editWhen it comes to the Mexican Cartel I think that there are a lot of things that they keep out of the newspaper here in America. So we won’t realize that there is a war raging next door and that it is heading over here very quickly. The cartels run their business just like the Italian Mafia ran their business. There is a lot of drug trafficking, a lot of violence a lot of dirty politics, and a lot of teenagers getting involved thinking it is the cool thing to do. The cartels are recruiting thirteen year old children and training them to be assassins. The cartel’s are threatening our police officers and telling them that they either “Join them or Die.” They are posting signs all around stating "The Zetas (Zeta’s is one of the cartel’s families) want you -- we offer good salaries to soldiers," and taunts about low the army pay is. (both quotes came from www.infowars.com/drug-cartels-to-mexican-police-join-us-or-die/ - ) They are murdering anyone who gets in their way. They have achieved murdering three police chiefs in a row, and they have murdered more than 1000 people just in this year alone. Since 2007 they have killed 9,903 and that is just drug related deaths in Mexico(http:/projects.latimes.com/mexico-drug-war/). I hope that we can get the word out that there is a big problem going on next door and it is affecting America so much. All the drugs and gangs are being run by the cartels now and the cartels are coming into our country to get their weapons and distribute their drugs. There have been a lot of kidnappings and murders in America caused by the Mexican cartel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.28.168.233 (talk) 23:27, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Drug Cartels are not cartels
editThey just aren't cartels. They aren't confederacies of separate groups agreeing to cooperate and not compete on price and production. the "drug cartels" are individual organizations that compete with each other through all available means: price, quality, volume, service, violence, sabotage. Cartels are formed expressly to avoid such competition. Addending the opening paragraph with "drug cartels are not cartels in the proper sense of the word" implies that the proper sense of a word (definition) is a aspect of a word of such insignificance that it is not to be concerned with. The article for English horn does not say: "it's not english in the proper sense of the word" or "it's not a horn in the proper sense of the word", it just says that English horns are neither English nor Horns. Why not do the same for drug cartels and simply say "drug cartels are not cartels"? Grabba (talk) 23:03, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- What are you basing your claim on? How do you know that drug cartels are not, in fact, a confederacy of separate, smaller drug gangs that agreed to join (or were forced to join) together to form one large cartel? - thewolfchild 22:13, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Other criminal cartels
editWe have an article about drug cartels, probably becaise they are the best known. But aren't there criminal cartels that go far beyond drug cartels? Shouldn't there be an article about more far-reaching criminal cartels just beyond the specific matter of drugs? werldwayd (talk) 17:47, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
agreed, I was looking information about health cartels but there is none — Preceding unsigned comment added by Granito diaz (talk • contribs) 20:07, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Recent Negotiations
editOn May 11, 2016, Vicente Fox, one of the former Mexican presidents, called for a negotiation with drug cartels to reduce violence in Mexico. [1]Kurosami (talk) 17:54, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Drug Cartels operate like Wal-mart
editThey say that in certain industries, Wal-Mart is effectively the only buyer in the industry. So if there's some disruption to supply, Lets say the harvest fails for apples or something like that, apple growers aren't able to increase their prices because Wal-Mart is the only buyer. So the sellers have to carry on selling it at the same price as before.It seems that something similar might be going on in the cocaine industry.[1] Yamagucci (talk) 18:20, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
