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.

Because we’d own the problem in perpetuity.

Culture matters.

Mexico imports plenty of democrat voters. Plus, think of the budget padding for lawn enforcement to keep the “war on drugs” going.

We can’t get our own cities under control.

For the same reason virtually all recent Presidents issue drug related pardons during their last days in office, or why we didn't eliminate the poppy fields when invading Afghanistan.

Iillicit drugs are a multi-national enterprise that is "too big to fail'.

You serious? are you the only person here that doesn't know that We Own the Cartels? We created them, we employ them, they work for US!! Millions of Government Employee's depend on their business, you can NOT have a War on Drugs without Drugs, and there is No Way in Hell we are giving up this cash cow. Why do you think they really Hated Trump? The wall directly Threatens the very existence of the War on Drugs(Americans)

Robust testing ground, is what it is

[Georgia Girl 2]

I totally agree. I have said for years that one of these days we are going to have to go in there and clean those cartels out. If you have never seen the movie “Sicario” its a must watch.
