I don't think anyone would argue that the Mexicans were not #1 in the drug trade in NA. So my question is when did they surpass the Colombians and do you think they Mexicans will always dominate this trade or will they go the way of Escobar and be replaced?
Towards the end of the 1990's, with the fall of the Cali cartel, the Mexicans started to become predominant. Cocaine only comes from a few places so the Colombians and Mexicans will always have a geographic advantage. As well as the fact that they're so close to the world's biggest drug market - the U.S. I suppose it's possible we may eventually see the Mexican cartels break down into a number of more fractured groups, similar to what happened to the major cartels in Colombia.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
