la plaza, or "Who's in charge here?"
[quote=In the foreword to [url=http://www.druglord.com/forewrd.html]DrugLord.com[/url], Peter A. Lupsha, professor emeritus and senior scholar, Latin American Institute, U. of New Mexico]...protection for drug trafficking in Mexico is deliberate and that is organized along administrative and jurisdictional lines. The success of Pablo Acosta in reaching the pinnacle of organized crime power was not simply the product of violent individual entrepreneurship and gang leadership ability, but was actually the result of a license, a franchise given out by Mexican state and federal government officials to drug traffickers in return for a large percentage of the take and other services. Thus, Poppa was among the first to understand that this was not the work of a few bad-apple politicians and policemen, but was the product of an embedded system of organized corruption that runs from Mexico City through the state capitols and government officials down to the regions where the traffickers operate. It was a system known as la plaza and [it] is useful to quote what the author has to say about this at length here, for it forms the conceptual fabric of the entire book:

"As a clever allegory, it shows that Mexico's drug kingpins are, in truth, simply the replaceable cogs used and exploited by an official system of political and governmental corruption and control. Replace Pablo Acosta's name with that of any drug trafficker, past or present, and it is the same story."[/quote:14wdpcsw]

Unless we enforce laws against illegal aliens today,
tomorrow WE may wake up as illegals.
The last word: illegal aliens are ILLEGAL!
