Sinaloa Drug Cartel Runs Chicagoland

The Sinaloa cartel supplies 80% of the heroin, coke, pot and meth in Chicago, IL from which it earns $3 billion a year, and much of the deadly violence on the city’s mean streets is among rival gangs carving out their retail turf for that drug trade as reported by Bloomberg:  “the pipeline of Sinaloa drugs to Chicago runs through the predominantly Mexican neighborhood known as Little Village on the city’s southwest side, authorities say.”

The Sinaloa cartel is headed by Forbes-listed billionaire Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, and Chicago Crime Commission chief Art Bilek says the drug boss has “centralized everything — the shipping, warehousing and distribution of drugs, and the collection and transport of money back to Mexico” and “has top people in here to make sure things run smoothly.”

There’s something fundamentally wrong with our government and its so-called leaders when the drug cartels are besting law enforcement.  The United States can’t even beat back the narco crews on its home turf, and yet seriously thinks it can take on the intractable mess in the Middle East?  Perhaps America should gets its own house in order before meddling overseas in the affairs of others.  Although Barack Obama frequently says that he can walk and chew gum at the same time it’s become woefully apparent that he can’t.
