 Drug trafficking is a very lucrative million dollar industry in the United States. Drugs are very dangerous substances that cause many dangerous side effects to the individuals consuming it. While it is one's choice to administer drugs into our body, the person providing illegal drugs to the general population is partly responsible for the effects, and dangers the consumer might encounter while under the influence of the drug. Laws convicting individuals of drug charges should be equal across the judiciary system. While everybody who gets convicted of drug charges get a sentence some individuals get minimized sentences based on race, gender and intel.

The United stated states authorities believed that that Beltran was a very important link between drugs coming from Columbia and the Mexican Cartel that were being snuggle into the United States. Beltran was sentence by a judge to served time in jail and to return to her home country. Although Sandra Avila Beltran gave the United Stated authorities intel she should still have to face more jail time like any other individual being convicted of drug charges. In todays society there needs to be a more equal fair judicial system in which constituents are not able to get way with murder, drug trafficking, rape the list goes on. Equal sentences need to be implied on the individuals commiting the crime regardless of the color of their skin, social standing and connections they might have among other factors. Constituents of the United States of America should have equal treatment and not have to fear being targeted because of their background.
