The primary trafficking group is known as La Eme:

Is it that most government and police in Mexico are corrupted and allow the drug cartel to get really big and traffic it? where as in the US when some thing gets started the police and DEA raid it? So nothing can get really any where in the US and that is why the US lacks big or medium size drug cartel in the US?
No, most government and police in Mexico are
NOT corrupted. Most of them are hardcore Catholics.
These men would probably take a bullet for you.
The problem is that 99% of money in México is drug money. If we could have only got NAFTA in about five years earlier we could have beat the drug money into the country. But Mr. Gallardo and his cousin el Chapo not only had distribution routes set up into the US dope, they got a money laundering system into place before anyone figured out we had to stop them. Oops, too late.
Note the masks in the photos above because if the drug gangs knew who those guys were, it might make things difficult on the soldiers.
So if you manage to get a loan to start a business in Mexico, guess the ultimate source of that money? Drug people. No one knows who is bought out because everyone is bought out. If you took a loan from someone to start a farm, start a bank or upgrade a hospital, you are bought out. Even if you don't know it. One day somebody might come to ask you for a little favor. You don't want to cooperate? No problem, the gangsters are not hard, but now you have to sell your business and leave. Good luck getting another loan if you do not cooperate. Every politician is bought out, especially the ones that don't know it.
Want to start an anti-drug political party in Mexico? No problem, people will give you a bit of money to do so but you will come to find that the people who are funding you are themselves drug dealers and they want to control what you are allowed to say.
How could it get any worse? A lot of ways, actually. If you've lived in a mob neighborhood you can sell how well these guys take care of the place. I think Carlos Slim is worse than the drug gangs, and most mine union guys are going to be worse I'd guess.
America is worse off because although drug people don't really run our country (Kennedy died for this), we let oligarchs and tech people and Fauci run it.
Kiki tried to put a stop to all this but he's not really doing so well these days.
