One guidance note: I do not want to make any conclusions in this paper. Merely lead the reader to render their own opinion.
We do not want to conclude that there's no proof that cartels are collaborating with terrorists etc. or that the cartels are not themselves doing acts that meet the definition of terrorism.

Definition of terrorism (for my purposes): Acts of violence that are aimed at noncombatants/innocent civilians intended to create fear, for the purpose of achieving a political goal, and are conducted by a non-state group.

This is where this topic gets interesting / just food for thought: We know that the drug cartels/gangs have their goals, which are not focused politically (however, they do wish to influence governments to leave them alone) ? and as a by-product/result, they have weakened the Mexican government during the process. Terrorist groups, who have targeted the U.S., may see this as a real opportunity to ally themselves with the cartels to raise funds, create further instability on the boarder and infiltrate the U.S. etc. Furthermore, as the Mexican government gets weaker and their limited resources stretched we could see an increase in immigration (legal and illegal) of Mexican citizens just wanting to escape, loss of credibility and trust of the Mexican government and /or possible U.S. ground intervention in Mexico (just some of the scenarios).
