Mexican Cartels

I often thought of this as well. Give them an ultimatum that if you don’t help stop the flow of crime and drugs coming into our country we are going to take matters into our own hands.
People are so corrupt down there I wouldn’t trust anyone with our soldiers. They would tip off the cartel that our soldiers are coming.

As long as you all are the ones off to spend your lives in Mexican slums fighting a war against microeconomics.
You want to help Mexico? End the war on drugs. Bragging about stopping enough fentanyl at the border to kill the entire US population isn't doing anything. That's one load. Decriminalize drugs in the US. Don't endorse drugs, but decriminalize them. You're not stopping fentanyl with a border wall, voter id, school prayer, or conservative (pretend) hard work.
You want to win hearts and minds? I suppose Mexico is just naturally Mexico. They'd be crossing someone's border if we ceased to exist.

In my experience, most of the people who fervently oppose decriminalization of drugs are either cops or near-retirement scammers involved in MLM's selling bullshit nutritional supplements.
Hell,we can’t stop drugs in our own country, WHF makes you think we can in a foreign country?
I see where the US is becoming more directly involved since last year. We have been partially financing the fight against the Cartels since 2008 though.
"The U.S. Congress passed legislation in late June 2008 to provide Mexico with US$1.6 billion for the Mérida Initiative to provide Mexico with law enforcement training and equipment, as well as technical advice to strengthen the national justice systems. By the end of Felipe Calderón's administration (December 1, 2006 – November 30, 2012), the official death toll of the Mexican Drug War was at least 60,000.[43] Estimates set the death toll above 120,000 killed by 2013, not including 27,000 missing.[44][45]"

Your President is handling it as soon as he's done finding the cure for cancer and solves global waming.
It'll be great. The GREATEST, in fact.
Stop? No.
Kill the leaders.of the cartels because the Mexican government is too scared of them to really fight? Maybe
Or people with common sense. Or.people that have lost friends and family to addiction. Or really.most people...
I'm not quite sure what you intended with this comment
Would we welcome mexicos help with an internal issue here? Doubtful. We also don't have the inability to deal with our internal problems
Would the American people welcome a chance to end the cartels?
Maybe. Many would oppose.
You have fuzzy logic. I'm sorry if you've had family members struggle with addiction or have lost people to addiction. I'm no stranger to the issue. It's not Mexico's fault. It is your family member or friend's fault. 100%. It's important to remember that. If you lost a family member or friend to addiction, it is 100% their fault and no one else's.
I'm fine with us making an enemy of Mexico if it will please you rubes and make sure the government is open for business. That's my border security compromise.
FIFY
Also, I belive 75% or more of US cocaine came through the southern border via the cartel. You can fact check me, but I'm pretty sure that's right.

They aren't an enemy now? The cartels. Not Mexico.
Perhaps you don't understand how strong and deangerous the cartels are in Mexico?
The cartels run the show, I understand that. Their main racket is based on retail markup of drugs. The retail markup exists because of the risk involved with supplying illegal drugs to a wealthy nation (hhhhhhh what if they weren't imprisonable felonies). The cartels aren't separate from Mexico. Who is welcoming our help in putting down the cartels? I believe we've provided a lot of resources to this problem for a few decades now.
He did not testify to that but another person did say it happened. It was their former President, who is not actually POTUS because he’s in Mexico. Maybe POTUSOM. At any rate, there’s no reason for the guy to make it up.
Some people on here has zero understanding of just how harmful these drugs are. I just shake my head at the ignorance.
