Trump has apparently brought peace to cartel-wracked northern Mexico.
So President Trump has closed the border to illegal immigration, declining to accept asylum applications from illegal border crossers, shutting down the USAID spigots to NGOs fueling the migrant pipeline, reading Mexico the Riot Act on its free trade privileges and rapidly repatriating those who attempt to enter illegally.
The daily number of illegal border crossings has gone to the low hundreds, according to the Border Patrol.
And just like that, the brutal cartel violence in northern Mexico is gone.
According to this local from Tijuana:
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes Mexico citizen reporting
- The Cartel presence has disappeared in border city Tijuana, Mexico - People aren’t being trafficked anymore - The Cartel isn’t there to charge businesses to operate - Residents aren’t having their money stolen - Cartel members have even been killed - Residents in Tijuana are now very happy
In just a month Donald Trump has even saved Tijuana
No car burnings. No blocked roads. No machine-gun shootouts. No bodies splattered across the pavements and in residential doorways. No shakedowns. No innocent Mexican citizens chased across the border into the U.S. as cartels burn their homes down. No kidnappings of Mexican kids to 'serve' as human trafficking subjects up north.
It's quite likely the Mexican government is doing at least some of what President Trump asked, for -- permitting surveillance flights from the U.S. on cartels, accepting and sharing intelligence on their activities, allowing the Green Berets to train elite Mexican naval troops, the only ones both sides trust as not tainted with drug cash, to swoop down on them, which based on news reports, seems to be happening.

I despise these "libertines."
That is what the resident who was interviewed stated
The big money was in selling American citizenship... without that cartels don’t have much. Plus our military would have so much fun taking them out.
