How Did Pablo Escobar Influenced?

“To understand this sentiment, consider the fact that out of the 120.8 million people who call Mexico home, over half—52.3 percent, or roughly over 63 million—live at or below the country’s poverty line. Couple that with a declining confidence in government (only one third of all Mexicans trust elected officials), and you create a window for the population to turn elsewhere for role models” (Martinez). A large part of mexico lives in poverty because the lack of job opportunities the government offers to the people. In a letter written to explain why they marched in favor of El Chapo explain how Guzman helps people get jobs “El Chapo and the drug trade provide employment opportunities that pay well. A dream come true, in places where the government does not lend a helping hand”(Rueda). The drug business creates many jobs for people to survive in such a corrupt country that cannot provide enough jobs.“That drugs destroy. Unfortunately, as I said, where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn’t a way to survive, no way to work in our economy to be able to make a living”(Somaiya) El Chapo told Pen in his interview as Somaiya explains. El Chapo began working in the drug business at a young age. His family's poverty is what made Guzman join the cartels. Guzman started from the bottom and worked his way up. Now he is incharge of the Sinaloa cartel and is a very rich man. Altho he is in jail he has managed

I do think Pablo and Andres both have amazing stories. Although both dead, their deaths strongly impacted Columbia and peoples lives in a huge way. Pablo was not only one of the biggest drug kingpins, but surprisingly to some people, he also had a heart and reached out to others. Not only did he build soccer fields in different neighborhoods, but he also built people homes. He was a god to some people, and I can kind of see why. He was basically a bittersweet individual. Watching the footage of his funeral was baffling. I was in awe when the people who attended his funeral opened up his casket and touch his dead body. Also, the amount of people there had to be in the thousands. It was an unbelievable sight to see, and I have literally never seen anything or anyone act like that after a death.

His cohorts from Sinaloa, Arturo and Hector Beltran Leyva, regularly brought him suitcases of cash so he could grease the wheels of power inside the prison and continue his drug lifestyle, including specially prepared meals and conjugal visits from his wife, girlfriends and prostitutes. His friend, ally and relative by marriage, Juan Jose Esparragoza Moreno, alias "El Azul," made sure that Guzman's product got to the United States without interference from his rivals. He paid every official he can think of to continue what he was doing best, operating a drug cartel.

Some may say that Pablo Escobar helped his country Columbia greatly by spreading his illegitimate wealth across Columbia but the amount of terror and killing he spread across the western hemisphere far outweighed the money he put into the less fortunate communities. December 1, 1949, Rionegro, Colombia, Escobar was born. His family was extremely poor, for example one time he and his brother Roberto were sent home from school because they were unable to buy shoes. From an early age, Escobar had possessed a unique drive and ambition to raise himself up from his humble beginnings. As a boy, he told his friends and family that when he grew up, he wanted to become president of Colombia. Yet as he grew older he realized his path to wealth and legitimacy

In the late 1970’s, Guzman worked under the drug lord Hector “El Guero” Palma by transporting narcotics near U.S.-Mexico border through aircraft. Although Guzman’s rank in the cartel was very minimal, he took his job very seriously. For example, if any of his drug shipments were not on schedule, he would kill the smuggler himself usually letting them experience a slow and painful death. Business partners quickly learned that ripping Guzman off or betraying him was not an option. The way Guzman handled business helped him gain popularity. In the 1980’s, the dominant Guadalajara Cartel introduced him to Felix Gallardo, one of Mexico’s high ranked drug lords. Guzman began working for Gallardo as a chauffeur then quickly moved up in the business with the role of coordinating drug shipments from Columbia to Mexico through land, air, and sea. Palma on the other hand delivered his drugs into the United States. Guzman earned himself a lot of respect for his work and began working for Gallardo directly. Throughout the late 70’s and early 80’s, Mexico drug traffickers were the middlemen for Columbian drug trafficking groups. They would simply transport drugs into the U.S. and receive a fee for each kilogram. At this point Gallardo was the top drug kingpin in Mexico. When Gallardo was arrested, Guzman reportedly lived in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He owned several houses throughout

Each time he got deported, he probably wanted to give up. I think he would've thought "Why should I keep going? Won't I only going to get sent back? Aren’t I closer to home than I am to America?". It also shows you the obstacles that made up Enrique’s journey.

During the early 1990’s Colombia being one of the biggest exporters of narcotics in history, led by Pablo Escobar, who had a wide range of organized crime affiliations throughout Latin America. Pablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord and he smuggled narcotics all the way to South Florida as when authorities tried to capture him. One of Pablo Escobar’s most important alliances was that of the Mexican-based traffickers. Escobar knew that this was an important trade route because of its geography and how it would be easier to smuggle the narcotics into the United States. This allowed a smuggling partnership between both countries and Mexico was to eventually lead their own drug based trafficking system with the help of Pablo Escobar. From the distributed drugs, cartels would take a certain amount of profit, and would use that money to bribe Mexican officials. By bribing Mexican officials it was insured that if smugglers were to be arrested they would either be let go, the case would be dropped or taking action against a rival smuggling group by giving away information about the rival’s plan to carry

     How ever law enforcement was closing in on Escobar. The U.S. want him to be extradited to the U.S. but Escobar surrendered to the Colombian’s in exchange for a promise not to be extradited to the U.S. He was able to design his own luxurious prison and continued to run his business behind the walls. Fifty new charges were brought against Pablo, including political assassination and mass murder. Escobar confessed to just one shipment of cocaine to Europe. When two men came and told Pablo he was being transferred to a military prison, Pablo would have none of this, and he took out hidden weapons, taking the two men hostage. After a night of negotiations 400 army commandos stormed the jail, but Escobar and his brother, along with many others, were gone. After 16 months on the run, he was finally hunted down by Columbian police with the aid of U.S. technology that recognized Escobar’s voice on a cell phone. On December 2, 1993 Pablo Escobar was killed trying to run away on a roof top in one of his safe houses in Columbia.

The Cali Cartel was less flashy with their money compared to other cartels at the time and were more about the business side of drug trafficking. They would ship mostly to Europe and Asia, where it was less likely to get caught. They did not get along with the other cartels around and would give information about them to the police to get themselves out of trouble. The Cali Cartel had competitions against the Medellin Cartel, another cartel from Colombia, especially Pablo Escobar, the leader of the Medellin Cartel. It got very violent between the two cartels and killings often occurred. The Cali Cartel started a group called People Against Pablo Escobar or PEPES, specifically to threaten him,” The Cali cartel began to attack the Medellin cartel -- particularly Pablo Escobar -- as their competition became more and more violent”(“The Colombian Cartels” 1). They would inform the police of his whereabouts, which ended up getting him caught and eventually put in jail. The Cali Cartel then took over the cocaine business until they all got caught and jailed. Most of the cartel sat for ten to fifteen

"Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria (December 1, 1949 to December 2, 1993) was a Colombian drug trafficker who eventually controlled over 80 percent of the cocaine shipped to the U.S..., earning him the rank of one of Forbes Magazine’s 10 wealthiest people in the world.
