    Off topic but I can't find good Mexican food en Tampa. No chilaquiles, the salsa is wimpy, and al pastor is not cooked on a trompo.

  4. It's not the cartels giving drugs to young kids.
    It's the prison gangs. Gangs like Artistas Asesinos and Mexicles and Empresa. Some of these run drugs they purchase from these cartels north to the US also. Aztecas are said to have diminished power in Juarez after they were betrayed by La Linea and or Empresa gang but are still around who knows in what numbers and exist in certain established neighborhoods. All these gangs are also the ones killing these same users and each other by extreme violence like beheadings and such. These gangs are said to work for cartels but are semi autonomous for the most part. This means they deal with their own drugs they purchase from the cartels and then dispose of these and users of these as they please.
    Kids and much less poor kids cannot afford to buy the drugs they use and cannot join cartels for the most part so they join these gangs in order to obtain more drugs to use and the cycle continues. More manpower to kill more people. They also kill other gang members.
    This is why cartels cannot be directly affected even if you label them terrorists. The gangs will still exist and do their shit.

  5. I don’t know there are a lot of you Mexicans that do t like the cartels. Their ways and honestly I’m an American citizen. But not born here. I’m Dominican. My country is not the best. But I won’t lie. I do prefer the US to still lead. Than other countries. I hate what’s going on with the fentanyl situation. And the meth. Mannn it’s not even like the Mexicans are getting back at the US. cause they are also fucking over their own people. How do you see someone from another cartel and call them a dog and kill them in such horrible ways. This whole situation is pretty insane. It’s sad. Sometimes unbelievable. Discouraging. I hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
