They decapitate, torture, and extort. Then they pray, and donate to charity.

The "Familia" cartel is perhaps the most extreme example of the paradoxical enemy which Mexico faces as it tries to defeat organised crime.

It is a fight which would be much easier if the cartels were simply maverick gangs on the fringe of society.

But they are, in many areas, part of society.

"La Familia was originally a social structure. And in many ways it still is," says a former Mexico deputy attorney general and organised crime expert, Prof Samuel Gonzalez Ruiz.

Quote
The latest arrests in the United States confirm what Mexico has long been warning the US authorities: that the drugs which pour across the border every day bring organised crime with them.

But some believe that particular weaknesses within Mexico have made it especially vulnerable to cartels.

Pervasive unemployment, corruption within law enforcement and huge divisions between rich and poor are the perfect territory in which groups like La Familia can flourish.

"Drug trafficking," says Prof Gonzalez, "is a symptom of a far deeper sickness in this country".

How about drug consumption?  What kind of sickness is that?  Hmmm...under Obamacare, I think there will be unlimited treatment.  And, they want to legalize drugs, to make them cheaper. 

What will pervasive unemployment bring the US?  More folks growing drugs to survive?  Competition with Mexican gangs?

Why not shut down the border and keep out the drugs, violence, and gangs?  Start an effort to get rid of the troublemakers already here?

Mexican drug gangs 'spread to every region of US'

Mexican heroin production is growing

Mexican drug gangs have expanded their activities in the US with heroin production doubling in 2008, the US justice department says in a report.

Despite US funding for the war on drugs, trade in marijuana, ecstasy and methamphetamine also grew, the National Drug Threat Assessment said.

The report found that Mexican groups were active in every region of the US.

Gangs were moving an estimated $40bn (£27bn) in cash back into Mexico across the border each year, it added.

Maybe these are the exports Obama want's to double?
