However, some people that come here come just to make their drug cartels economy good because they come here to sell they’re products. The “drug war” in northern Mexico is one gigantic bloodbath. The Mexican government says that as many as 28,000 people have been slaughtered by the drug cartels since 2007. A very significant percentage of those deaths have happened in areas right along the U.S. border.

    For years, the United States and Mexico have been engaged in operations to halt the production of drugs south of the border as well as their shipment to the United States, which is world’s largest drug market.   However, the genesis of the current Drug War is commonly traced back to the 2000s for a couple of reasons.  Just days after taking office in December 2006, Mexican President Felipe Calderon  kicked off a veritable “war” against the cartels when he sent 6,500 soldiers and police into his home state of Michoacan to  organized crime  in this area.

  • Essay On Mexico Cartels

    613 Words  | 3 Pages

    Furthering the problem, the cartels are currently recruiting children and adults alike to transport drugs. Many of the Mexican people would rather support the cartels because they can make much more money, and there are no real legal repercussions from their actions. In a case study done by Lucina Melesio & John Holman in Mexico cartels recruit children to smuggle people to US, a young boy named Ciudad Juarez transports drugs into the U.S., it is stated in the article that “[w]hile his journey means he can make up to $2,000 on a good day, thousands of other Juarez residents, who work the late shift in the city 's maquila factories producing goods for exportation to the US, earn around $5 a day”. Not only is Mexico in such shambles that smuggling drugs over the U.S. border is more lucrative than a steady job, also citizens would rather rely on cartels because of how corrupt the government is. The overarching consensus from the Mexican people seems to be that they cannot trust their leaders or the cartel, but the cartel helps them more than the

    In the midst of unfair and unequal treatment for the many quality services provided, Mexican immigrants, especially those undocumented, do not have the ability to speak up and change something without risking their status or safety. The American people should be speaking up for those that cannot do it for themselves, yet they continue to perpetuate stereotypes and confine Mexican immigrants who do just as much as any other citizen to provide for this country. Despite the general dependency on immigrant workers, many American people have a hypocritical bias against Latin-American immigrants (concerning their place (efforts?) in the workforce? and their entrance in the country?

    Latina/os living in the United States are viewed only as a source of cheap labor. White Americans would go as far and call them “ignorant Mexicans” or “young Mexicans, with very few brains, if any”(Lytle Hernández, 2017: Kindle Locations 2816-2818). The only reason western industries advocated for Mexicans to continue crossing into the United States after the 1924 National Origins Act, an act that blatantly excluded immigration from anywhere except western Europe with a list of quotas, was because their labor was cheap, something industries loved taken advantage of. Although Anglo-Americans preached for a white-dominated society, whenever it came to who would be building this “Aryan” society they would gladly hire Latina/os, taking advantage of their poor situation to load their pockets. Sometimes, hiring wasn’t even needed if convict labor could be used.

  • The Importance Of Being Hispanic

    One of the biggest Hispanics I look up to as inspiration and encouragement is Sonya Sotomayor, the Supreme Court justice. She proved to me that not only can Hispanics can succeed but that they can also excel in politics. As a child my grandfather always told me to work hard because if you don’t you will end up staying in the same place you are hoping for something better instead of achieving it. What he told me that day will continue to inspire me for the rest of my life and work hard even if you’re put down for being Hispanic or just undervalued because of the color of my skin. If I let that bother me and stop me, then I am not working hard enough to achieve what I have set out to do in life which is to show people that Hispanics can do anything just as good as anyone else and that just because we came from places of lower income doesn’t mean we don’t have what it takes to succeed where some have
