A couple of massive airstrikes on some cartel locations would be good. Just do it for chits and giggles.
International borders and soverenty matters not when we are killing bad guys!
Its called a "War on Drugs" for a reason.
You haven't thought this through. You think the cartels wouldn't retaliate? Unless the US is willing to actually go to war with Cartelico*, then this would just be a pointless start of a series of strikes and counterstrikes. The US doesn't have to will to enter a long protracted and messy (meaning lots of casualties) war with the cartels. Can you imagine snowflakes who demand "safe spaces" to protect their delicate sensibilities from opinions they don't want to hear actually in armed combat? I can't.
*Cartelico - formerly known as Mexico where ruthless and well armed criminal gangs have infiltrated every level of government through bribes and intimidation. The cartels run the former country of Mexico.

So many cartels, so little time. We’d have to fry every inch of soil from the Mexican border to the Pampas to make a dent. And the cost of the overtime would break the budget.
