Graham says he will introduce bill to ‘set the stage’ for US to use military force in Mexico
The Hill ^ | 03-07-2023 | Brad Dress

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday said he was prepared to introduce legislation to “set the stage” for U.S. military force in Mexico, saying it was time to “get tough” on the neighboring country after four Americans were kidnapped by armed men this week.

Graham told Fox News host Jesse Watters that he would follow the advice of former President Trump on Mexico policy.

“I would put Mexico on notice,” Graham said. “If you continue to give safe haven to drug dealers, then you are an enemy of the United States.”

Graham added he would “introduce legislation to make certain Mexican drug cartels foreign terrorist organizations under U.S. law and set the stage to use military force if necessary.”

“I would tell the Mexican government if you don’t clean up your act, we’re going to clean it up for you,” the senator said.

It was unclear what type of legislation the GOP lawmaker was suggesting. The Hill has reached out to Graham’s office for clarification.

Maintenance ask what’s wrong with Linda, ask what’s wrong with the voters of South Carolina and why they continue to send her, Scott and Mace back to DC

To be honest, if negotiations with the Mexican government
were convened, and they gave us permission to eradicate
their cartels, it might not be a bad thing.

If Mexico wouldn’t sign on, I’d advise against it. We
don’t want them thinking the U. S. just took over, and
then resenting it and looking for a ‘friendly’ nation
from overseas.

The US military can clean out Mexico in a week or less. It’s a disgrace this has been allowed to go on for this long. It will be 100% in our own interest.

Yeah completely empty and useless effort when the border is wide open.

Stupid idea. Like every war in the past 75 years we will crush them at the outset but eventually we will tire of it and quit. Then the cartels will recover and come back worse than ever. The best way is to declare the cartels terrorists, close the border, arrest, prosecute, or deport all who are here, and force Mexico to clean up their side.

There is only one small problem with Linseed "McCain's" plan ...

December 8, 2011
Dear Representative Gardner:
Dear Senator Udall:
Dear Senator Bennet:

Let's call Fast and Furious, Castaway, "Grenade Walker" and "Cash Walker" what they are. State-sponsored terrorism.

On this side of the border they are violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it is state-sponsored terrorism.

What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within foreign countries wherein those countries are in a death struggle with those syndicates?

Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?

Not to mention the just-revealed news that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.

Let's not leave out the FBI and DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.

It is organized, it is spread throughout every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned by Congress. (that I know of) It is the Federal government acting like mafioso.

Pres. Obama, AG Eric Holder and Sec. State Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is unquestionably state-sponsored terrorism by the definition used to define states like Iran and North Korea.

PS: if you think I am wrong or exaggerating any of this I will be glad to bring you up to speed with very well sourced articles, legal depositions (publically available) and other public information that verifies every word I have said.

Either you are with these criminals or you are with U.S. I implore you to get informed, get involved and act or get run over by this. This lawless scandal is not going away.

Sincerely,

Mr. (TigersEye)
Address
Town, State, Zip

----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a petition to call for Eric Holder's prosecution.
Tea Party Petition to Prosecute Eric Holder

After signing the petition you will get an automatic way to send an e-mail to your Congressman and Senators. You can use their text or fill in your own.

I strongly encourage all FReepers to sign that petition and to send their own thoughts about this to their Congress critters. Let them know that you are aware of this issue and that you are not going to forget about it. Let them know you will be watching to see what they do about it.

Think I heard back from any of them?

0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These criminal thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.

I’d be happy if the gummint would use military force just a few yards NORTH of Mexico!

Where are we going to get weapons and ammo, FJB gave it all to Afghanistan and Ukraine, last I read. And girly men to afraid to fight. When Trump took over only 10% were Frontline ready. It will be less now, all those on hormones can’t serve on the Frontline.
