Mexican Drug Violence Spills Over Into US.

I have been reading up on the ongoing drug violence in Mexico. It seems that the drug violence In Mexico has spilled over into the United States. It is reported in Phoenix that there has been a sharp increase in kidnappings and home invasions. There were a reported 350 kidnappings and home invasions the past two years, and they were directly connected to drug gangs in Mexico. I, personally, don’t find this very surprising. I have done reports and research about Mexico when I was in high school, and I remembered reading that Mexico is very much known for its connection with drugs and drug cartel. An example of the violence that is going on is when a heavily armed group of men broke into a house in Phoenix and randomly killed a person. The police believe that this break in and murder was directly related to a Mexican drug organization. Atlanta area police found a 31 year old man beaten, gagged, and chained to a wall in a quiet neighborhood in a suburb in Georgia. They later found out that the man owed a Mexican gang a reported $300,000. I don’t know about any of you guys but I thought this kind of stuff only happened in movies. These kinds of crimes remind me of the movie Scarface. This issue is definitely serious because it’s scary to think that this could spread deeper and deeper into the United States and cause a problem not only with the Mexican government, but also with the United States government.
