#1 The plane was obviously a threat to US urban drug and human trafficking commerce.

#2 Shut the border down. Mexico understands that pain. Remember Kiki Camarena?

We're stepping up the game. Graphic depicts replacement platforms. The exact number, scheduling and flight tracks are classified.

#4 Mexico is 'turning into' a narco-state. (Trying to avoid being an absolutist.) THAT said, prepare for war with Mexico. Arc light strikes, armor and infantry on the ground, and artillery prepping the area. FEBA will start at border, and will move south with time. Mexican 'officials' are compromised. This cancer must be excised. Spare nothing. When it is excised, China will be exposed. Expect Cuba and Venezuela to become involved. Maybe Russia. Consider moving this purge south, a lot.
This has been in the wind for a long time.

#5 The difference between the US - Mexico relationship and the Israel vs all their neighbors situation is that we have been able to treat Mexico and its troubles on our border like a nuisance as opposed to an existential threat. That's changing now.

#6 Agree.

#7 I can't help feeling that a more Trumpian president would make Mexico an offer it could not refuse.

#8 The power of Chinese and Cartel money is greater than any fear of US response. Biden has made it clear that we will do nothing and the Mexicans are seeing the need to heed: "You decide... silver or lead?" Close the border, put the Army behind a fence, cease remittances, mandate E-Verify, cross reference IRS and Social Security databases for duplication of entry, lifetime exclusion of citizenship for all with illegal entry crimes,
Watch the narcotics problem drop precipitously.

#9 Things will quiet down upon Trump’s return, but the issue needs to be fixed for good. I think he will make it a priority. The news is not covering the rise in fentanyl deaths in a way that would reflect negatively on Biden, but it is out of control again as it was in Obama’s first two terms.

#10 It’s more imbedded. For a while now cartel and lots of high level criminals educate their kids in the highest level US schools and universities, most with citizenship, which gives them relationship networking and access to US and other foreign elites and untold opportunities to corrupt. It’s not just the media covering for Biden.
