I love Mexico, and the people are great people, it's a shame what the cartels and corruption, more so the cartels, have done to that country

Absolutely right. I've been lucky to travel to many countries and Mexicans are by far the nicest and most generous people I've encountered.
Correct for the mostly poor mexicans. As you get up in the cast system though many are nationalist socialist cocky assholes. Just need to observe their "my shite dont stink" attitude from their shitty national soccer team to understand what I mean.

soccer players are prima dona divas, especially in the Latin American countries, not a good representation of the population

And we don’t want a wall..why?

The same tactics are used in the US prisons. The Gangs offer you safety and comfort while in prison , get to know all about you and your family. While your in prison, your family gets knocks on the door asking for payment. A guy I know got out after serving 6 years on a drug charge. Started a business and one night a guy shows up at his shop asking for drugs to be smuggled into the pen . He refused he left and comes back with a friend. He kills one and almost the other . He’s back in for life . They’ll probably get him sooner or later

Couldnt disagree with you more. If you truly know the different cultures, you can tell the differences. A brazialian and colombian player behaves differently than mexican and argintine players.
Again there is a difference between the poor mexican, and the ones you encounter as you move up the cast system there. If most of your experience is with mexicans here in the us then you are seeing the poor. Im talking about the ones that dont "have" to leave mx, and run stuff.

Thats great, and still a small sample of how mexicans compare to others in latin america.
I've traveled, and know/dealt with people of every latin american country my whole life. it's not all the same just b/c they speak spanish. Different dialects, and behaviors. Their nationalistic cockiness is only rivaled by argitine/uraguay/chile. Even more than here in the US. Their deep down levels of their top levels would be considered extreme here. Not the every day worker.

I agree, and dont care to get into pissing contests on here. I prefer, and learn best from discussion, and not arguments. I put my opinion out there, but it getting dismissed like it's wrong out of the gate, calls for defending it. As our experiences have seen way different things i'm sure.

I like how they honor the merchant to consumer relationship by buying the cars before burning them, yet will ruthlessly take what they want. Sounds like car dealer would be a good gig.

As long as there is an unsatiable demand for the product in the good 'ole USA, and more money than imaginable to be made, there will be cartels and corruption in Mexico.

If you will read what my post actually said, I pointed out that Californians are still buying cheaper, illegal weed. And that by avoiding paying taxes on legal weed they are now choosing to contribute to cartels rather supporting local government services. Sorry that you missed that ... hmmm always heard the pipe made things clearer.

Last year, for some election the cartels killed every candidate whose platform spoke out against the cartels.
When a cartel kills someone, they put a mark on the body so that everyone who sees the body knows what cartel did it as a "don't frick with us" message.
The are worth billions of dollars. Things run like a fortune 500 company, well sort of. Fortune 500 companies don't just go around killing whoever..

Cartels will simmer, corruption on the other hand will take a lot more. Colombias govt nvr got as corrupt to the top like mx has proven. Escobar got cocky when he tried to take his poor mans robin hood schtick to Bogota. Obviously us backing them up hard core helped no doubt.
100$mil+ payoff to the mx prez is crazy, and his assets should be frozen.
