A hot topic this year so far has been about drug cartels in Mexico. We as a nation have been watching the problems in Mexico with the drug cartels start to seep into our nation. We have seen a rise in drug trafficking at the border, human smuggling, and a rise in weapons in our nation. This scares me because what is happening over the border is basically a civil war. People are dying and these cartels are completely running Mexico. The US is so close to Mexico and the only thing diving us and them is one wall sometimes not even a wall. We as a nation however have taken a step is what the article is saying. US police have made a lot of connections with Mexican informant, so we now know more what is going on and can better plan and investigate the crimes that are occurring in the US.
