Mexican Badlands

(Page 2 of 2)

After all the required expenditures there are still fortunes to distribute to safe havens around the world -- including in the United States. Like everyone else, the Sinaloa put a great deal of money in Arizona and California development projects in past years and are now suffering with all the other investors.

Arizona police sources have their suspicions about all the investment finance that has flowed in since 2000, but rarely can pin it down. They just say that some of the empty multi-million dollar homes owned by obscure trusts and corporations are now going for unexpectedly low prices these days. Cash flow problems seem to affect everyone.

The fact that the Sinaloa cartel can continue to operate effectively even though their paramount leader is on the run and one of his principal adjutants was arrested in the beginning of the year is a testament to their strength. Sinaloa controls the Mexican side of the border with Arizona. They will be the people with whom we will have to deal, one way or another, if we want to cut down illegal immigration and drug smuggling in that area.

Will the new Washington administration be prepared to take on that opponent? Obviously the Mexican Government needs help.
