From the comments, by Kamau41:
Donald Trump discusses the Mexican Drug Cartel. Here's what he says how we need to deal with them; **we need to treat the drug cartels as though they are an enemy army.**
Stopping the drug flow here will do a lot to stop this . Trump has addressed this , but no other candidates have ..they don’t want to displease their open-borders masters ...
An enemy army armed by Obama by Fast and Furious. I wonder how much Mexican blood is on his hands.
Cruz has, and has even worked on the problem. Not just talked about it.
The cartel are about as vile as ISIS yet no one seems to want to take them out. Trump is right, they are an enemy army, and they are right at our back door. Yet we spend our money and human capital fighting halfway around the world.
Cruz is done ..he can’t win, even if he won the primary ..it’s over for him
several thousand gallons worth, I’d imagine.
Carrier executives please note.
“An enemy army armed by Obama by Fast and Furious.”....
I don’t think many really know the scope of Fast and Furious. Could be MUCH larger than known publicly. And so could the unseen damage....
How many air conditioners will have instead of freon a narcotic in the sealed system?
Yes, I do not know if I would want to live in Monterey.
[The investigation was launched.] So glad I don’t have the job of researching evil deeds on a massive scale.
Donald Trump, build that wall, and electrify it.
Maybe the Pope can hold a memorial service for them instead of coming across our southern border with another hoard of illegals.
Agree. Death toll in Mexico's drug war according to Wiki =>

`When writing about murder, the author should address three items; motive, means and opportunity. Means was discussed at length. Opportunity, kidnapping, was touched on. Conspicuously absent was motive. I suspect this is for a reason. The author is trying to convince the reader that the regular law-abiding citizens are the targets. This would generate sympathy and money via US government action.
Consider the discussion of means. This is a huge, almost industrial effort. Industry is conducted for profit, not revenge or pleasure. Can you imagine an industry of picking people out of the population at random for processing? That would be an absurd waste of resources, which, by description are comprehensive and expensive. What possible motive could somebody have to pay for this processing? It is most likely that the people killed worked for rival drug gangs. They are not, as implied by the article, ordinary law-abiding citizens.
Yes, the acts are reprehensible. But the American government and by extension, the American taxpayer, need to carefully pick the battles we engage in. What if we stepped in and shut down the cartel behind the murders? What would be the result? It seems to me the resulting vacuum would be filled by the rival cartel and the same cycle would begin anew. What then did we invest our capital to achieve?
Maybe the Pope can go stand in front of one of the cartel’s compounds instead of the border.
Nahhh. Wouldn’t be prudent.
Good analysis, FRiend.
Good thing not many Mexicans have guns or the gangsters might have had some casualties.
Our borders are completely open to them.
