Recommended: Drug trafficking between Mexico and America

This a report of our current drug traffic situation we have been following between the border of Mexico and our homeland, the United States of America. This report has been generated by Agent Emily Richards, U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Currently I am heading a special subcommittee task force that has been following the current drug traffic issues we have with Mexico. Data collected by my committee has given evidence to difficult matters occurring that have kept the current drug cartels of Mexico in business. The following paragraphs will give detailed information on what our committee has discovered. We have been working with Mexican police officer Javier Rodriguez, who has given us great insight on two major drug cartels currently operating in Mexico. Rodriquez is currently following and attempting to stop drug trafficking into the United States (U.S.) along the Mexican border. He has given us detailed information on his recent connections and findings. Recently, he and his partner Manolo Sanchez, found out some information on a plane carrying a large amount of cocaine that secretly landed in the Mexican desert near Tijuana. He and his partner were able to intercept the truck carrying cocaine in an attempt of major drug bust. While driving the truck through the desert, their truck was intercepted by Mexico’s General Salazar. General Salazar overtook the vehicle and excused the officers of further duties surrounding their efforts with the drug bust. General Salazar is known as one of the number one crime fighters for Mexico. Unfortunately we have some mixed information from Officer Javier Rodriguez that contradicts this statement. After the drug bust in the Mexican desert, General Salazar took a strong interes... ... middle of paper ... ...trong leaps in our fight against drugs.

  • Was Pancho Villa A Hero

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    He found many loves, had many children, gained and lost the respect of another country, and changed much of the fate of his own country. After shooting a man who harassed his sister, Villa “fled, spending six years on the run in the mountains. While there, he joined a group of fugitives and became a bandit” (Biography.com Editors). As the head of the house, Pancho kept things in order as well as he could without a father to help him. When he fled to become a bandit, his whole life changed to that of an ordinary man to an outlaw. This is what could be known as Villa’s transformation into Mexico’s most well-known rebel generals. People like Celia Garza, however, transitioned in a much different way. When asked about the experience by her grandson, she simply told him, “I was inspired so I took action.” “In 1910, while still living as a fugitive, Pancho Villa joined Francisco's Madero successful uprising against Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz” (Biography.com Editors). Pancho’s crazy life led him from the life of a bandit to the life of a rebel general, respected by many who disagreed with the way the President ran the country. This in turn led to the fate of Mexico’s independence and a n immediate change in opinion towards the way Mexico was

  • Pancho Villa’s Role in the Mexican Revolution

    828 Words  | 2 Pages

    Although Pancho Villa is known to be a rebel and a bandit, he wasn’t born into a life of crime. Due to an awful circumstance, in which a wealthy man attempted to rape his young sister, Pancho Villa killed the transgressor. Pancho Villa had no choice but to change his name, hide in the mountains, and live as an outlaw. Over the years he gained the public’s attention for being sneaky and cunning towards the wealthy, and generous amongst the poor. His popularity as a modern day Robin Hood caught the attention of Francisco Madero who promised change to the lower class if they fought alongside him. Azuela recounts some of the problems the poor people faced “…Government people who've declared war to the death on us, on all the poor.”(p7). Many soldiers were w...

  • Analysis of The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela

    The character of Demetrio Macias proves to be quite ironic. One facet of his character reveals his determination to find Pancho Villa’s army, while the other side of his character parallels the extraordinary qualities Pancho Villa had as a hero. People viewed Pancho Villa as a revered hero who pushed out foreign "proprietors" and fought for the common man. On one hand, there is the compassionate man who helped those in need and rescued orphans providing them with food, education, and a home. On the other hand, there was the ferocious general who destroyed villages and killed innocent victims. Villa was generous and helpful to his followers, of which he insisted on loyalty and trust, but to those who violated his trust and authority, he was merciless and cruel. We can clearly see the similarities of these two leaders when we analyze their noble actions. Demetrio’s reluctance to stop ...

  • Overivew of Mexico's Drug War

    1809 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

  • Drug Trafficking and Its Effects on US Policy and Economy

    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.
