugs: Mexican Cartels

    As Americans in the United States face the war on drugs, we struggle to get a grip on the killer of a nation. It seems as if illegal narcotics are killing and destroying families at an alarming rate. Since the early eighties, children have dropped out of school to make a profit from this dream killer. Many parents were either addicted to these illegal drugs, or in denial of their corruption. In many legal cases you hear the convicted say, “We don’t have poppy fields in North America,” which leads our government to do critical speculation. Where do these drugs come from? How are they entering our states and destroying families? These are the questions that many have. Upon research, it has become clear that the Mexican Cartels are the main and biggest contributors to the narcotic empire. Pushing illegal drugs from Mexico through the border of Lerado, Mexico and Lerado, Texas has been the success of these cartels in distributing drugs into the United States. Government officials face the horror of senseless deaths as the fight for War on Drugs begins.…

    Mexican Culture Research Paper

    Mexican Culture, like any other culture, is a very unique thing. They have their own foods, holiday, traditions, and much more. To learn more about Mexican Culture I interviewed a friend named Sofia that used to live in Monterrey, Mexico. I played sports with Sofia in high school so I knew her and her family pretty well and I felt comfortable going to her house for dinner. Her father made home-made tamales for dinner and she made pineapple stuffed empanadas for dessert. After dinner, we discussed Mexican culture and traditions, her life in Mexico, and also her life here in America.…

    Mexican Culture Research Paper

    My experiences in a cultural group are many. I have been married to a Mexican man for almost 23 years. The one thing that stands out most in my experience is the amount of love that is displayed in a family group. My husband comes from a family of twelve children. The first time I went to Mexico to visit his side of the family, our son was four months old. I remember seeing the whole family setting together on one very long couch with Aunts and Uncles and parents. Everyone was jammed in there together with their heads on each other’s shoulders watching television. It astounded me because when I was growing up, my siblings and I used to fight over “our cushion” on the couch. Granted, I came from a family of only five children, but they…

    The Hispanic Cultural Language

    In my opinion, I’m a part of the Hispanic “cultural language” who are hardworking, friendly, very religious and very respectful. I think this emerged when I was little and evolved as I grew up and even now. I was taught to thank god every day. During my childhood I spent a lot of time with my grandma who is like the friendliest person I know. No matter where we are, she makes a friend. My mom was always working and she taught me to get far in life I need to work for it. I think this cultural language does work in my favor to social structure because it has taught be good morals and…

    Drug Trafficking In The United States

    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…

    The Mexican Drug War and Its Consequences

    Despite President Felipe Calderon’s good intentions and determination to eliminate the drug cartels in Mexico, the Mexican government has not been able to stop the drug cartel’s operations (smuggling drugs, people and weapons to and from the USA) for many reasons. The drug cartels have proven to be powerful, well connected politically, well trained, well- armed, and manipulation of the masses. Therefore, it has been impossible for the Mexican government to stop cartels like La Familia from operating, and now the cartels have become a problem for the Unites States too.…
