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.

The best use of our military since 1941.
good thing we didn’t build that wall then...
that would have slowed us down.
“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.”
Linda’s a real bad ass ain’t he? SMH
I would argue that no legislative action is actually necessary to set the stage.
The DEA knows all about the criminal Cartels. Simultaneous attack by rocket armed drones on two or three cartel headquarters can be accomplished easily, quickly and cheaply.
The Biden administration can not act because it is on the cartel payroll
Why now? Hasn’t he been in government forever?
CLOSE THE BORDER!
NOW!
‘Linda’ is proposing this? Wow.
We’ve pushed Russia and China into an alliance. Why not add Mexico to it as well?
Remember when all those neocon trolls on FR laughed at the comparison of NATO mucking around in Ukraine, to a Chinese-Russian military alliance arming Mexico and having bases on our southern border?
Perhaps it will happen sooner than we ever imagined.
Don't do it! Maintain sovereignty and don't take the pandering flavored bait.
Insanity.
Which is apt since we would be fighting in Mexico until 2041.
So THAT’S the way the wind is blowing this morning Lindsay-girl?
Call for ‘an investigation’. that’ll fix ‘er
Hey Linda, good girls go to Heaven. Bad girls go RINO/Deep State!
Another Linda ping, please.
Close the border. Build the wall. It will be much cheaper than another endless guerilla war.

Build the border wall. Make a permanent place in the federal budget for active patrols and watch towers along the border wall. But of course that wouldn’t satisfy the pathological need of people like Graham and Cheney to see American soldiers getting maimed and killed.
Or, as we don't seem to have a border, let's just annex Mexico, occupy it and clean it up--send the Mexicans to Japan since they are whining about running out of people in their crowded cities. Or conscript them to help Ukraine in trade for citizenship there, should they live through the experience.
It would be much easier to hire some of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s hit men and let the do the job.
Of course, US Special force could take out the Mexican Cartels, I would caution about how the Cartels would respond, it’s something that should be considered.
You constantly hear about the amount of Fentanyl coming across the border capable of killing millions of people. What if the Cartel upped the potency of the Fentanyl to 4-5x of it’s current levels, instead of 100,000 dead per year, it might be 400,000 per year, what if the Cartels dumped huge amounts of Fentanyl into the water supply of a major city and killed 1,000,000 people.
Yes, militarily, we can annihilate the current cartels, new ones would certainly take their place, closing the border and making it nearly impossible to get across, it seems to me, to be a better solution than getting involved in another potential war.
