I sure don't actually know how many cartels, but what you typed suggested that there's only one.

As far as my spitball number of 150, I got that from a blurb from this:

I see that 150 was their sample size, so I think I'm shy on that number, but you can argue with them, as they have more facts at their fingers than I.

Now I'm gonna take some advice from Proverbs 26:4-5, and not argue with a fool.
- The word “cartel” is similar to “monopoly” in the sense that the word implies one

  They seem to think there are more.
- You have no idea how the cartel works do you?
  
  There is only one "on that area" sure another can try to get in but will fail..... "How many prople work for the mexican drug cartels" hahahhahhahaha oh my God.... Read a book
  
  Which book from your personal library do you suggest?
  
  For you? Any.... Trying to be a asmart ass saying "there is not only one cartel" my God....
  
  Instead of having a productive convo, you rely on insults. How does that defend your POV?
  
  I dont think I gotan answer, was he an immigrant?
  
  And I never got an answer about whether you want a reasonable convo or just wanna fling shit.
  
  Reasonable convo or just qanna fling shit?
  
  I just want to know if it was an immigrant or not, its all. Sounds (from the lack of answer that Im getting that) he was?
  
  I do want to ask you, seriously: who hurt you?
  
  My lack of answer is twofold:
  
  the answer seems to not be available at the mo', and
  
  even so, so what?
  
  Would you be happier if they were a white boy MAGAt (who are no strangers to amassing weapons for an armed conflict)?
  
  I'm not happy about any asshole who wants to move shit-tons of munitions to fuck with civilians, whether they're from here or not, and regardless of who they vote for.
  
  I know at least one lefty acquaintance who is of the militia mindset, and if I knew that person were moving guns, I'd narc on him as fast as any * pinche cholo* or Stormfront shit-eater.
  
  Obviously YMMV.
  
  Even so, so what?
  
  Lol
