In terms of working relationships, the cartel (Mexican) has members on both sides of border. Unlike mobsters and tatted up Mexican gangbangers, the cartel guys don't look like your stereotypical criminals and blend in easily. They'll work with the Mexican American gangs before the mafia, although they are not the same organizations. But they share a common language and to an extent, culture.
You shit-kicking, stinky, horse-manure-smelling motherfucker you! If you ever get out of line over there again, I'll smash your fucking head so hard you won't be able to get that cowboy hat on. You hear me? Fucking hick. -Nicky (Casino)
