Unfortunately, the answer lies in the deep rooted corruption of government officials.
Military, police and all levels of government are culpable in assisting the cartels in their crimes.

The checkpoints are not effective against the cartels. They catch small stuff from time to time and use it for photo ops.

A coastline like Baja presents a unique challenge for intercepting contraband!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Yeah. Though she said they didn't feel particularly personally threatened-- the invaders were specifically looking for someone and acted according to their lights to do so without any overt agression towards the "civilians" at the ranch-- but it's always frightening to have a bunch of heavily-armed strangers show up. :light:
