First some encouragement......
Send a drone and with rockets destroy at least two cartel palaces and perhaps even entire compound including women and children.
I mean, the country has fantastic coastal real estate, oil, and probably lots of other attributes.
Maybe we could make it a US protectorate or territory.
In the process, we could recoup all the taxes lost by illegal workers, and could stop dead the fentanyl plague.
Not to mention stopping the invasion of all the bad actors from other countries.
