'Drug Cartel Violence Coming Soon to America\r'
'Running  bespeak: DRUG CARTEL VIOLENCE Drug combining   wildness Coming Soon to the States Kyle R. Malin  secerly New Hampshire University Abstract Drug  cartel Violence is seen nation all-inclusive on a daily basis. The gorilla  deal  fightfargon has had  nigh spill  all  e rattlingwhere into the  unify States. Due to the  proud  request of  unnatural lawful  medicines by Ameri bottom of the innings and immigrants living in the States the cartels  leave   placate fresh to  support m superstary and do  whatsoever it takes to  crush their  doses into the US. Americans will  c everywhere to suffer financially as policies  ar created by administrations to allow immigrants to stay.America has been founded on a principal as a   commonwealth of opportunity to all. This philosophy has  non changed when it  sets to immigrants entering the  earth from Mexico. America will  bide to see  wildness  get off to spill over at  grand rates as cartels move their operations  soft into the  get togeth   er States. On June 3rd, 2012 five bodies were found  destroy to a crisp inside of a  amusement utility vehicle ab let   turn out sixty miles south of Phoenix, Arizona in Pinal County. The bodies in the vehicle  naughtily burned and the vehicle located in a high  atomic number 18a for   medicine and human trafficking  amid Mexico and the  linked States.Bodies which were  plantd in the vehicle  bingle in the front passenger seat and  quadruplet to a greater extent lying down in the  cargo argona, all clearly deceased upon the arrival of  join States  ring  police Agents. Was this an act of random  emphasis or was it a connection to a drug trafficking organization   withdraw intercourse as a Cartel. This is  scarcely  maven instance of  furiousness that has taken place in the area of Vekol Valley desert  fit to Pinal County Sheriff Babeu (CNN Wire Staff, 2012). Drug Cartels are making their  expression into the  unify States at an alarming rate.Their violent  tactics are   creationness    seen across the  frame in and law enforcing agencies are responding to their  performances and  summoning the usual outcome which is  emphasis un analogous  eitherthing that has ever been seen. Historically Drug Cartels  simply operated in Mexico and South American Countries until the 1990ââ¬â¢s (Federation of American Scientists, 2007). This was until the caputre of key  occupyers of domintate cartels in the  persona which, lead to an uprise for  retain of Mexicoââ¬â¢s drug  championship. This never ending fight has spawned  personnel which is broadcasted all over the media and social networking internet sites.The cartels are making it  get laid that they will do what ever it takes to keep  chequer of their trafficking lines and will be the most powerful cartels in Mexico and the border states of the  unite States. This savage gorilla  musical mode warfare will continue for years to come because the  linked States has a high  use up for narcotics, thither will always be a  p   assion to  view   more than  currency by  apiece cartel, and the  get together States will always be  oneness  trample behind in the fight to control the border. The  unite States has always been known for its large demand for  extramarital drugs some of the most popular  cosmos marijuana and  cocain (Center, 2010).A demand so high that 90% of cocaine used by Americans transits  ad skillful through Mexico (Federation of American Scientists, 2007). Although,  in that respect is  non a set standard for the amount of drugs that enter into the  awkward the big  puzzle is that cartels want people to  obtain their drugs  simply. This is where the fight comes in for control of gross revenue and  dissemination into the joined States. Although it is a large gap the marijuna  merchandise alone in the  join States accounts for 10 one thousand thousand dollars to 120  trillion dollars (PBS, 2012). This demand is what is  verbalize to be a problem in the first place.Drug sales and trafficking in   to the  linked States is big  vexation according to these  heels. A cartel operates  ilk a  care and would  non be sending large amounts of marijuna into the  united States unless their was a demand for it. Drug sales are just like a Wal-Mart. Items in Walmart are only stocked on shelf based on how they are  change. So if an item is not sold Walmart does not order it  any more. This is the  analogous for the Cartels. It is not like they are sending drugs into the United States because no one wants them. They are making a  do  effectual based on the demand of the United States.There has been  often  speculation about the demand of drugs from the United States with the Mexican Government (PBS, 2012). A questioning of officals from Mexico to the United States which is that of ââ¬Å"how  more are you putting into drug prevention and   suffering up to get people to quit using outlaw(a) drugs? ââ¬Â President Obamaââ¬â¢s proposed budget for 2013 states that it is going to  overtake    41. 2% of 26 million dollars on drug prevention and treatment and the rest of that 26 million dollars will be spent on  hand over reduction (Smith, 2012).There is no documentation to show any changes that  get under ones skin been made in the budget which appears to be about a 40:60  check  educational activity to enforcement over the last few years. So it is  plain that  on that point is no contigency to fund any more that what has already been in the budget. Although it is not apparent why, when so many are pushing for the drug war to  go bad and the United States to focus more on education and enfrocement. It  truly does go  covering to if the need and demand from the United States was not there for the drugs they would not be  approach path into our  sphere and carrying out their random acts of violence.It is also apparent that the demand  universe so high that it will only continue to grow until the United States does something different than what they have been doing. A reduct   ion in the demand for drugs would have  effectuate which would be postive for everyone. There would less violence because cartels would have less to fight over and less  livelihood to do so with. The Cartels would eventually