Almost all gangs are now working together. If you have a product that can help or give benefit to the gang they will do business with another "rival gang." When in years past they would not associate with them. They are getting smarter and smarter all the time. They are forcing their members to go to college, to get degrees or learn in business, real estate, tax law, criminal law. So they can better hide and launder their money. They are also forcing them to join the military so they can learn more about combat and weapons. It is not just the Mexicans gangs, but all the gangs.

They are also finding that military families, the ones that are coming from the west coast or larger cities who's kids are in gangs; are bringing that life style to smaller towns, when mom or dad are shipped to a new base. They are recruiting new members and are doing the same stuff that that they are doing in larger cities.
