...2017 Unjustified War with Mexico An incident occurred in the disputed territory north of the Rio Grande. Reports suggest 16 Americans were killed. The number of Mexican soldiers killed is unknown. 70 soldiers were attacked by a much larger Mexican force.

...The Catholic church is an extremely influential interest group throughout Mexico, however they are not politicians or directly take part in government. This is due the freedom of religion Mexico upholds to its citizens. Though there is freedom of religion in Mexico, Catholicism is the majority religion of most citizens. President Fox made it clear in 2002 that the Catholic church was an accepted influence when he kissed the pope’s hand during an official papal visit to Mexico (55). The success of an interest group is determined based on the influence it has over constituents as well as the efficiency of influencing legislation and initiatives passed by politicians to better the lives of members.

...the United States I decided to do my research paper on drug trafficking methamphetamine in the United States. I chose this topic for two reasons, one because I have had a history of drug trafficking methamphetamines myself and another reason is because I am currently working on my BA in applied behavioral science to further my career in substance abuse counseling. A little bit about methamphetamines being transported from Mexico to the United States is DEA (drug enforcement administration) is trying to put a stop to Americans transporting drugs from Mexico to the United States. And with the DEA doing this Americans think that it would be safer to make methamphetamines in their own homes instead of taking the chance transporting the drugs from one state to another. So I plan on doing my research paper along the lines of the DEA cracking down on Americans transporting methamphetamines and Americans making or “cooking” methamphetamines in their homes, otherwise known as “meth labs”. My hypothesis is that Mexico is the major supplier to the United States for methamphetamines and many Americans are going to Mexico to get methamphetamines and transporting the drugs back to their city to distribute the drug to make money. After doing some research on the topic I found that “DEA has concluded that Mexico has become this country’s primary source of a category of drugs now flooding it”. (Interiano, 2008) Also I found from another source that “Mexico-based groups are now believed to control...

...of Mexican drug cartels in the United States? Andres F Urueta Dr. Maugh LIB-495-GS001 December 5, 2014 Abstract This research paper examines the impact of Mexican drug cartels in the United States. Most Americans are not aware of how far reaching these cartels are in the United States. Their power has an influence in our government and communities. This project examines who the Mexican Drug cartels are, what their purpose is, where they have influences, and when did they start to become a problem for the United States. This paper also touches base on the impact of the drugs that are illegally brought into the United States by these cartels and their methods for justice.

...facility in Albany, Georgia, is at capacity. With a new line of plastic bottles to manufacture, Riordan has purchased a plastic molding facility in Hermosillo, Mexico. In addition, Riordan has learned that customers want them to ship perfume bottles to Howard Beach, New York as well as Vancouver, Canada. These changes will force Riordan to make changes to their supply chain to ensure they can continue to service their customer at a high level. Solution(s) to the changes and/or problems The new plastic molding plant in Hermosillo, Mexico will present Riordan Manufacturing with a new set of problems and changes to contend with. A new manufacturing facility in Mexico and an additional delivery point in New York will force Riordan to expand their supply chain operations to include the two new locations. Challenges Riordan may face include increased lead times to get raw materials to the new manufacturing plant in Mexico, and increased lead time to get the perfume bottles to the Vancouver and New York locations. Riordan may also experience increases in freight costs for customers, and the potential for quality issues with the new manufacturing plant. To combat these potential issues, Riordan Manufacturing must research and implement solutions. One solution to consider is researching how the plastic manufacturing plant in Mexico is accustomed to doing business. The plant, under previous ownership may have excellent relationships with local material suppliers, which would eliminate the...