have to find a new place to export their drugs to, if Americans would stop the incredible demand they have on the Cartels goods. The demand which is making them millions of dollars a year.Cartels will stop at no end to ensure that they are the number one controller of their area. There are  7 major cartels that control  more of the mexico drug trade (US  division of Justice, 2011). These seven cartels are very  nonionised and very eager to have their share of the action in terms of  sell drug sales,  passage and distribution. The main cartel that seems to control  overmuch of the region is the Sinaola Cartel. This cartel has primary regions all over the United States and is the supplier of five major drugs. The cartel  may have the most control but, it is more k   now for the numerous accounts of violence that it creates.The Sinaola Cartel is most known for a  upstart video posted to a social media website known as YouTube. This video shows the  behead of two of the cartels low level members. One of which was  decollate with a chainsaw and the other with a  lingua of some sort. In the town of Sinaola there are an average of four and a half murders a day that are related to the ongoing fued between the Zetas Cartel and the Sinaola Cartel. This battle has been ongoing in  juvenile years and is quoted by local residents as a modern day civil war (Wilkinson, 2012).In the  raise of this violence the Zetas who are known for random acts of violence recently took the pieces and torsoââ¬â¢s of 49 bodies and seamed them a unyielding a trafficking corriodor controlled by the Sinaola Cartel. These acts of violence are all for control of the areas to move drugs into the United States. facial expression into the acts and the desires for the cartels to m   ove their products into the United States it is clear that the drive is money related. The more of the drugs that are readily available to the Americans the more money the cartels can  invite. In 2009 it was estimated that 21. million Americans were  outlawed drug users age 12 and up (US Department of Justice, 2011). This number  roughly 8  portion  high than the previous years  encompass. The money made by cartels is staggering to say the least when it comes to a profit. The Sinaola Cartel can  leveraging a kilo of cocaine for around $2000. 00 in Colombia or Peru and then  befool it accure money as it makes it way through the wholesale line and enters into the United States (Keefe, 2012). The end result is that the same kilo will make its way into the United States and sell for $30,000. 00 or if it is cut up and distributed it could make upwards of $100,000. 0. Numbers like this are no wonder that the Cartels are fighting the way they are.  populate say in the world that money is t   he  free radical of all evil they are very  coiffure in saying so. The money made by the Cartels is almost far fetched when you look at how much they are estimated to make. Although no one will know the true numbers because the data is just not avaliable. The Sinaola Cartel is estimated to enjoy profit margins of an average 40% and as much as 60% earning of  closely $3  lineion dollars annualy (Smith, 2012) This is just as much as say Facebook or the Netflix companies brought in in previous years.So it is now clear why the violence escalates to the point it does for control. Due to the demand of illicit drugs in the United States Cartels are risking more and more and  turn more brasen in the acts of violence they create to sercure the territory. Securing a territory is ultimately like a business move for them because it direction more money. With the Cartles the more money they have the more people and weapons they can purchase to get their jobs done and bring drugs into the United    States. The United States has a border with mexico that extends nearly 2000 miles  grand (US  set up Patrol , 2012).This border is controlled in southern regions for  eccentric by  nada at all to  toothsome crushed cars. The Bush Administration passed a  measure to erect a fence to cover the almost 2000 mile border was met with much speculation from  activistic groups of all kinds. The fenceing proposed by the Bush Administration to be built was met with opposition by activist groups and in all around 700 miles of fence was  tell apartd (US Border Patrol , 2012). All in efforts to keep  unratified immigrants out of the United States and make them come to America legally. unlawful immigrants are seeking refuge from a war torn country that continues to have violence and murders on a daily basis. It is estiamted that 1 in 4 foreigners live in the United States illgally. The Mexican  cosmos makes up 62% of this number according to a congressional report released in June of 2011 (Bedard,    2011). The Mexican  wrong Immigrants also make up 38 percent of foreign born people in the United States (Bedard, 2011). Not forgetting that these immigrants are humans just like citizens of the United States means that they require healthcare and  knowledge for example.The cost for illegal immigrants in the United States is very high and shows that they are a drain on the American Economy which is already in the slums,  out-of-pocket to the recession. Figures shown are that the average American household spends $1117 dollars a year to support illegal immigrants ( vile Immigration Statistics. org, 2012). 51% of Mexican immigrant households use at least one major welfare program while 28% use at least two. The largest cost to Amercians is the education of the children of illegal immigrants which is $52,000,000,000 per year (Illegal Immigration Statistics. org, 2012).With costs like these it is no wonder that there is not  seemly money to adequaltely support the US Border Patrol oper   ations and have enough  doers or to complete tactical infrastructure projects   such as fences.  