However, have you ever wondered why they tolerate the cartels? Likely because they line the pockets of all of the important people in the Mexican government, law enforcement and military, similar to the way corporations do in the US.
Dude, it's far worse than you think. I get the DEA weekly brief and the intercepted conversations we hear show how deep the corruption goes. It's sad too, because Mexico is such a cool country, and on its face they have a robust economy. By all accounts they should be a well developed nation and a player on the world stage. But the corruption issue really prohibits them from doing anything of substance.
