The Mexican government is no longer in control of its country. Gang drug cartels rule the streets and thousands of people have been executed via burning alive, beheading, and hanging. NAFTA plays a part in this because the drugs can go via truck where goods used to travel by plane or boat to Florida. When that drug path was closed, drug dealers found an easier way to get their drugs into the U.S. Another problem that NAFTA caused was the price of farm goods no longer could compete with prices paid in the U.S., and many growers began working for the cartels to survive. A government official says at least 60,000 arrests have been made. Soldiers had to take over in the city of Warez because the police force was corrupt. But stories are coming out that the military is being corrupted as well.

I just read an article in this month's Mother Jones about a Mexican reporter who had to flee with his son to the border and request asylum in the U.S. Back in 2005, he and other patrons at a local restaurant were robbed by soldiers in the Mexican army. He made the mistake of reporting about it in the paper and since then, he's been offered bribes to keep his mouth shut about what the army or police do. For the sake of his son, he promised but wouldn't take the money. Last year, the army was trailing him and an informant told him they planned on killing him. He took his son in their pickup to the border. He spent a year in American prison with other illegals because he could not prove to the DHS that he was not a threat. He was finally released but was one of the lucky ones.
Drug cartels and the Mexican army rule Mexico and many people believe that their current president is also illegal, meaning he didn't actually win election. Drug cartels bribe officials, soldiers, and police for protection. Even when some dealers are arrested or even killed, sometimes an informant is actually working for another cartel who are working at eliminating competition.
Another danger is reporters and informants can not only find themselves in danger, but their entire family is threatened. Tens of thousands have been murdered by cartels. police, and soldiers.
Border patrol agents are also being corrupted with bribes from dealers. Four arrests have been made so far. One allowed about 22 million in cocaine through.