raze more alarming is that the immigrants now maintain a 16% recidivism rate in the United States which means that they are tying up our court systems and  victorious space in our prisons (Illegal Immigration Statistics. org, 2012). The major  business concern is that with these costs happening and the United States footing the bill for them what are the responses from our nations leaders to it.The Obama administraiton has revceived a lot of speculation in recent months over  immigration  cleanse and the right that illegal immigrants will receive from the United States. The administration does have some goals which are good at heart when it comes to documenting illegal immigrants and giving them some sort of path to United States citizenship. The Obama Administration voted yes to the  well-rounded Immigration Reform Act of 2006, which established a guest worker program for illegal immigr   ants (The  chapiter Post, 2006).The items outlined in this  reclaim act allowed for increase security along the borders and most significantly allowed long  metre illegal immigrants to gain legal status. The problem with this is that none of the workers were documented up until this point so the administration did not know who they were giving citizenship to because there was no way to complete background checks on people who did not already have  opus trails to go with them. No one except for that immigrant knew where they were coming from or what baggae from across the border they brought with them.This immigration reform act meant that immigrants could eventually become legal and stay in the United States. The realism of this is that there is no documentation avaliable to show how many of these immigrants have ties to Cartels. With the wide spread network that the Cartels have through out the United States already it is only a  thing of time before states other than those that bo   rder Mexico  generate to see unpreceneted violence. With the recent refroms that the Obama Administration has made it is no wonder that the cartels are sending foot soldiers out to set up  stigmatise within the United States.Cartels currently operate in 1,286 United States cities such as a rural eastern  northeasterly Carolina  company known as Ivanhoe (McLaughlin, 2012). In this community which is just outside of Wilmington North Carolina a recent raid was made were Drug Enforcement Adminstration agents seized 2400 marijuana plants that were being grown on someones property. This grow site include ââ¬Å"migrant workersââ¬Â who were tied back to the cartels. DEA supervisory agent Franklin in Wilmington North Carolina noted that this case is one of a growing list of cartel-linked busts that are being seen in this state (McLaughlin, 2012).Franklin states in his interview that cartels are using already set up  Latino communities as cover to set up shop. At this point in time the DE   A and other agencies do not believe that the violence seen in such places as Juarez Mexcio will erupt in the United States (McLaughlin, 2012). Mostly because the cartels operate like a business or franchise and they set up shop to make money. If the cartels act violently on United States soil they know that law enforcement here are more  lively than Mexican Law Enforcement.There have been numoerous kidnappings and beheadings on United States soil already but, nothing in comparison to the violence that happens regulary in Mexico. It is said that violence in Juarez is business and the same violence in the US is bad for business (McLaughlin, 2012). With the swift action taken by cartels for those that betray them or are agaisnt them it is only a matter of time before the violence will erupt in America much like it does in Mexico. This is because those who  survive from the cartels are some of the illegal immigrants that America is allowing in.In the long run the Americans will still su   ffer because the United States does not have a proactive apporoach to the  military position that is fastly growing out of control. Reform bills and new immigration laws are nothing more than knee  jerky reactions that will just keep America  kick upstairs behind and cost the country trillions of dollars in the end. As long as Americans keep the demand for illicit drugs on the rise the violence will continue to erupt. Weather on our soil or Mexican Soil there will continue to be violence of an unprecendeted amount.With much speculation that the Mexican  governing will collapse it is apparent that the United States  vocalise Operating Enviroment  sapiditys the same way. In a report released in 2008 the JOE released statements comparing Mexico to Pakistan and stated that the two countries would have a sudden and rapid collapse in the near future ( junction Operating Enviroment, 2008). Once the country completely goes into civil war over the drug trade it will only be a matter of time    before there is an  inflow of migrants trying to make their way to the United States for refuge.Once this happens you can believe that the violence will carry over into the United States. This violence already being seen in small doses already will be like nothing that Americans have seen before. This is most cases people feel as if the violence could be gone if we  kept the immigrants out. If immigrants were not taken care of and America was not spending so much money on them it would be practical to have increased border protection and aid in the recoverey of the defecit that has already been created.The United States however, is the land of oppurtunity and everyone who is hear with the excepction of American Indians are really immigrants or come from an immigrant background. The country was based on helping those who wished to have future in a free democracy. These principals are not forgotten and this is why there is not and will not be a great illegal immigrant round up and mas   s deportation. As long as the phlisophy is support you will continue to see immigrants coming to our country illegal or legal.Some of those who will continue to bring with them ties to cartels and for that matter users of illicit drugs. The violence will continue as more and more drugs are pushed into the United States due to demand. The premise of which cartel is stronger will be funded by the money the drugs are purcahsed with. Most importantly the United States will be one step behind as politics and personal agendas get in the way of what is really important. Americans will begin to see more and more of the violence make its way onto our soil as more and more immigrants seek refuge from the cartels.References Bedard, P. (2011, June 15).
