Mexico’s president said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl, despite enormous evidence to the contrary.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared to depict the synthetic opioid epidemic largely as a U.S. problem, and said the United States should use family values to fight drug addiction.
His statement came during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis. It also comes amid calls by some U.S. Republicans to use the U.S. military to attack drug labs in Mexico.
The Mexican government has acknowledged in the past that fentanyl is produced at labs in Mexico using precursor chemicals imported from China. Fentanyl has been blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths per year in the United States.

Yes.
And that would actually help things on both sides of the border. The open border is funding the cartels’ reign of terror.
Well I am thiking that every 10 years,at re-assesstime, we may be able to reduce the zone down slightly and have decent mexicans repatriate it, but never give up 20-30 miles of the dmz ever, because we will want some of it for security and for military training of ground and air weapons.
Biden answered the cartels' prayers and his Afghanistan cluster**** likely convinced Putin that the time was right to invade Ukraine.
Do extensive checks of all traffic from Mexico.
Take as much time as you need.
Close the border completely if needed.
THEN it will be Mexico’s problem.
A Cuban friend of mine says that “Mexicans are a cross between an Aztec cannibal and a Spanish criminal.”
How high class.
Just build a wall, already.
While I’d love to see a wall and some actual border protection, the reality is that there is a market for illegal drugs in the US, a huge market. The market will always find a way to deliver the drugs to those that demand them.
Since much of this drug comes through Arizona & Texas, why doesn’t Texas made fentanyl trafficking a Capital Offense or Life Without Parole. I would suggest the same for Arizona, New Mexico and California but they are lost causes.
If we had any nationalist balls we would make this Mexico’s problem. If we can get the intel and get informants to squeal. We could send a few jet planes and waste some Cartel meth labs, fentanyl labs and pill factories with precision missiles.
Drones with missiles fly to Mexico and destroy Cartel head quarters residences and offices and people.
The Mexican President can do nothing at all about it.
The war is with the cartels, not the Mexican government. Unless that is, the Mexican government is the cartels
“we send planes and drones for live fire training and eliminate any people”
The nice thing about a wall is that it just stops people. You don’t have to chase them down, shoot them, etc. The wall is cheap and humane.
“Since much of this drug comes through Arizona & Texas, why doesn’t Texas made fentanyl trafficking a Capital Offense or Life Without Parole. I would suggest the same for Arizona, New Mexico and California but they are lost causes.”
We need to start sending drug dealers into exile on some prison Islands. Or ship them off to Rwanda into heavily fenced and guarded outdoor prison compounds. Paying Rwanda for this of course.
No, there should be no contact with the Mexican Government. The war is with the cartels.
The solution is both easy and inexpensive. There is ample precedent of using rocket armed dronesto takeout enemies with precision.
What is needed is a planned simultaneous drone assault on several, perhaps many cartel installations. The objective is to kill and destroy.
No mercy, no quarter.
The world? Let em’ bitch
Illegal aliens are his problem. He needs to stop dumping his sewage in the Rio Grande. America is not his septic tank!
Ignoring God is the American problem. The drugs are just one of the symptoms.
I think that Western Civilization, and the USA as part of it, are in an advanced state of decadence, which is in fact suicide.
Whether or not decadence can be reversed once it has afflicted a civilization is an unanswered question. Donald Trump believed that it could be. So convinced was he that he risked everything he had to save his beloved America from it. But the forces of decay are strong, and those profiting from it have done everything possible to destroy him, his family, his wealth, and his supporters and have certainly done everything they can to prevent the reversal of decadence. Thus, so far the decadence continues.
Open borders, the poisoning of America with drugs, the entire "woke" movement, the Biden and Obama Administrations, et al. are manifestations of decadence.
The American People can save themselves. No one else can.
If only Trinp had been reelected without crooks stealing the election.
It would be humane for the rest of society to wipe out the cartels in that 200 mi dmz zone. For us and the civil mexicans.
We would be afraid of the Mexican drug cartels using explosive kamikaze drones on us. Ya think?
