this sounds just like the fake drug war.

I heard from the Mexican media that the US has made a deal to permit Sinaloa shipments in return for info permitting the bust of the shipments of their competitors. So while we do get our busts, we’ve turned the US side of the market into a monopolgy of sorts, and that’s why those guys of our got shot down in Mexico 3 weeks back.

This has happened for a long, long time. Names, cartels and product change from time to time but this is nothing new.

Border Patrol Agents work their areas based upon their own knowledge of the area and where smugglers/drug runner operate. They take no direction to go after so-and-so, they go after ALL who attempt to enter this country illegally or smuggle drugs.

Border Patrol Agents are putting it all on the line to stop the flow. It is wrong to infer they are part of some nefarious US Government plot to favor one cartel/source over another. They catch all they can and they don't give a hoot who they are.

“I heard from the Mexican media. . .”

To be honest, that statement does not engender much credibility. They are much like the arab media, full of wild conspiracies where Americans are behind some diabolical sinister plot.
