Here’s my plan.
1) Seal the border.
2) Cartels can’t get their drugs through to the US.
3) Cartels recognize the real issue.
4) Cartels take care of the Central American invaders.
5) Return to business as usual.
Compelling argument. Rings true. We just have to stop the invaders from breaching our border which is what I’m focused on.
Then the economic pressure on Cartels takes over as you suggest.
