I think it was on FR that I saw that the Marxist Mexican president has basically ended the war against the cartels. This is all adding up to bad things coming our way. If Mexico turns into a Venezuela, look out.
What is needed is for a state, preferably a border state, to declare war on Mexico and force the federal govt to act. Then Pres. Trump can do what needs to be done to secure the border, and send in the military to destroy the cartels as well. The states, just like the congress, have the constitutional authority to declare war.
If that happens, mexico would be easy for us to invade and conquer.
Getting rid of a half dozen drug cartels is step one, while stationing really armed military on the border and closing it tighter than a drum.
No imports to the US and no money going from the US back to mexico.
Dry up trade and US cash and Mexico would be screaming uncle in English as well as Spanish.
