Mexico and Cartels — Why It Matters to America

Mexico and Cartels — Why It Matters to America’s Security, Economy & Public Health

Mexican cartels aren’t just a problem south of the border — they are a strategic threat that reaches deep into the United States’ social fabric, public health, and national security. These transnational criminal groups dominate the trafficking of fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and other dangerous drugs into the U.S., fueling a deadly opioid crisis and undermining community safety from coast to coast.
