The Texas Department of Public Safety just issued a press release.

Six of the seven Mexican Cartels have established command and control networks in Texas and they are recruiting Texas students to support their drug, human, currency and weapon smuggling operations on both sides of the Texas/Mexico border. These Cartels and their operatives are extremely violent, torturing and killing thousands of people in Mexico, and they use transnational and Texas prison gangs to further their criminal operations in Mexico and the U.S.

Go read the whole press release.

And remember folks… we keep drugs illegal because it’s the only way to keep our children safe from the dangers of drugs.
