One of my former clients in El Paso, when shipping from a distribution center in Mexico to another point in Mexico, sent trucks out (carrying high value cargo) in convoy of at least three vehicles with Mexican guards, armed with machine guns, to avoid hijacking.
The company was also unable to pay its Mexicans workers more than the government allowed, about $40 a week. Nevertheless the same company was compelled to pay the Mexican government millios per year for being able to conduct its business.
The word millios in post ten should have been millions. Sorry about that

Corruption: this is why Mexico will always be a “little” country.
