We are going to eventually have to occupy Mexico, only a matter of when.
This Pope should mind hius business and stop pushing illegals over our borders-—he is an excellent example of Religion meddling in secular business along with his ‘one world religion’ baloney
Not if they occupy us first!
Yep, eventually they will have a bunch of our politicians in their pockets.
Yeah, people are fleeing basket case Mexico, while American corporate dummies are relocating there from America.
That's what's been happening - the various fortunes of the different cartels ebb and flow, but add up to an unceasing supply to meet the demand. The only way to take drug money away from the cartels is the way we took alcohol money away from the mob: relegalization.

Cocaine and other imported drugs were much more expensive when a tiny handful of cartels controlled the importation. If even a regular citizen American tried to smuggle they either killed him or they ratted him out to the US authorities. The cartel business model was like the nineteenth century trusts, who kept prices high by limiting supplies. Then the DEA and other agencies destroyed the cartels. That ended the cartel policing that prevented small operators. The DEA created the perfect business model. The street price of drugs plummeted. Now there are so many tiny but substantial importers there is no way to prevent even a large fraction of the drugs from entering the country. The DEA has created the mythical hydra, where two new heads pop up for every one chopped off. Obviously, we have lost the war on drugs. But drugs will never be legalized because that war has created a very wealthy constituency on both sides. Imagine the thousands of anti-drug agents who would be out of a job if drugs were legalized. Imagine the contractors who supply everything from logistics to hardware, to fire support; all out of a job. That is the problem with any government action. It creates a constituency that keeps it alive...perhaps even keeps it immortal.
