[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3726429, member: 35036"] In my opinion, It boils down to logistics. Getting anything from South American to northern Mexico involved not only crossing through several border crossings and multiple parts of Mexico who may be under control of the gov and other cartels, but also the Darien Gap in Panama. The Darien gap is 60ish miles of impenetrable jungle, mountains, and swamp, that’s constantly being patrolled by the FARC, a 10,000 strong resistance army in Columbia, several criminal groups, and other unsavory individuals. There’s never been a road put through there, partially due to the terrain, partially due to the crime, and I’ve actually heard that there was a push by US big beef to keep it that way to prevent hoof and mouth disease from migrating here from South America. On the other hand, boats are more expensive than cars, and present an easy target for US and other nations coast guard. Driving a car from the southern US to northern Mexico eliminates all of the above issues with either route. Just have to find some soccer moms or dudes driving work vans to get across the border for a short trip. for an interesting read: [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darién_Gap']Darién Gap - Wikipedia[/URL] [/QUOTE]
