Yes this is true, but keep in mind most of the political figures with-in Mexico are corrupt and bought with cartel drug money. So even though the govt is aligned with the US, it's still problematic.
You could almost say the cartels are states with-in Mexico that have no actual boarders. They are as powerful as the govt, so it's the same as fighting a well armed militia, but rather than being political motivated they are motivated by profits.
