You forgot human trafficking, extortion, theft, murder for hire etc.....

I guess if we just let all the illegals in that would cut off that source of Cartel revenue too, right? If we're going to do it right, let's just make EVERYTHING legal and be done with it. No need for cops, courts or jails....Imagine how much we could save....

None of those produce near the revenue that drugs do. Drugs are what keep their cash flow going an allows them to do other things on a grander scale.

Mexico is a NARCO State and should thusly fall under the WOT guidelines.
Shut down the boarder and begin neutralizing those threats. Wait, that War on Drugs thing is BIG business, we cant cut that cash cow outof the budget.
Im not making light of anyone who has spent legit time going after NARCO bad guys, but what is happening south of the boarder is getting to levels of tragic comedies.
The Mexican Gov. has no control over their issues and yet we let a few million of their socially brainwashed citizens into our country and roam like cattle on the prairie

I remember reading an article earlier this year about how much of this violence is bleeding over and in to this side of the border. I believe Tucson Arizona's crime statistics were cited.

As long as they keep trying to deal with it from a law enforcement perspective and not an insurrection or civil war it will get worse. I'm sure the cartels stay just on the line from outright civil war to keep from getting shelled and hit with CAS.

Not sure where the line is, but if technicals with 50 cals, laws and belt fed 240s are not past the line I am pretty sure the Mexican government doesn't have a line.

We lost this battle when we went legit. When we talk about organized crime and getting rid of bad guys, they don't respect the kid gloves treatment they get in the US legal system we have today. Actually scaring narcos into staying out of the desert Southwest went out the door once we made psychos like Col Charlie Askins a thing of the past.

South of the border it's plainly obvious that not only do the narcos operate with impunity in the face of local, state and federal law enforcement, they do so in the face of the Mexican military as well. So until Mexico gets serious and starts F-111'ing narco families like we did Gadaffi back in '86, they're pretty much immune from authority as we know it.

This is a great listen in terms of knowing what’s coming at us.
The gov is looking the other way on the border and immigration and that means big money is flowing into Washington from the narcos.
