“Proof Mexico is a Narco State.”

I’ve been watching the “Narcos” series on Netflix. This sounds exactly like an episode.

How does a Mexican “civilian” get a Browning .50 caliber machine gun? Must have come from the Mexican army.

Mexico should have dealt with the cartel decades ago. Now it is almost too late as the cartel is too entrenched. Those Mexican officials that are not working for the cartel are scared and don’t want their families slaughtered.

If El Chapo Jr. has his daddy’s ATM card then I guess we wasted a lot of time and expense convicting dear old dad.

This is where our troops need to be; along our southern border and assisting the Mexican govt in taking down the cartels. We need our military here in strength to do something worth doing for our country and our northern and southern American neighbors. Please Pres. Trump, pull all our troops out of the middle east, do not tell our soldiers to fight endless pointless wars, bring them home, let them save our American continents from these lawless gangs who are destroying our economies and our peoples.

If congress is so desperate for war, give them one that is worth fighting, one that benefits US!!!!

It seems that everywhere the powers behind the curtains are being exposed - the intelligence agencies/FBI/DOJ in the US, the cartels in Mexico (not to mention the banks and bankers worldwide).

Voting is a fraud, an illusion, a veneer over the system, to provide a plausible face of democracy, but in reality masks the underlying reality of who really wields the power.

The money and power are the major drivers in the world.

My only solution to the crime and corruption in Mexico is to legalize drugs. This would gut the economics of the cartels.

A Fast and Furious asset? Maybe we should ask Obozo.

Exactly why we need a militarized, fortified southern border NOW.

“The Sinaloa cartel had won, and the Mexican government had lost.”

Obrador should just ask the Donald to send a dozen DRONES to visit the various cartels mansions some Saturday nite....

Mexico is to legalize drugs. Failed. The states that legalized MJ found that cartel MJ is cheaper and so it remains a staple on the drug scene.

The political money train was threatened. Betting those police officer who were in that operation will be “Seal Team Sixed” within half a year.

No, Silly, they just buy Full Auto M2HBs at any US gun show?

That is what I keep hearing on the news, right?

I wonder how much Cartel money goes to Pelosi and Schumer to keep the borders open?

"Do those guys have a concealed carry permit for those guns?"

I believe that qualifies as open carry.
