"Personnel is policy", and blaming and finger-pointing is an excellent way to make personnel changes when you are not the appointive authority.

So she's going to fire Mexico and replace them with -- who?

But the who do we blame -- Mexico or the US? -- angle isn't worth much.

Might be worth an opium war. The policy problem you point at is one the U.S. has avoided (because of the influence of corrupt, drug-involved plutocrats and power-brokers Stateside), that can be crystallized as, "what do you do, when your neighboring state is run by narcoterrorists, people of ontological ugliness and ferocity?"

Both are to blame. The US for keeping an open border and providing sanctuary cities and passes for illegal aliens.

Mexico is to blame for the surge in heroin. Two different systems from Mexico bring in the drugs and create new users: the cartels selling brown heroin and the Nayarit, Mexico group pushing the horrific black tar heroin. Those from Nayarit are far more dangerous, have expanded to at least 17 states, recruit, including among children, in communities with no previous heroin problems.

One odd trait among the black tar heroin pushers is that they are under orders to sell only to whites, never to non-whites.
