Cartels are armed gangs. They are oppressors, they are violators, they are terrorists. That is their nature. Currently the cartels in Mexico have plunged that country into a bizarre kind of civil war. Tens of thousands of civilians have been killed. Per year. Massacres of civilians by the cartels have been common. Assassinations of judges, prosecutors, and police has been routine. Nearly 60 reporters have been killed. Nearly a thousand children. 1.6 million people have been internally displaced and made refugees in trying to escape the violence.

And this is just in Mexico.

None of these things are natural consequences of giving money to corporations.
