MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico wants an urgent investigation into how U.S. military-grade weapons are increasingly being found in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, Mexico’s top diplomat said Monday.

Mexico’s army is finding belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers and grenades that are not sold for civilian use in the United States.

“The (Mexican) Defense Department has warned the United States about weapons entering Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the U.S. army,” Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said. “It is very urgent that an investigation into this be carried out.”

I would not be surprised if a nominally US organization is keeping their business partners well armed. But they're probably not flying out of Mena, Arkansas these days.

The bigger question-are we going to find these being used against American citizens, given the intentional lack of a border. Monsters such as those eventually tend to turn on their creators at some point.

Probably these weapons are making their way back from Ukraine.

More likely that these are either weapons left behind in Afghanistan, or shipped to Ukraine.

They have serial numbers, the US should know the history. We the people haven’t heard crickets because all of the answers: domestic, Afghanistan, Ukraine, embarrassing for Biden.

Meanwhile, the gun-grabbers in the US are fulminating about 11 round magazines and semi-autos...

Woe to the blacks and their poverty pimp mentality when the Mexican cartels take over America.

The puppet master Obama brought those millions of illegals into the US.

Soon, living in America will be worse than in Haiti. The gangsters are here now. Embrace the suck, ghetto blasters.

Lets see, $300 billion of Military equipment left in Afghanistan,

Just saying.

Could be or perhaps and more likely sold by taliban from xidens goodwill gesture, regardless cartels might be less of a problem if mexico wasn’t wholly owned by the cartels.

Remember the marine jailed for mistakenly crossing Mexican border, boy they were tough then, but some how millions can walk through mexico to US, and crickets

Humm$$$$$$
