Only about 1% of US heroin comes from Afghanistan through Canada.

Nearly all our heroin is grown and processed in Mexico.

Would you recommend the same treatment to Mexico?

If the circumstances were the same as in Afghanistan, yes. I.e. If United States had been invited into the country by the government, and was sanctioned by the government to engage in a war on terrorism; the financing of terrorism; and those structures, facilities and resources directly associated with it and the terrorists ultimate goal of "destroying the lives of infidels, and their countries from within" by any means possible so that they can be conquered for Islam; including flooding said countries with heroin. Then yes, absolutely. However, you know the circumstances between the two countries are not the same.

That said, were the Mexican government fundamentally change from being a belligerent narco state. End its government sanctioned support for the narcotics; hostilities against the United States and actively seek to destroy the narcotics industry and request our advice, logistics aid and support to do so then I would absolutely give them the exact same plan for dealing with the heroine industry within their country.

The Mexican government, military and law enforcement alone would be involved with carrying out "the plan" to eradicate the heroine business within their border.

Unfortunately, the above scenario is highly unlikely. Hence another overwhelming reason and need to "build the wall".
