The relationship between drug trafficking and terrorism has long existed, and can take many forms depending on the goals and needs of each party. Sometimes hybrid criminal-terrorist organizations form in which terrorist groups become involved in the drug trade to fund operations, purchase equipment, and pay foot soldiers. In return, they provide safe passageways for the drugs and give traffickers tips for circumventing customs and security forces. Other times a localized criminal organization or terrorist group lacks expertise, so increased contacts and business with major drug cartels helps advance the sophistication of their operation. Ultimately, though, both have logistical needs and working with or even talking to each other allows the groups to share lessons learned, important contacts to corrupt officials, and operational methods.
Thus, it’s not surprising to hear that the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) is already talking to Mexican drug cartels. Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX), a member of the House Judiciary Committee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, said as much on Newmax TV’s “America’s Forum” on Wednesday when asked if there’s any interaction between the two.
“My opinion is yes,” he replied. “There seems to be at least a talking to each other. How much? I don’t know. But ... drug cartels use the same operational plan as terrorist groups do. They kill their opponents, they behead their opponents, they brag about it and they have operational control of many portions of the southern border of the United States. Mexico doesn’t. The United States doesn’t. Otherwise they wouldn’t be crossing daily with their drugs. They’re as vicious as some of these other terrorist organizations. We need to recognize them that this is an organized international crime group. And we have to deal with them as such.”
Even amid all the domestic and international crises going on at the moment, it’s important that the American people and lawmakers not give up on putting pressure on this administration to beef up border security. The crisis at the Southwest border is about more than just the illegal immigration of tens of thousands of Central Americans—it’s about national security. Criminals, violent gang members, drug cartel members, and yes, terrorists, are also coming in and will continue to do so as long as this administration puts politics and political correctness ahead of security.

My apology Everyone ... Truth is there is no question (mark)
seriously it’s time to nuke mexico and all the g-d known (KNOWN) drug dealers’ compounds and hideouts.
"Mr. President, guess who is paying for Billys BJs?"
If there was another attack on American soil like the world trade certer old yellow streak mac daddy would first call lizard face interrupting her lunch of crickets and roaches and see what would want I’m to say,have weeks of meeting and do nothing.
He ould then go on vacation and golfing.
Its OK. When we’re attacked Americans will beg for more laws to restrict us.
The Islamic State can invade America as they did Iraq through our southern border. The sad truth is that Maliki tried to stop the invasion more than Obama.
Both are “A Clear And Present Danger.” Both should be “Sanctioned.”
Time to re-read Clear and Present Danger.
Don’t bother with the movie, stick with the book version.

I was just going to say it just hit me that the problem countries in the world all have one thing in common but then I remembered Russia/Ukraine and their current skirmishes...and Germany way back when.
The Ukraine is a money laundering and geographically ideal location for trafficking into EU.
It is the equivalent of Mexico to the US in terms of drug trafficking. Why do you think they are fighting over it.
Soros’ has his NGO’s everywhere setting up politicians beholden to him. No major drug trafficking takes place without government complicity. Putin wasn’t going to let go. They have a choice between a gangster boss, and decrepit sociopaths who will let them pretend to be free, and join the EU to serve their purposes.
The geezers behind Soros are a whole other story.
Good … now let’s do what needs to be done in Mexico too.
