They have a huge corruption problem, and the cartels are very big, even having partial control over the goverment. This creates a situation in which few people in power are both willing and capable of doing something, as they are either bribed or murdered.
I am surprised one Cartel hasn’t tried to push them all out and take full control of the government by now. Get a state sanctioned cartel war and eliminate all their competition with government resources.
IMO they prefer this pseudo-clandestinity. There’s a huge difference between operating and securing a criminal group and actually fully running the whole actual country. Plus is not a single cartel, there’s a whole web and war of cartels, depending on the zone.
The cartels presence also depends on the of part of México you look at, and CDMX, the capital, is not in a situation as bad as other regions.
As an European, it sounds like Mexico is getting invaded by terrorist groups who are trying to take control of the government, and entire country is currently losing to said groups. What happens if the government actually falls? Does UN coalition go in? Does US become world police again?

This is a good point to bring up.
The cartels don’t want the state to fail, because then they wouldn’t have structure to give the farm animals that serve them.

The government isn’t going to “fall” in the sense of a place like Haiti.
It may have already “fallen” by your definition, if you consider the government being run by the “terrorist groups” instead of its citizens.
