The article titled "Mexico's growing drug Cartels seep across US border" explains that for years now, drug cartels have become an issue that is affecting our U.S. government and has become increasingly worse.. "Mexican trafficking organizations now control operations along the Mexico border, the West Coast of the US, and well into the midwest," according to a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) report. Research has shown that an alarming rate of about 90 percent of illegal drugs distributed in the United States come from Mexico. The article explains: "influence the choices that too many Americans make about where to live, when to venture out of their homes, or where to send their children to school." This is a problem to our community that is trying to stay safe from this neighboring country. The cartels are even taking advantage of our military veterans, who are experts in weapons and computer stuff.
