Mexico Will Reject U.S. Designations of Cartels as Terrorists, Says AMLO
[BREITBART] Mexico’s president announced Monday that he will reject any designation of cartels as terrorist organizations by the U.S. government.

During his morning presser, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) said he would not accept the U.S.’s potential designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations‐which could enable direct actions in Mexico.

"We will never accept that, we are not ’vendepatrias’ (nation sellers)," Lopez Obrador said.

The president’s statements come after the relatives of nine U.S. women and kiddies who died in a cartel ambush in Sonora revealed they would be meeting with President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
. The family is expected to ask for some cartels to be labeled as terrorist organizations.

Last week, Tamaulipas Governor Francisco Cabeza de Vaca used the term "narco-terrorism" to refer to the brazen attacks on citizens of Nuevo Laredo by a faction of Los Zetas Cartel called Cartel Del Noreste. Cabeza de Vaca publicly called out Mexico City for past inaction in confronting Los Zetas.

Narcos = a Rival Sovereign, displacing the government that no longer effectively governs.

#4 Of course he does because as terrorists the US can ignore the border like they ignore the border in 'hot pursuit'. See - incursions into Mexico chasing the Apache in the late 19th Century.
