Mexicans can smuggle just about anything across the border and upon this realization came the Mexican drug cartel boom. “The Columbians began heavily relying on Mexican smuggling prowess in the 1990’s as Columbia’s larger criminal factions dissolved into smaller groups” (Mexico’s Internal Drug War, 2006). The Columbians soon began selling cocaine at wholesale price to Mexican cartels, which caused the rival cartels (the Sinaloa cartel and the Juarez cartel) to battle over the control of the profit. “The downstream revenue is largely dictated by points of entry into the United States, such as Nuevo Laredo, and points of reception from Columbia, such as Acapulco” (Mexico’s Internal Drug War, 2006). The demand for drugs, such as cocaine and marijuana, in the United States has steadily increased in the last few decades.

Because of this unending drug, the perception of Mexico, a nation which strongly emphasizes Catholic values, has quickly shifted. The drug war has affected the country detrimentally as strong censorship rules have been imposed, the safety and security of its people at risk, and the country’s relations with other countries such as the United States are questionable. Drug trafficking “refers to the sale and distribution of illegal drugs” (Drug Trafficking). It is something that is taken as an offense to many because it is against the law and often displeasing. Drug trafficking, in years past, have been very present in countries like Cuba, where drug lords attempted to run the country.
Mexico provides the United States with the largest supply of marijuana and is the second largest source for heroin. When the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon came to office and began to take on organized crime by arresting cartel leaders, was when the government and cartels began their battle. There is a war also between the five leading rival cartels for the production and smuggling of drugs. Violence has reached the point of beheading, murdering and hiding of dead bodies, and even the dissolving of human parts in acid. Kidnapping rates have also escaladed in Mexico to where an average of 70 people are abducted each month.
Edward Valiente English 120 Professor Taylor 11/20/11 Gun Control The United States is the leader among nations in deaths caused by firearms. According to the Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV), the “gun epidemic” kills more than 30,000 and causes almost 70,000 injuries each year (para 7). Eventually, this leads to an uprising of gun control advocates, who seek to reduce crime and death rates by setting a variety of gun control legislation among the state and federal levels. Although, anti-gun control advocates believe that heavy restrictions on the access of firearms is unfair to American citizens, and a violation of the 2nd amendment in the U.S. constitution. However, evidence shows that a lower restriction on gun control ensures
