Are U.S. Drug Users and Their Addiction the Reason Why Mexican Drug Cartels Enter America?

Question by GreasyTony: Are U.S. drug users and their addiction the reason why Mexican drug cartels enter America?
And are they to blame for Mexico’s blood bath to? It’s called Supply and Demand. If we didn’t have all these drug users and distributors for these drugs in America, would we even know about the Mexican drug cartels? Don’t you think we should track down and stop these drug addicts and distributors on our soil first? Putting up a wall will not stop drug smuggler from coming in, if they know there’s billions to be made in America…what are your thoughts?

U.S. Drug Users: Main Cause for Mexico’s Bloodbath

It’s time to take the gloves off and lay the responsibility for the bloodbath taking place on a daily basis in Mexico where it belongs – U.S. drug users. Mexican-style mafiosos are killing each other along with Mexican police officers, judges, prosecutors, journalists and innocent bystanders — be they adults or children — in order to gain transportation corridors through which to smuggle illicit drugs into the waiting hands of U.S. drug users.

“It would stop being a business if the United States didn’t want drugs,” Benjamin Arellano Felix

Corruption in Mexico is no different than it was during the prohibition era in Chicago, New York, New Jersey and most major cities where the mafia fought for territorial rights to sell liquor smuggled from Canada. And today, is there still one naïve U.S. citizen who believes there is no official corruption in Anytown, USA?

Users excuse their own behavior with the line: “My drug use doesn’t harm anyone but me.” But drug usage creates carnage; real people are being killed in both Mexico and the United States.

Pointing the finger at Mexico as the source of our problems has become all too handy an excuse by our government, the news media and by far too many of our citizens to avoid facing problems of our own making.
KAT M, if Americans weren’t buying products from China, their production and importing wouldn’t be as big as it is, just like the drugs from Mexico.
