but by and large, that's cartel on cartel violence.hat does not, of course, exclude the possibilities like we see far too often here. the target may be a cartel member sitting in a restaurant, but when the head team comes in that restaurant, they just spray it full of bullets and the family sitting next to the target gets killed as well, don. >> that's unfortunate. you said in your story there, michael, that the zetas openly recruit members of the mexican military. what about the government, what do they have to say? do they have the power, the will, the resources to fight against the zetas? >> listen. washington doesn't have the power, the resources or the will to fight against the zetas. what do you think the mexican government can do? as the recruitment openly says in posters and banners, by word of mouth, we offer better pay. we offer better benefits. you've got much greater chance to promotion, a much greater career. it's a very appealing option. and let's not forget, they're recruiting not just soldiers and currently serving memb

these top leaders of the cartels.ur understanding mexicans will agree to the extradition of whatever top cartel leader is caught? >> we certainly are working with our partners in that regard to try to bring that about. as meshaal indicated, there are substantial rewards that are out there for the capture of these people. there have been unprecedented numbers to the united states over the past two, three years as the calderon administration has captured these people and made them available to us here in the united states for charges they are facing and that is why these indictments i believe are so important. ultimately i expect they will be here in the united states and they will face justice. >> the fact that were more focused on these cartels and the federation means they were more prominent in the u.s. and what happened to the cartel [inaudible] >> we are obviously going after those the cartel's where we have a jurisdiction. where the laws will allow us to reset. we are cognizant of the fact there are other organiz

drug cartel. drug cartel. we need to change the terminology to the smuggling cartels, because we are talking about not only drugs going north, but we are talking about guns and money coming south. and the same cartel is involved in the illegal alien smuggling. it is all a network and a profiteering. in fact, i have grown up in an area where we got in the habit of saying illegals being used as the mules for the cartels, and the abuses and a high risk involved with illegal immigrants because of its relationship to the gun, money laundering and the drug cartel. so i did want to make sure that we understand that when we talk about this issue, there are all tied together. the cartels have control of the building and the illegal crossing for much too long and i'm glad to see us address this. i am also glad to see this hearing because too many people on our side of the border think this is a problem that is across the border and it is not going to be a threat to the american communities. this is a major

mexico's most feared and dangerous drug cartels.hael ware uncovers the cartel's grisly side business in human trafficking. again, this is graphic. >> reporter: this is a tale of kidnap, imprisonment, and worse. much worse. it's the story of those who fall prey to mexico's drug cartels because of their hope to come to america. i cannot tell you her name nor anyone else's in this story nor can i show you their faces or tell you where i met them because if i did, they say, they would almost certainly be killed. that's because the violent drug cartels have a new and lucrative business. think of it as a hostile takeover, the people smuggling business. >> this woman fled the poverty of her hometown, the seventh of 12 children. as hundreds do every week in central america, she headed north to mexico, bound for the u.s. only to be seized by one of the most brutal cartels in the business. los zetas. >> the cartel ransomed them off for whatever they could get. selling them back to families who barely could pay. >> they control all the routes.

accused of being a hit man for the juarez cartel. does it surprise you? >> john, it doesn't surprise me in the least. if you look at the business, it is a dirty business and the informant that was killed was clearly an operator for the juarez cartel. and then the group that was put together to actually carry out the assassination on u.s. soil, there's information that that individual was also an informant with the u.s. authorities. so this kind of twist and turn in this business is not unusual, but the fact that it's taking place in el paso on u.s. soil should be a wake-up call for all of us here in the united states. >> i would certainly think so. fred, to what extent have these cartels begun to either infiltrate or recruit from u.s. military and law enforcement? >> we have seen reports of this in the past, john, specifically with the national guard with cartel recruitment of individuals. look, there's so much money to be made in this business that the informant length is very broad within the public service sector, within all facets of society when you

the second indictment unsealed allegies the principal leader of a cartel known as the war as cartel. it alleges they received multi ton shipments with a colombian drug trafficking organization. it operates in one of the primary drug smuggling routes between juarez and el paso, texas. according to the indictment, the cartel maintain its power through bribes and numerous acts of violence. the third indictment charges two men with leading a drug organization of prominence within the federation. one man is currently incarcerated in mexico and awaiting extradition to the united states. the supply route allegedly originated in mexico, went to texas, and branch off to various areas. from 1996 to 2008, they allegedly imported over 100,000 kilograms of cocaine into the united states. the dea estimates between 2004 and 2006 that organization was responsible for shipping truckloads containing over 2,000 kilograms of cocaine into new york city alone. in january 2006, mexican authorities seized the 200 kilograms of cocaine that was destined for the united states. finally, the fourth indictment al

cartels that here in vera cruz are more often than not linked to the los zetas. the american drug enforcement agency tells me originally based on military lines, it's been built on a business structure. with quarterly meetings, business ledgers kept, even votes on key assassinations. and now the los zetas are taxing businesses beyond even their drug reach. from human trafficking across the american border to one recent scandal shows, they've been imposing a kind of tax on the mexican government itself. the state-run oil company has just been revealed has been bleeding billions through corrupt officials linked to the los zetas. and as a dea agent told me, the american border makes little difference to the los zetas, to them, it doesn't matter if the violence is on the mexican side of the border or on the american side. on that american side, one of the instruments of assassination, it was just 13 years old when he first killed. >> i love doing it, he says in this police interrogation. killing that first person, i loved it. i thought i was superman, but you can be
