The number is the same as that of the police, and many of them are special forces. Why are Mexican drug lords so powerful?

Originally, drug trafficking was a high-risk and high-reward thing, but in this messy place of Mexico, it was easier to make drugs and sell drugs. Once you have money, you can buy high-tech equipment and weapons, and you can also recruit retired soldiers, so Mexican drug lords are certainly powerful.

There are not many countries in the world that can ensure the safety of citizens, mainly because most powerful countries have to use guns, while countries without strength cannot strictly control them. Mexico is such a country. Without strong economic backing, domestic military strength can't control everyone, and domestic gangs are drug dealers. These people are all rich, and collusion between officials and bandits is not difficult. That's why it's so hard for him to pay it off.

To say how chaotic Mexico is, just look at the attitude of the United States towards Mexico. The US-Mexico border is the busiest border in the world. Every day, a large number of Mexicans want to cross the border from Mexico to the United States to make a living. Think about it. If they can live at home, who wants to go to a foreign country and face the risk of being sent back to the United States because of the language barrier? The United States also strongly opposes such illegal immigrants, so it has built a long border wall.

There are five major drug trafficking organizations in Mexico, which are rare in the world, and drug dealers are also the source of trouble in Mexico. Generally speaking, drug trafficking is one of the fastest ways to make money illegally, but in some big countries, the supervision is basically very strict, so it is impossible to have such a drug trafficking base in China, so drug dealers manufacture it from abroad and then transport it to China for sale. Mexico's national strength is simply weak, which makes the growth environment of drug dealers excellent.

Once you have money, it is not a problem to buy off officials, buy some large artillery and guns, and recruit some retired or highly skilled dead people. On the other hand, the Mexican government is very poor. What can be done to encircle these drug dealers? Moreover, some of the money earned by drug dealers has become Mexico's foreign exchange reserves, which is also the main reason why the Mexican government has not made up its mind to pay it off.
