with that?

Like who receives the shipments and does the distribution once it crosses the border? Cheech and Chong?

There are hot spots all over Mexico, but most are located on main land routes north. There are also tourist destinations that are separate from some of the hot spots.

There are often more deaths in Mexico's drug war than in Afghanistan's drug war. We certainly get a lot more heroin originating or trans-shipped through Mexico than we do from Afghanistan. Most of that goes to Europe, Russia, and the far East.

It's like our own government forgets that bush 1, rummy and the Contras all ran tons of shit into the country during the 80s.

the state of Sinaloa, and the city of Tijuana in Baja California, are along that Western land routes with access to the Pacific, and Sinaloa has a long history of producing pot and poppies in the rugged coastal mountains of the Sierra Madre.

Juarez and Brownsville Matamoros and Laredo are smack on the other main routes and the Eastern Cartel also have the Gulf of Mexico . So the wars are between the cartels themselves as well as some of the government. And of course some of the government is working for the cartels.

And who are our unknown and unspoken about American drug lords supporting? I couldn't say. My guess is it isn't the drug fighting portion of the Mexican government.
