SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) - Mexican drug trafficking organizations are now the greatest organized crime threat to the United States, according to a recent report released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The National Drug Threat Assessment for 2009, released last month by the Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center, says Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) operate in more than 230 cities across the United States.
These drug syndicates not only smuggle drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, they also produce drugs here in the United States. “
