On the frontline of Mexico's drug war | Hotspots

Mexico's official murder rate last year was nearly 30,000 people. The worst year since the government started counting bodies 20 years ago.
It is widely assumed that this is almost entirely caused by the drug wars raging between the country's Narco Cartels and the government.
Murdering business or political opponents is taking over from legal action and the ballot box.
We travelled to one of the worst hit areas in Mexico, the formerly glamorous playground of the wealthy, Acapulco, to see what is happening to society and why it has become so violent.

    President Obrador- legalize drugs and just about everything else other than murder, assault, theft, rape and kidnapping- to take it out of the cartels. It's true that they would probably find some other profit-making enterprise to exploit, but it would help. And other countries would have to legalize, as well. And really crack down on the corrupt politicians, cops and military on the take, so that the cartels can be flushed out. Especially get rid of the dirty politicians, as without them it'd be easier to take out the corrupt members of the military and police. They should have the US and Mexico arm all the law-abiding Mexican civilians, and put a bounty on all the cartel goons. Like in the Old West U.S. Hopefully there are enough uncorrupt politicians in both countries to do it.

    after owning a house in acapulco for 10 years, i made the decision to sell it just prior to the start of the drug war. as i watch, with a great deal of sadness, this report showing the destruction of the city i came to love,i can;t help feeling a personal sense of loss. shortly after the united states decimated the drug cartels operation in columbia, they moved it to mexico. for the cartel and the corrupt mexican officials, it was a match made in heaven. in mexico, the cartel can operate free of interference from the federal government, the knowledge they are free from extradition and now much closer to it's greatest consumer, the united states. for the mexican officials, the opportunity to add billions to their, already bloated, foreign bank accounts.in light of the governments total disregard for the welfare of the people and its partnership with the drug cartel, the people have turned to the drug trade to secure their future.

    War may be the only solution. I think that may be true that an invasion on the cartels may be the only way, unless the reach of the cartels is so pervasive that they even buy off some in the U.S. Gov't., as well as some Mexican officials. Although, Trump could still attack. Use Air Force and drones. I thought of arming the Mexican citizens, but the Mexican gov't is too corrupt to arm them. I believe that most of Mexico's GDP is from the cartels' kickbacks. And Mexico wouldn't let the U.S. go down there and hand out weapons. So an invasion may be the only thing left. I've suggested legalization of drugs, which would help. But there are other illegal activities they'd find, and are already in.

    People ask why the US needs border security on our southern border. It’s not because of “Mexicans,” but rather to prevent more of this violence from spilling over into our country. And I say more, because it is already here, just not on this level. I believe that in order to stop this, we should be concentrating on helping our fellow North Americans more so than Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc., countries on the other side of the world. Sit down with the Mexican government instead of these Middle Eastern countries that don’t quite have an immediate effect on us. This is literally our backyard and we don’t care at all to let them deal with it on their own. This is why border security shouldn’t just mean put up a wall and hire more CBP agents to police the border. We need stronger border security as well as for our counter terrorism forces to join the Mexican’s own CT forces and fight to take THESE insurgents rather than the ones thousands of miles away that can’t literally crawl through a tunnel straight into our country, kill their rivals/targets, and slip back into Mexico.

    If they legalize it the goverment will charge more because of tax etc so people will still go to the cartels for wholesale prices so it wouldnt actually help plus the cia are above the cartels the likes of escobar and chapo are scape goats they get blamed for everything yet behind the scenes the cia make sure the buisness continues

    Innocent people are the collateral damage of the business and trade of drugs...... Narcos get into something that destroys everyone including the family and they know it. The family is not given an opportunity when an individual accepts the responsibility of addiction or accepts the responsibility of the sale of narcotics. The family is not innocent either because they knew for years that their family member was into the narcotics business and didn't do anything about it..... Or better said they could not interfere with what was happening and have to live with the consequences.

    Innocent people don't die if they are not into drugs. Simple as that. The government is a large part of the drug situation, the police, the government specially politicians..... They are not as involved as in earlier years, in the 80's and 90's most bankers, politicians, and government officials were on the take, Miami is Miami thanks to drugs I am from Tampa Florida and graduated in 1982, so I know how drugs and the cartels ran Miami. Nowadays they do it conservative because they don't want to get busted. Drugs are big business for everyone, from the farmers, to the governor, to the economy. We just have to find a way to control it, tax it, and import tax it..... But look at all the crack heads dancing and barking at intersections, robbing and stealing for the fix. Imagine what would occur if drugs were legalized ?

    This all leads back to the breakdown of the Sinaloa cartel. When the Sinaloa cartel ruled there was very little violence because all cartels joined together for the better. When Americans decided to break up the Sinaloa cartel all hell broke loose. Ironically the violence is directly related to US anti drug policy. Both countries became more violent as a result of their policy.

    It's so sad that Mexico has to pay for America's addiction. If only American's would stop consuming so much drug, this wouldn't be happening. Also, all of the American's that are going to argue against me saying "That's not true." And "My country would never do that" it is true, and they are doing it.

    Read a Book, through out History, War on Drugs has always been on who Has Control over them. Open up your eyes and pay attention in Class. The war is on WHO HAS FULL CONTROLL OF THEM, not a war against them. Drugs ~Power. And with Power comes Corruption, Especially in Mexico where the Government has made it a Way of Life.

    Cae C the drug users in the US demand drugs, not violence. The violence is all their own doing. It’s a culture problem in Mexico. Mexico learned from the Columbians, they should really blame them.
