Yes. We need to wipe out all the cartels. Then build a wall on Mexico's borders. I would rather us fight war at home than the middle east. It would stop "migrants" from flocking to the U.S. and that would be wonderful.

If mobsters and gang members were treated as *********s, their numbers would absolutely plummet. People would simply be too afraid to join. However i'm not sure it's;
A) Ethical to treat people trapped in a system they can't really get out of as the worst kinds of human beings
B) Going to be perceived as an entirely racist actComment

Only if the Mexican government asks for help, and if they do then yes, the USA should send in the A squad to help clean up whatever needs to be cleaned up. Mexico is our neighbor and there is a certain duty or obligation to help them, not to mention if we did and helped make Mexico developed then we can finally open the borders the right way.Comment

No.
Mexico's birth rate has stabilized. There are budding tech/entrepreneur scenes in Mexico.
The best thing the US can do for Mexico is lock down the border. The cartels exist via the US drug trade aka weak US borders.
There is nothing else about Mexico preventing it from being a relatively stable country.
That's it. The border is the variable.
It's not some sub-Saharan crapfest with a birthrate of 8 children per women and rampant HIV, beliefs in witchcraft, etc. The overall metrics are fine once you subtract factors driven by the cartels (organized homicide, drug addiction, human smuggling).
It's a mostly developed nation teetering on falling backwards because of how rich the cartels got from US open-border policies.Last edited by ////; 11-06-2019, 01:23 AM.Comment

Legalize all drugs, tax and regulate the industry.
Build a secure border, control immigration.
Its a win / win - more money and a much safer country.Comment

Can't argue with this!Originally posted by alexguiness View Post
People are naive about "shutting down" things...Like we can just shut down some operation.
What you propose is how the mob was wiped out in this country. It was a legal strategy that took apart the Mafia in this country not a shot fired. R.I.C.O which was at the time an obscure law on the books was used to jack up sentences and to get those at the top of the prymid. It took very little time to make it so mob guys who had a bevy of lawyers, were reduced to using public defenders.
The Mexican government cannot match the fire power of the cartels... Instead of going into fire fights, keep the border right, legalize and tax...I agree with this.Comment

Correct - people wanting and taking drugs is not the real issue that society faces - the real issue is the abhorrent, ultra violence that the drug cartels use to control the industry. Weird how some folk are convinced that drugs are total evil, but the people supplying them are some kind of cultural anti-hero's (Escobar, El Chapo etc). I'm perfectly fine with people who choose to use drugs, its the violence and misery that comes hand in hand with the supply that I don't need.Originally posted by billeau2 View PostComment
