going after the Mexican Cartels means going after almost the entire Mexican Government and half of our own.
Don't be so naive.
Drug Cartels having been funding their politicians and ours for a very very long time.
Why do you think there is this fight going on for open or closed borders?
Closing the borders means a lot less money for the American and Mexican law enforcement.

Thats weird, when I read the article it just stated that Trump wants to designate drugdealers as terrorists and invade Mexico with us armed forces.
Same thing right, totally legit. That Mexican president must be part of the cartel if he doesnt want the us armies help.
That's totally not like the rest of the world determining the US 2nd admendment is enabeling terrorists and we'll come take them for you. Oh snap!
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he planned to designate the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, after earlier saying he would help Mexico wage war on the drug gangs and wipe them off the face of the earth.

Here's my take on this. I don't think the Mexican President is on the cartels payroll, but I think he fears what will happen. If people think it's bloody now between the uncorrupted police and the cartels, once actual war breaks out between them and the US things will get real messy.

60 seconds after Trump made his announcement there was a phone call to the Mexican president saying he better not let that happen...or else!
F# these cartels!! I say we go in there and surgically hit these buttwipes where it hurts, right in their growing fields. And hit 'em HARD! Take as many of these douchebuckets with them as they can! Let 'em start killing the crooked politicians, good riddance for them too!
ETA - No need to send in the Army, screw that! No police action...just KILL 'em all! I'm tired of this crap!

I think because what happens in Mexico is none of our business.
Do we want to encourage another countries leader to come here and try running things?
Just what does trump think he can do anyway?
And yet, a bunch of selfish idiots in the USA that keep buying drugs from violent cartels to give them power.

the US 2nd amendment is enabling terrorists
That's just dumb. What is enabling the drug cartels is not the 2nd amendment. It's this asinine drug war. It's pouring billions of dollars into the cartel's pockets. Sheesh!

The US can’t wipe out their own drug problem. And they certainly can’t wipe out the Mexican drug cartels
They would bring an absolute disaster on America and Mexico if the US intruded in that war.

I don't necessarily think it would be disastrous to have a predator drone loitering a few miles out from a Cartel's coastal villa..

It will when an innocent civilian or civilians get wiped out.
Drones have killed many innocent people.

A world wide war on drugs? Can't just get rid of the Mexico supply. Otherwise, there will always be a supply. Probably at a higher price and therefore more crime.
Cheaper to give out free drugs until all users are dead.
