I have a friend in Mexico City and he confirms that there is a huge organized crime problem in the country that goes far, far beyond drugs or human smuggling. It’s totally invisible to most of the world and it’s causing the country to rapidly deteriorate into anarchy. This is not a good time to be visiting Mexico.
His father owns a ranch and is constantly dealing with cartels who want his property for gasoline theft - huachicoleros. So far he’s been able to hold them off but it’s getting very dangerous and there’s no one who can protect them.
