Mexican cartels dont really blend in with society so infiltrating various sectors of the economy like the american mafia did would never happen.
Mexican cartels are in to drugs and thats it. The mafia was much more influencial and much better organized. These cartel guys idolize the mafia for whatever reason..
The only reason why the LCN has penetrated various sectors of society is because law enforcement back then wasn't as sophisticated as today(and because it was a different country back then). Nothing to do with "blending" in. After the LCN is finished and is kinda really is now, there won't be any other group that will penetrate sectors of society as it did.
