ELI5: Why do we hear so much about Mexican drug cartels but nothing about the American distributors they sell to?

What happens when the drugs cross the border?  Where do they go?  Who is moving them and why do we never hear about it?

Drugs operate in a pyramidal fashion. The cartels are at the top. That's where the money, guns and power resides. The people crossing the border are next down, and they have the toughest job. Next is the distributors who pass it out like middle management. Drug dealers are the bottom of the heap.

When you hear about any big company, you usually hear about the CEO and board of directors. Sometimes upper management. How often do you hear about middle management or the cube farm workers?
