In Mexico it's sex, drugs and death.

The Washington Post has an article on the Mexican music industry here are some of the money quotes:

"Among music industry insiders, Sergio Gómez's death and the previous killings are also forcing a quiet assessment of the influence drug trafficking kingpins wield over the business. It is common knowledge in Mexico's music industry, but not known to the general public, that drug cartels finance the careers of some budding musicians, then launder money through unregulated concert ticket sales, according to industry sources, musicians and law enforcement. "

Just as the drug gangs of Mexico help some of these Mexican muscians achieve fame they also help illegal immigrants cross our borders by giving them backpacks full of drugs to carry across the in exchange for coyotes to guide them into our country. Of course the mainstream media often ignores this little tidbit in their stories of illegal immigrants.
