Drug Influence in the United States and Mexico

Over 40 years, our country has problems with our southern border neighbors - Mexico. Increase in drug consumers and violent behavior related to drug smuggling can be traced back to President Eisenhower's term of 1954 (Suddath). When Eisenhower became President, he noticed that the number of people using drugs has increased, which is why he opened five cabinets to stop Suddath. President Nixon established Suddath in 1973, so this problem seems to be a big problem yet.

Mexico is the main source of medicine to enter the United States. By the 1990s, 80 to 90% of cocaine smuggled to the United States arrived in Mexico. In February 1985 Enrique Camarena called "Kiki", an agent of the US drug drugs office, was kidnapped in Mexico and was later killed and considered a Mexican drug trafficking organization trying to intimidate the United States. After Mexico 's one - party rule ended in 2000, the Mexican government strengthened its efforts to crack down on all - rights drug cartels. The United States has offered aid to Mexico for this purpose through Merida's initiative. As of November 2009, the US promised to provide about $ 214 million with a commitment of $ 1.6 billion.

Most illegal drugs enter the United States through the 2,000 mile border between the United States and Mexico, known as the Southwest Frontier or SWB. Mexican drug cartels use drugs, scorpions, tunnels, boats, vehicles, trains, planes, sunpans and couriers to transport illegal drugs to the United States. The annual drug sales of the Mexican drug trafficking group in the United States is estimated at $ 19 billion to $ 29 billion. The contradiction between the drug trafficking group within the territory and the attempt to stop drug trafficking by law enforcement authorities has often resulted in violence and more than 55,000 people died since the start of the Mexican drug war, which was announced in 2006 did.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán of Mexico's most famous drug traitor, Sinaloa Cartel, pioneered this method in 1989 and drug smugglers used tunnels to send drugs to the United States. The complexity of these tunnels is increasing over time. In April 2016, US police authorities found a narcotic tunnel with vents, rails and electricity at a distance of half a mile from Tijuana to San Diego. This is the longest tunnel that has been discovered so far, but since 2006 I have found 13 of the length and one of the technical expertise. Between 1990 and 2016, a total of 224 tunnels were excavated at the border between the United States and Mexico.

Mexico is a major transportation agency, a country that produces medicines. It is estimated that 90% of the cocaine smuggled to the United States every year passes through Mexico. Driven by rising demand for pharmaceuticals in the United States, the country is a major heroin supplier, MDMA manufacturer and distributor, and the largest foreign cannabis and methamphetamine supplier in the US market. The major narcotics group oversees the majority of national drug trafficking activities, Mexico is an important money laundering center.
