Part 4/8:
One of the most pressing concerns for Mexico is its border security, especially in relation to drug trafficking and cartel activities. The border has become a hotspot for illegal operations where drug cartels exploit vulnerabilities. These organizations not only traffic drugs into the United States but also use the border region to smuggle weapons and other contraband.
Cartels are adept at utilizing border crossings, infiltrating communities, and leveraging various means to sustain their operations. The ongoing conflict and violence rooted in these illicit activities continue to threaten regional stability.
