Cartel violence in Mexico has been identified as one of the driving factors behind migration to the United States. The pervasive and escalating violence caused by drug cartels, engaged in territorial disputes and criminal activities, has created a climate of fear and insecurity in various regions of Mexico. This insecurity often compels individuals and families to seek refuge in the United States as they attempt to escape the threats posed by cartel-related violence.Migrants may be directly affected by violence, facing dangers such as extortion, kidnapping, and even murder at the hands of cartels. Additionally, the broader impact of violence on communities, including economic destabilization and limited access to basic services, further contributes to the decision to migrate in search of safety and a better quality of life.In this episode, we get a look at the numbers behind the migration from Mexico and what's causing it and how, like most of the problems in Mexico, the cartels are directly in the middle of it.
