Can the Italian mafia continue to survive as it has a hold in the drugs racket? Is it possible to say that drugs will cripple them indefinetly?

Mostly America, thanks for responding so quickly

They're all in dope, and they have been since day one. There's a ton of money in high grade weed right now, and they're not passing that up. But the sentences are pretty stiff if you're a mob guy.

Sally Larca just got almost nine years in an Interstate weed case, and that was a plea bargain. If he was a 19 year old Dominican kid from Burnside Avenue, he probably would have gotten a year and a day.

To be fair that case did involve trafficking 40,000 pounds of weed

Nobody really talks about the Dominicans but they move a shit load of dope today, probably right behind the Mexicans .

From a percentage standpoint the mob isn't as dominate as it was up until the 80s with Mexicans and Dominicans brining in a lot more dope these days but there are still wise guys out there moving a lot of weight . They still have a lot of connections to big suppliers in Italy and Canada .

Are there many Mexican criminals active in New York?

Loads.

South Yonkers, which is just north of the Bronx, is estimated to be home to more illegal Mexicans that any American city Northwest of Texas.

Jezus Christ. I hate to say it and I really don't wanna sound racist (as I'm far from that) but it really looks like illegal Mexican criminals have spread throughout all of the US like a pest

Dominicans are big into heroin too if not more so than cocaine.

I believe it, Scorsese. I only brought up the cocaine because it's been common knowledge for so many years. As far back as the early '80s, if you wanted to score some coke you jumped on the Major Deegan, got off at Yankee Stadium, and took a right over to the Heights to see the Dominicans.

yeh you remember the gheri curls gang they were crazy.

Interesting, Scorsese. But it says they were active from the early '90s. I was already in my 30's by then with a wife and two little girls. I wouldn't have gone into the Heights back then on a bet .

Of course, the mob's can't rely on one market. Not enough money and the way I see it, too much risk.

illegal Mexicans In new York city,

illegal Mexicans In new York city, that's hard to believe, im up here far northwest, and the Mexicans that are here are from L.A. the biggest illegals are cali, texas, az, and the gulf states, first I ever heard of new York illegals, their a long way from home. 20 years from now the white American male might be the absolute minority. and that my friends will be very bad.
