MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico wants an urgent investigation into how U.S. military-grade weapons are increasingly being found in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, Mexico’s top diplomat said Monday.
Mexico’s army is finding belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers and grenades that are not sold for civilian use in the United States.
“The (Mexican) Defense Department has warned the United States about weapons entering Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the U.S. army,” Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said. “It is very urgent that an investigation into this be carried out.”

Mexico needs to investigate it themselves. Stop passing the buck.
Gee remember Fast and Furious? Think it’s not continuing? Remember Newsom’s first order of business as a governor was to head off to Mexico?
Any reason we have a very open border? Who looks the other way?
Most of those are useless without proper maintenance and spare parts.
Exactly. One cargo ship, flagged from a neutral Middle East country, could have supplied the entire Mexican cartel armies for decades, through South America.
You might be right about the aircraft and some of the vehicles, but we probably left stockpiles of spare parts, technical manuals, and ammunition behind too.
With more than half a million machine guns, assault rifles, and hand guns left behind, are you saying they are useless now?
Mexico is Commiting an act of war against us, by facilitating invasion
In the dead of night, an American drone laden with rockets should attack and destroy the compounds of Cartel bosses. The destruction must include all that are present including Non innocent women and children
It’s easy, cheap and quick. The uproar will die down. The cartel lawyers should be permanently detained.
Two words: Biden and Afghanistan.
Tough guy making veiled threats needs a prison stay with hard labor, then sending his ass back with a note stapled to his forehead stating he will be shot on site if he comes back again.
No one takes the border seriously. No brains or balls. Too many fem DIE types trying to gain by putting the safety, culture and future of America in jeopardy.
Suck it Mexico. Bad stuff crossing the border works both ways.
technical manuals
—
Perhaps technical manuals will be useless, considering that most tribal Afghanis have trouble grasping the difference between left and right, to say nothing of being able to read or read English.
Millions of machine guns, assault rifles, RPGs, and hand guns are available worldwide from arms dealers. The only difference is they got them free.
Leaving behind stockpiles of spare parts is not a fact, but an assumption.
"Mexico's army" is likely the source of a lot of them...
bttt
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
How long before the cartels take over all of Mexico. They are rich enough. When they do, they will side with China/Russia/Iran Axis.
Most of what you say are assumptions.
Here are countless videos of Afghani tribal types not being able to count, know left from right, read.
So my ‘assumptions’ have a foundation. Yours?
That is the very first thing I thought too.
We ship these weapons to Ukraine. They keep some of them and sell some of them. Who is going to know until they show up in Mexico or Gaza, etc.
And people ask what business the Biden family had that they all became multimillionaires.
