#1 "Fuck you USA" yet again. What else did anyone expect from Mexico?

#2 What else did anyone expect from Mexico?

Well I, personally, don't expect anything from them except maintaining the quality of Dos XX's verde. But Trump expects them to stop illegal immigration on their side of the border - and, so far, they've met his expectations.

#4 Deep State does seem tied into drug cultivation.

#5 Ovid Guzmán is one of the important objectives of the bilateral efforts to dismantle what remains of the Chapo Guzmán cell...

If that cell was able to shoot it out with the cops and win it sounds like "what remains" of it is quite considerable.

Mexico is a nation at war with itself. There are plenty of decent people there but, unfortunately, many evil and corrupt people as well. The argument could be made that it's our fault because our so-called war on drugs was a farce from the very start and our country provides the cartels with their most lucrative market.

My biggest fear is that the corruption has spilled over to our side of the border or, in fact, spilled over to our side of the border a long, long time ago. I can't prove that our politicians are on the take from the cartels but no one seems to be in a position to prove that they aren't. Call it paranoia or conspiracy theory or whatever you want. The question remains: Why are people like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer so adamant about refusing to secure the border?
