Ping to my last.
For a while there the Taliban actively discouraged poppy growing. Then they changed their minds when they got hold of a steady source of financing.
"Personnel is policy", and blaming and finger-pointing is an excellent way to make personnel changes when you are not the appointive authority.
Phlegmatic appointers and other managers, and ignorant voters who elected the wrong guy, need to be motivated by "heat" to make necessary changes.
So she's going to fire Mexico and replace them with -- who?
If the idea is that it's the leaky border that makes for drug problems and we need to replace the politicians who made or left the border porous -- fine.
But the who do we blame -- Mexico or the US? -- angle isn't worth much.
Actually, it's entrepreneurial employers of low-wage, unskilled labor. Perry of Perry Home, Butts(es) of H.E.B. grocery-chain (they're the "B"), Don Tyson the chicken magnate, and many similar self-made men do it like they want to (I think it's part of their entrepreneurial makeup, to despise laws and democracy -- take note, Trump supporters) when it comes to keeping their labor costs low.
The aforementioned people are active and generous members in good standing of the "donor class" who support Republican politicians. Their influence on GOP politics has been, until this year, decisive, and it may yet prevail over us lowly "insurrectionists", allied as it is with the giant vampire squids of Wall Street (Goldman Sachs & co-predators).
Might be worth an opium war. The policy problem you point at is one the U.S. has avoided (because of the influence of corrupt, drug-involved plutocrats and power-brokers Stateside), that can be crystallized as, "what do you do, when your neighboring state is run by narcoterrorists, people of ontological ugliness and ferocity?"
Mexico is to blame for the surge in heroin. Two different systems from Mexico bring in the drugs and create new users: the cartels selling brown heroin and the Nayarit, Mexico group pushing the horrific black tar heroin. Those from Nayarit are far more dangerous, have expanded to at least 17 states, recruit, including among children, in communities with no previous heroin problems.
One odd trait among the black tar heroin pushers is that they are under orders to sell only to whites, never to non-whites.
I’d like to hit her on the head though. She’s lost whatever shred of credibility she was still clinging too with her jihad against Cruz.
But that is ok.
Silliness should not be restricted to Fridays.
Google is your friend.
