As of last year, the Taliban controlled or contested 46 percent of the districts in Afghanistan’s civil war. That was enough justification for us to keep our military perpetually engaged there in combat. What if you were told that 80 percent of Mexico’s territory is controlled by dangerous cartels, including all of the key smuggling routes at our border, and that the cartels are orchestrating all of the illegal immigration into our territory and bringing their members back and forth across our own border?
Several weeks ago, the Mexican investigative journal Contralínea posted a map of Mexico prepared by the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), showing that 80 percent of the country’s 266 districts recently targeted for enforcement by the Mexican National Guard in a new counter-cartel operation are either controlled (57.5 percent) or disputed (23.3 percent) by the cartels. “Only 53 (19.92 percent) enjoy a low level of violence, which means that control is exercised by the authorities,” reported Contralínea on May 4, citing the data on the color-coded map.

Maybe US should occupy and repatriate Mexicans home with our protection. Else be ready for them to claim asylum here?
We should just completely close the border.
Saw something like this in the series “Narcos Mexico”
Yes, the time has come.
Only 80%?
Tell me,
What the Cartels Don’t own.
“We should just completely close the border.”
We should create a militarized zone on the Mexican side of the border staffed with Mechanized American Military Forces, with orders to kill anyone with drugs, or assisting moving illegals across the zone toward our border.
Really, we should have invaded Mexico 50 years ago and installed a military government. The “Mexican Military” works for whomever is paying them at the moment.
War with Mexico or a militarized zone. Mexico is powerless or too corrupt to wage a nasty war with the Narcos.
“We should create a militarized zone on the Mexican side of the border staffed with Mechanized American Military Forces, with orders to kill anyone with drugs, or assisting moving illegals across the zone toward our border.”
Amen and Boom Shaka Lacka!
Not a nation but a collection of drug gangs with a flag and a UN seat.
Close the border.
Go in with troops and armed civvies two hundred miles dep and kill everything thats corrupt.
Take allthe ilegals back and dump them between 100-200 miles in.
Leave a 100 mile wide dmz betwen mexico and us and kill anyone found in there. Military has permanent new training and new weapons testing area forever.
Good luck with that! This “limp dick move” on the part of the Senate RINOs is the bellwether of what that would bring. Can you just see the CEOs of GM and Ford pi$$ing and moaning about the cars they build in Mexico not being able to be “imported?” And that's just for openers.
Mexican War II
Give them our Special Forces to use against the cartels..
Yeah it would be complicated. But those cartels are our fault, we supported them by using their drugs.
Kill them and split money found 80/20 with the Mexicans.
And do it at our expense.
I don’t doubt that 80% of the democrat party in the US is owned by the cartels as well.
Trump can now use this to declare a national emergency and get the border wall up much faster.
Mexican American War II
Trump can now use this admission to declare a national emergency at the border and get the wall built.
