Is Mexican Violence Spilling into the U.S?
The Mexican drug war has been an ongoing struggle for Mexico for decades. The continuous violence and disarray inside of Mexico may have potential to damage the United States even more. For years, Mexican drug cartels have been waging a ruthless war over the lucrative drug and human smuggling routes into the United States. It is a war that has left 2,000 people dead in the first four months of 2009 alone and more than 10,000 between 2006-2009.
My Project isn't being presented to cast a negative light upon the Mexican culture but more of a medium of projecting information to show that there are communities directly effecting America while aid is going elsewhere.
Mexican drug cartels have had a history of using brutal acts to strike fear into Mexican citizens. More importantly they would commit brutal acts of violence like dumping truck loads of dead bodies into public streets to gain fear from the Mexican authority. Many Mexican officers and police sheriffs have searched for asylum in the U.S in order to escape the grasp of blood-thirsty Mexican cartels.
Mexican president Felipe Calderon sent thousands of troops and federal police to the border. Hundreds of them have been slaughtered; even more had quit.
In the past cartels were mostly murdering and kidnapping each other but they soon found profit in targeting civilians and legitimate businessmen. And as the bodies piled up south of the border, the affect is being felt here on our in the United States.
The Mexican drug war has had a gradual diminishing effect on both the social and economic factors in America. The social diminishing effects that Mexico has had on America is the massive wave of drugs that is constantly being pumped through the border.
The United States is the world's leader for drug use. Mexico is one of the powerhouses of supplying these drugs to the U.S. Since there is a constant demand for drugs like marijuana and cocaine upon the northern border Mexican cartels always have incentive to milk their lucrative "business" that they have implemented.
Economically the Mexican Drug war has a potential to take a huge, obviously undesired toll on the American government. America can use tax funds to give additional aid to Mexico in order to get the Mexican government on its feet and aid the Mexican armed forces war against the Mexican cartels so that America is not affected increasingly by the current Mexican drug war.
