Escorted by heavily armed soldiers, a Mexican farmer returns to his ransacked ranch house near the front line of a war between drug cartels, whose acronyms are scrawled on bullet-pocked walls.
Recently recaptured by the security forces, Palmas Altas in the northern state of Zacatecas is now a ghost town, apart from a few well-fed dogs walking under a blazing sun.
A burnt-out pickup truck is left abandoned at the entrance to the village, which sits on an arid plateau at the foot of mountains.
Graffiti signed "CJNG" warns that the area is under the control of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, whose leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera is one of the United States' most-wanted fugitives, with a $10 million bounty on his head.
"He is the number one priority for DEA and frankly for federal law enforcement in the United States," DEA agent Matthew Donahue told CBS News in 2019.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why the U.S. never occupied Messy-co until the corruption, cartels and drugs were squashed. We go halfway round the world spoilin for a fight when we have a cesspool just South of us.
Or is, more than likely, lets pack our bags and head north where all you have to do, Maria, is pop out a kid in a US hospital and we’re in America forever.
“For the life of me, I cannot understand why the U.S. never occupied Messy-co until the corruption, cartels and drugs were squashed.”
Because we’d own the problem in perpetuity.
Culture matters.

I guess if we were really serious about the cartels we could use drones. But then they could too. I think it’s coming.
A-10 ‘Warthogs’ to the border...STAT!
Mexico imports plenty of democrat voters. Plus, think of the budget padding for lawn enforcement to keep the “war on drugs” going.
It’s already happening.
There’s a **** storm coming on the southern border. An army is on the March and no one is doing a damned thing about it.

We could loan Mexico a squadron of A10s and wipe out this problem in 1 or 2 days.

Right?
The war on drugs is a huge farce. Billions pumped into a global slush fund.
Reason enough to invade Mexico, the dangerous Narco State that keeps sending their less-than-best to illegally colonize America. Set up a 100 mile buffer zone. Patrolled by military rather than DHS. Establish emBASEees, all along the perimeter. Intercept the illegal colonizers, dump them on the other side of the bufferzone in Mehico
We can’t get our own cities under control.
>>We can’t get our own cities under control.<<
Boy isn’t that the truth and getting worse.
“...loan Mexico a squadron of A10’s...”
-
You must not realize that they all are participants in the corruption.
All of them.
The government and the military.
From the top down.
“We could loan Mexico a squadron of A10s….”
They’d be stolen in less than a week.

Culture matters.

Not to people who have been allowing them to colonize our country for 30 years.
In fact, they have been intentionally changing the demographics of our country against the will of the citizens.
If we loaned them A-10s, they would be parted out in less than 2 days.
