As of last year, the Taliban controlled or contested 46 percent of the districts in Afghanistans 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 Mexicos 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 countrys 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.

Probably 80% of the elected and appointed officials of U.S. border states and counties are paid off by the cartels too.
As a US territory? Can we evict the Mexicans to do so? Otherwise, take the resources to pay for the cost of the Mexican invasion and cost of deporting all Mexicans back home.
Absolutetly. Deploy troops and close the border, declare it closed until the wall is built. Open sections under strict control where there is an effective wall.
If the government admits to this, then they are not the government.
The cartels own 100% of the Democrat Party and probably 50% of the Republican. That explains everyone’s behavior.
Give who our Special Forces? The Mexican military is corrupt, their forces help smugglers. When you understand the power of the cartels you will realize who really runs the government of Mexico. So if we send our Special Forces down there we would be turning them over to the cartels.
That is more than complicated.
The real question is how much of the United States is controlled by the cartels?
The cartels gained their power in Mexico with bribery and murder. Why would anyone believe they are not doing the same here? I can think of some people in power in this country that certainly act like they are owned by the cartel.
As far as the border, the cartels own the Mexican side and control who and what enters where. If we don’t control our side I firmly believe they will.
I am conflicted as to how many in D.C. are. I think it is a number I don’t really want to know.
Declare war, Mr President.
Well prayer is a good thing, but it’s by no means the total solution. You can’t simply sit back and essentially say “God will provide!” We have the problem with Mexico because year after year, our government has chosen to ignore it. That’s not God’s problem, it’s ours. Asking Him to “fix” what’s wrong with Mexico without expending the heroic effort it’s going to take on our part to remedy the situation, makes about as much sense as if you “prayed” for the Germans to quit their world conquest. Do you really think that simply praying would have obviated the need for the Normandy Invasion? Surely it would have been better just to pray than to send 450,000 of our young men to Europe and Japan to die would it not? I’m sorry, but while you can pray for guidance, to suggest that we pray and “leave it up to God” isn’t realistic in my view.
there is nothing we can do, the big money lobbiests own congress and we have a socialist controlled house .
Trump is all we got
The Catholics went south.
Mexico is the drug infested mess created by the loser Popes.
The reformed Protestants in the U.S. created greatness instead.
And a lot of RINOs as well. These people are making a lot of money I imagine. That’s why they protest so much about a border wall.
Is cartel money finding its way into the pockets of GOP senators? Just asking.
Probably 80% of the elected and appointed officials of U.S. border states and counties are paid off by the cartels too.”
But not Cruz! He just ACTS like he’s been paid off.
“I dont doubt that 80% of the democrat party in the US is owned by the cartels as well.”
What about the Republicans? You’re a sheeple if you buy the lie that the GOP is on your side. Tonight they’re threatening Trump over the Mexican tariffs. THE GOP is threatening him. Understand that? The GOP. Stop blaming the Democrats for everything, as if the GOP isn’t right there beside them on open borders. Don’t be a sheeple.
And a lot of RINOs as well.”
The Republican establishment is for open borders. These aren’t RINOs, they’re the core and guts and leaders of the party. Trump is the outlier - he’s the RINO. The Republican party is not your friend. Wake up to that fact, don’t be a sheeple.
With respect, the Republican senators aren’t blind, and aren’t spineless. Their eyes are open, they know what they’re doing, and they are willing to fight us all to achieve their goal. They support open borders, and they are standing strong for that destructive policy.
They are energetic enemies of average Americans. Strong-spined warriors for the cheap-labor lobby.
