The strong armed tactics against Mexico are not making officials happy south of the border. Now, with an executive order facilitating the deportation of illegal immigrants – and especially those who have committed criminal offenses – as well as building a wall on the border, President Trump has many Mexicans up in arms. Jorge Castañeda Gutman, former Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Mexico, took things a step further during an interview on CNN with Fareed Zakaria when he suggested that Mexico’s previous cooperation with the U.S. in curbing the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants could end. Instead, the cartels could be essentially unleashed upon the U.S. – retribution for tough policies on Mexico and other immigrant-producing countries in the Latin American world. These astonishing words could open up an economic gang war against the U.S. – very irresponsible words that reveal just how connected Mexico’s leadership is with the violent drug cartels who operate from their territories: "Mexico has a lot of negotiating chips in this matter, Fareed, but it also has measures we could take in other areas. For example, the drugs that come through Mexico from South America, or the drugs that are produced here in Mexico all go to the United States. This is not our problem. We have been cooperating with the United States for many years on these issues because they’ve asked us to and because we have a friendly, trustful relationship. If that relationship disappears, the reasons for cooperation also disappear." The implications are astoundingly clear – Mexico would consider exporting chaos and violence into the United States as a form of payback for immigration restrictions and controls against the instability that the southern border has brought to the country for decades. Out of bitterness or desperation, or a mix of both, Mexico’s finest would apparently weaponize their most brutal elements and deliberately send them North to sow chaos – only proving the reasons for controlling the border and reigning in the deterioration of the U.S. standard of living that has been going on for such a long time now. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-...ombat-president-trump-unleashing-drug-cartels
Trump will put the 82d Airborne Division on the border. Lets see how drug gangs deal with that shit. We might need to control a big slice of mexico as a buffer zone. They will have to pay us for the expense though.
About time they stopped subsidizing America's drug on wars. Tough economic times ahead for our neighbors down there, don't see why the government shouldn't look to trim the federal budget towards the drug war. I'd take it a step further and just legalize everything like Portugal did, not like the citizenry has a big addiction problem down there anyway.
Trump threatened to send in the troops to Mexico to wipe out the cartels. Unsure of the timing. If it was after this ahole piped up, that would be quite funny. Mexico ain't gunna do shit. They send in the cartels, Trump sends in the military. Like AAA said lmao jokes these assholes have no idea whats coming
Now Trump is acting and we can now really watch the various aspects of the issue. Clearly Mexico is implying that it is a narcotic state - exactly what Duterte in the Philippines tried to avoid.
Trump to Mexico: Take care of 'bad hombres' or US might WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump threatened in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press. The excerpt of the call did not detail who exactly Trump considered "bad hombres," nor did it make clear the tone and context of the remark, made in a Friday morning phone call between the leaders. It also did not contain Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's response. Still, the excerpt offers a rare and striking look at how the new president is conducting diplomacy behind closed doors. Trump's remarks suggest he is using the same tough and blunt talk with world leaders that he used to rally crowds on the campaign trail. A White House spokesman did not respond to requests for comment. The Mexican government said the account was not accurate. The phone call between the leaders was intended to patch things up between the new president and his ally. The two have had a series of public spats over Trump's determination to have Mexico pay for the planned border wall, something Mexico steadfastly refuses to agree to. "You have a bunch of bad hombres down there," Trump told Pena Nieto, according to the excerpt given to AP. "You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it." A person with access to the official transcript of the phone call provided only that portion of the conversation to The Associated Press. The person gave it on condition of anonymity because the administration did not make the details of the call public. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-mexico-care-bad-hombres-us-might-231304076--politics.html
