There Was The Rise Of The Jean Cartel In The United States

The westward expansion was a period of ambition for many Americans who wanted to extend US territory for resources, personal reasons, business and etc. The problem they faced was that it was all Mexican territory. In order to settle in the West, people must become citizens of the Mexican government and follow its rules. This fact upset many Americans as it does not benefit their own country and so the idea of Manifest Destiny was born. Texas and America plotted to overthrow the Mexican government through several underhanded ways that pinned the blame on Mexico.

By the 1900s, the word Manifest Destiny was everywhere. Every American believed that the expansion of the US was a “God-given right.” America had already doubled its size through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, but it had gotten another opportunity to expand in 1846. Texas had declared independence from Mexico in 1845, and applied for statehood. Ten years later, it was accepted into the Union and became one of the US states (province). Around this time, James K. Polk was president. Polk wanted much more of Texas, plus, he had his eye on California as well. Polk was a strong believer in Manifest Destiny and that was why he wanted to declare war on Mexico. The majority of Congress voted to declare war and it was put into action. The one question

He is a Mexican politician formerly associated with PRI. He stole around 223 millions of pesos from taxes which was given to shell corporation. (Grasso) Another case was “La Casa Blanca”(The White House), an investigation from a journalist that made the hugest scandal to the president Enrique Peña Nieto; it was known that he had a house of 86 millions of pesos in Lomas de Chapultepec. (ibid.) In the middle of accusations by the "White House", the then federal Deputy and now the delegational head of Cuauhtémoc, in the Federal District, Ricardo Monreal Ávila, accused that the Governor of Puebla Rafael Moreno Valle delivered projects for more than 26 thousand 212 million pesos in three years, to businessman Armando Hinojosa Cantú, owner of Grupo Higa. The subsidiary of the Hermes Group, La Peninsular, and the subsidiary of Higa, Concretos y Obra Civil del Pacífico, participate in the work of the Baroque International Museum of Puebla, with a value of 7 thousand 280 million pesos. According to Monreal Ávila, the construction will be paid in 23 years, with monthly payments of 22.4 million pesos.The work was offered under the plan of Projects for the Provision of Services, which allows contracting private companies for "the construction of public works affecting the public treasury for decades. The project was authorized by Banobras in 8 days, it was requested on June 20 and it was approved on June 28, 2012, a record time," he said. (Los 10 escandalos de corrupción más sonados en México

The cry of war was heard between two nations that continually fought for land. Different boundaries are being claimed between America and Mexico for the fight of Texas, but the result is the increasing number of the dead. The United states chose to start the annexation of Texas. Mexico was angry with this unfair request. American troops were sent to southern Texas to only result in meeting the same set of foes. Gun shots were heard as U.S. troops and Mexican troops fought. As a result, James Polk, the president of the United States at the time, declared war on Mexico. The U.S. was not justified into going into war with Mexico because the Annexation of Texas and California was unofficial, Texas unfairly changed its borders after winning its

There have been many causes due to the United States of America and Mexico border disputes. These include its extensive history through sources such as the several past wars and the countless disputes between residents. With the strong issue of territorial claims that contradict each other, treaties have been seen as useless with an even more inadequate attempt of fence construction as seen in Image 1. With many bandits and thieves in this area, drug trafficking and illegal immigration is an impending dilemma.

According to Brianna Lee in Mexico’s Drug War, “more than 90 percent of cocaine now travels through Mexico into the United States, up from 77 percent in 2003.” Therefore, drug trafficking is at a higher

Throughout the 1840s and 1850s a major war happened called the Mexican American War which drastically changed the U.S. and Mexico and lead to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to be signed and which established the Rio Grande and not the Nueces River as the U.S Border. This also lead to the U.S. annexation of Texas and lead to the Mexico agreeing to sell California and the rest of the territory for 15 million.

1) What actions prompted the border control offensive and made the issue of illegal immigration a priority?

Manifest Destiny was a positive force in American History. Because of Manifest Destiny, American settlers were able to travel to the more Western parts of our country like Texas. A lot of events took place in Texas which also helped us build our country throughout history.

Real life bandits have always been of great interest for writers. Those symbolic heroes, who by doing wrong do right, have always represented a great opportunity to express ideologies, viewpoints and opinions about an economic, political, or even judicial system. La Pintada, Joaquin Murieta, and Pancho Villa are great examples of this.

"The Zetas have obviously assumed the role of being the number 1 organization responsible for most the homicides, the narcotic-related homicides, the beheadings, the kidnappings, the extortions that take place in Mexico," said US Drug Enforcement Agency’s chief for Mexico and Central America Ralph Reyes after the cartel murdered a police chief, his wife and four children in Veracruz, Mexico. Los Zetas were originally based on military lines, but the group has now been built into a business structure, with quarterly meetings, business ledgers, even votes on key assassinations, the DEA said.Los Zetas also post videos on the internet showing the killing of people. In one clip, posted in 2013, a group of masked men behead four women who allegedly were tied to a rival gang: The Gulf Cartel. The DEA is trying to stop the large drug distribution through foreign affairs but do not seem to be that big of a success

Escobar began from humble beginnings; no one could have anticipated this child of a laborer farmer would one day turn into the world's leader biggest ever drug cartels. It would be safe to say

George wants to engage in this behavior because he is getting greedy and is in search of more profit. While the demand grows, George starts buying drugs directly from Mexico with the help of a few Mexican drug lords. This is his motive, George’s drug abuse and chaotic, rich lifestyle pushes him to another level where the cause of crime is no longer

The Mexican drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes was considered Mexico’s most powerful drug trafficker in the 90s which was beneficial to Mexico, but also gave a lot more problems and turned Mexico into a war zone. Born on December 17, 1956 Amado Carrillo Fuentes made a big impact on Mexico. He came from the small town of Navolato, Sinaloa and became a powerful drug trafficker in the 90s (Susan E. Reed). Much of his life was a mystery. Everybody knew about him, but almost nobody spoke about him. He was nicknamed, “El Señor de Los Cielos” the lord of the skies. This was because he had a very special tool that got him to his success in the trafficking business.

The beginning of Escobar’s reign over the law started in 1976. Pablo and his cousin Gustavo had been arrested for illegal possession of 39 pounds of cocaine. The charges that had been charged against them were very serious. Pablo had influenced the judge to free them by a bribe. It was soon after the case had been attempted to be reopen by a different judge who wanted Pablo arrested for his actions, and knew the prior process of Escobar’s trial was unjust. Escobar 's case was delayed by appeals, and even the DAS that had contributed to the arrest of Pablo had been murduered. Pablo soon from his basis of dealing with the authorities establish a trademark called “ Plata o Plomo”. This meaning silver or lead, which simply means you either accept Escobar’s bribes or be killed. This strategy was so strong and accumulated such a reputation among law enforcement officials, that it is considered a primary reason Pablo was able to expand and grow his drug empire. Therefore after Pablo’s mass murders of Judges and their family members he was basically granted immunity. No judges were willing to take his cases. Thus any charges against him were dropped, and suddenly all files on his cases would vanish. Police chiefs and Judges soon realized it was better to stay out of Escobar’s crosshairs then to get
