Everyone has known forever, or should have, that you can pay your way out of trouble south of the border. Corruption and payola rule the day in Mexico, where palms get greased for everything.
The drug cartels have always been a thing there as well. They have been characterized as both Robin Hoods who help the poor folks, as well as ultra-violent criminals who butcher their competition or anyone who gets in the way.
Then, you have to love those old westerns that have a similar view of Mexicans as either banditos or poor villagers who get victimized.
Maybe Mexico is a haven for criminals who have control of everything, and the corruption is deeply rooted. If this is how they are, they probably learned it from us after we went down there and kicked their asses after the Alamo. Business as usual, unless we are going to go there to take over the cartels and bring home mucho denaro, making it worth the time and expense of invading.
