It isn’t just Texas that has to protect itself from the Mexican drug cartels. For instance, Chicago and its environs are infested with the Mexican drug cartels and their influences.
I think the Mexican cartels are paying a lot of “rent” to the right people in Chicago and many American cities.
Well the Chicago folks buy all the drugs. They are encouraging the cartels to operate here. Remember, it’s the LW that wants the drugs made legal. They “claim” is wi increases tax revenues. Where it will do is increase the flow of drugs from Mexico
