Drug Kingpin could sway election- Collin Lovich

According to a professor at UTEP, the top drup kingpin, Chapo Guzman, could sway the election in his favor. Chapo has a lot of influence with politicians, industrialistist business leaders, and bank and security officials which would all have an effect on the President. He also says that has detected sources of fraud by appling systematic methods. Professsor Lopez also states that Chapo could get away with almost anything he wanted because of the amount of influence he has on people.

Throughout this course, the three most significant things that I have learned about the Mexican Drug Cartel are  that these drug cartels are resourceful, they are extremely violent, and that the U.S. spends millions of dollars on this problem. I always wondered how drug cartels got all of their gun and weapons. They are resourceful, because they pay off who they need to and they get their weapons however they can, even if they have to use a little persuasion. If you try to stop theses cartels they will get very violent so they can have what they want. In most cases they go after your family and cut their throats or cut of their fingers to make sure that you will obey them. And lastly, the U.S. spends millions of dollars on the drug fight in Mexico with little accomplishment. The U.S. is getting smarter with their money by not giving it to corrupt people of arming the enemy.
