There are warehouse meth labs in Mexico that are very professionally operated, as if they were legal and they produce quantities of meth that would boggle the mind.
Many scoff about drugs crossing this border, believing it is only marijuana and media and politicians go along with that. Nothing to see here, just a little harmless pot. The truth is all sorts of drugs are pouring across this border. It is unreal.
Recently mules were caught with bundles of marijuana, happens every day...no big deal until marijuana bundles were examined, turns out some of them were filled with meth, on the order of a pinata full of candy. It was not packaged that way to fool BP, they are going after it anyway. It was packaged that way to fool the mules who believed they were bringing only marijuana across the border. If the mules had known the meth was inside they would have known the task was more dangerous (rival smugglers possible hijack) and they would have known the value was far more- they would have wanted far more money to do the task.
The Cartels are very diversified, not only in drugs but human trafficking for labor and prostitution. They engage in kidnapping, murder, you name it they are involved. They have had a free rein with little resistance from this country and are now entrenched.
The BP and other LEOs are now trying to take back the land that was pretty much abandoned to Cartels on the border- an average of 50 miles of the U.S. (at least as far as law enforcement) and it will be a battle to take it back. I truly expect there will be gun battles before this is reclaimed.
We know where they live and play.
Would perhaps a delivery of a few (dozen!!!) Hellfires from a few Reapers will convince them to seek other lines of employment?
Thank GOD we now have a Commander in Chief who supports BP and LEO.
