Why is Mexico becoming so unsafe all of a sudden?

Question

I hear the drug cartel is getting pretty bad, killing everyone even shooting at our understaffed border control agents, often ambushing them, and if the Border Patrol shoots back they get sent to American Jails.

Answer 1

you have to live there to understand it, where i live above 40 people were killed just in January related to drug issues, authorities are corrupt, it doesn't scares us anymore that we hear on the news that someone was killed, it just a normal thing nowadays because it has been happening a lot, i think it has always been unsafe but not so unsafe like now, before there would be robberies and a couple of kidnapping here and there, but now its just murders everyday and no investigation on it, we are pretty messed up

Answer 2

It's because they have a corrupt system and the USA has been cracking down on the immigration problems. That is starting to put pressure on the drug pipelines and that is more newsworthy so you have heard more about it.

Answer 3

Mexico is a lot  safer ,now,than its ever been

Answer 4

Mexico has been a dangerous place for decades.  Those 15 million illegals didn't just show up yesterday.  Even Mexicans don't want to live there.

Answer 5

mexico isnt "unsafe" all of the sudden, and it's not even that unsafe, the media makes it sound like its a train wreck there but it's not really that bad. Average people with average lives meaning they arent into drugs are just fine and live life just like everybody else in the world. It's not as safe as the USA but still it's not as bad as ppl make it sound.

AND mexicans, most of them would love to stay in mexico but mexico's biggest problem is the economy which their goverment needs to fix, so they come cuz it's survival not they just wanna steal jobs or corrupt the states.

Answer 6

DRUGS AND CORRUPTION

Answer 8

And do remember--if there were no drug problem in the US, creating an enormous mulit-billion dollar market--there would be no drug cartels in Mexico--and no drug-related violence.

Answer 9

"...all of a sudden?"  Mexico has been unsafe for a long time.
