Cartels have been killing our kids through the drug trade for years and nothing has been done. I don’t care if we declare them a terrorists organization as suggested or even go as far as to declare war on Mexico. Either way, they need to be destroyed as a top priority. Not broke apart, not disrupting drug flow… Complete eradication.
Also, our government should be held accountable for their failures to protect the American people.
This will do nothing but send us into more endless wars costing taxpayer money and american soldier lives. If the cartels do successfully breakdown then more smaller cartels will pop up. The war on drugs has been nothing but a miserable failure that only increases drug sales. We need to get to the root of the problem to why so many Americans use drugs and help current addicts get off.
They tried the soft handed root problem stuff in cities across the US. Look no further than Oregon’s decriminalization where homelessness and overdoses have hit their peak. The war on drugs has never included destroying the cartels, ever. It was always about slowing the drug flow once it got into America and jailing americans when caught. The war on drugs is not even close to what I’m proposing. I am proposing actually going into Mexico and destroying/killing the cartels there. Not jailed like el chappo, killed like bin laden.
i believe all methods should be used to destroy the cartel leadership as well as the coyotes and mules that do drug and human smuggling. Our border patrol should be allowed to use deadly force on our side of the border. Poland is a prime example of good border control. Israel is a prime example of eradicating terrorist leadership ranks… Lets do the same thing.
100 percent. Killing or jailing a drug dealer or cartel member just creates a job opportunity for a new drug dealer or cartel member.
The War on Drugs is the problem. Rather than the imperialist mentality of war, what about the Education About Drugs Movement instead? What about looking at the root causes like Kuro Nx is saying, like poverty, lack of education and resources, lack of healthcare and mental health care, lack of support for families.
