Forget drug cartels being a Mexican problem, they have infiltrated thousands
of U.S. cities and are running complex and lucrative drug operations right under
our noses. After all, we are their biggest and most relied upon customer.
Using information from a report released by the U.S. Department of Justice,
the National
Post was able to identify the trafficking routes and bases of various
Mexican drug cartels. And it may shock you just how deeply embedded they are in
America.
Unsuspecting cities like Portland, Denver, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City,
Omaha, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Chicago, Seattle, Louisville, Memphis,
Boston, Minneapolis, Dallas and so many more have a reported drug cartel
presence.
The gangs move heroin, marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamines to feed
America’s massive drug habit, and they do so gleefully as they rake in billions
of dollars in profit.
So which cartels have actually been “confirmed’ to be in America? To name a
few, the Tijuana Cartel, Juarez Cartel, Gulf Cartel, Federation Cartel and
numerous gangs with “unknown affiliation.”
Curiously, two of Mexico’s most powerful and ruthless cartels, the Los Zetas
and the Sinaloa Cartel, are not included in the report. But make no mistake,
their tentacles reach the U.S. as well.
Texas is particularly affected by the drug cartel invasion. The Gulf Cartel
appears to control much of east Texas while the Juarez Cartel divides up the
west. Further, the drug routes moving out of the Lone Star State and into other
states are many.
“Cocaine is the most lucrative of illegal drugs. The United Nations estimates
that sales of the drug net $88 billion a year on the street. While the largest
federations were once Columbian, now it appears they are Mexican. The UN
estimates two-thirds of cocaine that left the Andean region of South America for
the United States in 2008 passed through the hands of Mexican cartels,” the
National Post reports.
This graphic from the National Post breaks down the routes visually and shows where the drug
cartels are operating. It also shows the number of drug related deaths in
various categories, which now totals more than 50,000 since 2006. Has your city
been infiltrated?
