The usa needs to cut the shit and go down there and take out the cartel once and for all. Send the military in to wipe them out. Fuck all the bribes and kickbacks the us politicians get for letting drugs cross the border along with illegal gang members.
It would be like Afghanistan.
The cartels are so engrained into the political system, military, police and local governments, it would be literally impossible.
We would basically have to occupy Mexico for decades and we have seen how good we are at that.
Mexico should be cut off completely and a wall built.
Trespassers shot on sight.
But that will never happen, no matter how bad the cartels get.
And i like Mexico, i've been going there for 17 years. My GF was born there and i visit almost once a month.
Still, i'd blockade all of Latin America from the States. All those countries are cesspools of violence and corruption. Way worse than anything we have seen in the USA.
