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.

Mexico is not a country but a third world crap hole run by thugs. Any American who goes there is a fool.
The “Mexican Military” works for whomever is paying them at the moment.
“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.”
And cut off the ability to “send money from the US to Mexico!” Or at least tax in at 50% or more. Allowing illegals to send money home is perhaps the biggest inducement to more coming here. Because of the criminals in and out of government in Mexico, it really isn’t a country anyway. I want to puke when I hear this Mexican Government BS about “protecting Mexicans in America from the American Government!”
There is power in prayer. Let’s ask God Almighty to deal with the cartels...in His own way.
His hand can reach down strongly where humans are not able.
“Mexican American War II”
Yes, unless the Mexican Government totally capitulates, sooner is better than later.
“I don’t doubt that 80% of the democrat party in the US is owned by the cartels as well.”
And at least 80% of the Republican Party is owned by the US Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable and the large multi-national corporations. I will bet you McConnell has to wipe the brown off of his lips after a meeting with Tom Donohue.
“Let’s ask God Almighty to deal with the cartels...in His own way.”
Sorry, but I think God expects us to deal with these situations ourselves.
Rise the tariffs! Close the the border!
Every damned ‘Republican’ defying Trump on the border issue is a blind, spineless traitor!
This would be a civil war if Mexico was not bordering the United States.
we have social media... who are they?
We should invade and and commandeer their natural resources.....rebuild the country as a US territory.
“Mexico is not a country but a third world crap hole run by thugs. Any American who goes there is a fool.”
No worse than Southern California.
Yup, exactly.
We went after Noriega for less than is happening in Mexico.
If the border were closed, autos could still be shipped from a port in Mexico to any port in the U.S. After all, Japan, Germany and South Korea do just fine with that option.
And 80% of Democrat politicians at the Federal, state and local levels in the border states are run by Mexican drug cartels...
“What if you were told that 80 percent of Democrat politicians in the US border states are controlled by dangerous drug cartels?”
Well, it’s always nice to see the folks last to know speak up.
He expects us to deal with it...with His help!
Have you forgotten George Washington’s prayer? King David’s many prayers for help against his enemies?
Jesus Himself said pray for our enemies, bless them that curse you. So we are always to pray to God in every situation.
I’m tired of the cartels terrorizing Mexicans. I pray the Lord will do something, whatever He sees fit to do. He can use the U.S., or use the Mexican citizens, or anyone else. I just pray He does something.
Shouldn’t that deserve a US military response for the mass invasion currently being perpetrated upon the US as well as the drug and human trafficking at the hands of the criminal cartels and the criminals running the Mexican government? As it currently stands, the US is losing this issue. Maybe too many in the US Congress are still getting cartel money per their treasonous agreement to keep the border open. Just my opinion.
