The American-Mexico border has been plagued by cartel-driven violence, primarily fueled by conflicts between rival drug cartels vying for control over lucrative drug trafficking routes. These cartels, often engaged in illegal activities such as drug smuggling, human trafficking, and organized crime, have led to a significant increase in violence along the border region.

The violence includes territorial disputes, armed confrontations between rival cartels, and clashes with law enforcement agencies. Innocent civilians, including migrants and local residents, frequently find themselves caught in the crossfire, facing the threat of violence and extortion.

Mexican and U.S. authorities have been working to address the issue through increased law enforcement efforts, border security measures, and collaboration on intelligence-sharing. However, the complex nature of cartel operations, corruption, and the vast and challenging terrain make combating these issues an ongoing and complex challenge.


In this episode, we are diving into the cartel driven violence on the border and how it's a problem for all of us.

Hawala lending refers to a traditional and informal method of money transfer and lending that operates outside of the formal banking system. The term "hawala" is an Arabic word that means "transfer" or "wire." It is a system that has been used for centuries in various cultures, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa.In hawala lending, there is no physical movement of money between locations.

Instead, a network of hawaladars (individuals or businesses that facilitate hawala transactions) act as intermediaries to transfer funds from one person to another. The system relies on trust and the reputation of the hawaladar.Here's a simplified explanation of how hawala lending typically works:

1. Person A approaches a hawaladar in one location and gives them the amount of money they want to send to Person B in another location.
2. The hawaladar in Location A contacts another hawaladar in Location B and provides instructions on delivering the equivalent amount of money to Person B.
3. Person B can then collect the funds from the hawaladar in Location B.

The transaction is settled by the hawaladars either through pre-existing agreements, reciprocal arrangements, or, in some cases, by physically transferring money between their accounts in formal financial institutions.

Getting involved in the world of narcotrafficking, whether as a drug dealer, transporter, or in any related capacity, is fraught with immense dangers and consequences. Here is a summary of why it is perilous to become involved in this illegal trade:

1. Legal Consequences: Participation in narcotrafficking exposes individuals to severe legal penalties. Many countries have strict laws and policies in place to combat the drug trade, which can lead to lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and asset forfeiture.
2. Violence and Conflict: The drug trade is often associated with extreme violence, as criminal organizations compete for territory, control, and market dominance. Individuals involved may face threats, extortion, and even death due to conflicts within the drug trade.
3. Health Risks: Exposure to dangerous chemicals during the drug production process, such as methamphetamine or cocaine, can lead to severe health problems. Moreover, drug addiction can result from close contact with narcotics, affecting both physical and mental health.
4. Societal Harm: Narcotrafficking has a profoundly negative impact on communities, contributing to addiction, broken families, and increased crime rates. It erodes the social fabric of neighborhoods and often perpetuates a cycle of poverty and despair.
5. Involvement in Criminal Networks: Entering the world of narcotrafficking often requires collaboration with criminal organizations, which can be challenging to escape from. These groups are often ruthless and may not hesitate to resort to coercion or violence to maintain control.
6. Risk of Betrayal: Trust is scarce within the drug trade, leading to a high risk of betrayal by associates, rivals, or even law enforcement informants. This can result in arrests, violence, or assassination.
7. Impact on Loved Ones: Family members and friends can be inadvertently drawn into the dangerous world of narcotrafficking, putting them at risk. The guilt and fear associated with this can cause emotional and psychological distress.
8. Global Impact: The drug trade fuels corruption, destabilizes governments, and fosters instability in many countries. It contributes to money laundering and compromises the integrity of financial systems, often harming entire nations.
9. No Job Security: The drug trade is inherently unstable, with no job security. Those involved are constantly at risk of being replaced or eliminated by competitors or law enforcement.
10. Limited Exit Strategy: Once involved in narcotrafficking, extricating oneself can be exceedingly difficult, with few legitimate job opportunities and the constant threat of reprisals from criminal organizations

AMLO is learning very quickly that winning an election is the easy part. It's the governance where things get sticky. During the campaign and on the trail, he announced that he would remove the military from the streets and instead use a national guard-based approach to combat the cartels and the violence. That has not happened and instead of removing the military from the street it has ballooned to double the amount than before.

Let's unpack it!
