Look they have been using bombs for years against each other. The cartels are at war with each other in Mexico. Nothing new here to see. As far as El Pasoans going into Mexico the biggest issue is crossing times. They suck. Also most folks from El Paso go to Mexico for their medical care especially dental. Anything else they may want can be found here in town.

You don’t care that Hezbollah and China work with the drug cartels?

'It is well established that the Drug Cartels run the American Mexican border." - Is it though? Where is this "well established" exactly? Do you know what advancing from a false premise means?

Law enforcement that actually work to control the border say the cartels control it. A while back they showed cartel members on the Mexican side slashing a man with a machete because he refused to pay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOgtUgoIOwo

LTC David Brown - I suppose one guy on "News Nation" telling you what you want to believe is "well established" for some people. Funny how those that distrust "the media" most will go along with whatever they are told provided they already believe like what is being said. Not a critical thought to be found in that case ... and in this case, it is coming from a labor union leader. Interesting.

For some the "well established" bar is a bit higher.

"One high ranking Mexican Army officer says Hezbollah is now believed to be training Mexican drug cartel enforcers the art of bomb making."
Just one?

" ties with drug cartels in Mexico dating back over a decade."

Long before Biden's time in office.

The problem is Biden has had an estimated 4 million undocumented immigrants from 96 countries. The drug cartels are connected to China for drugs, drug precursors, and money laundering. Hezbollah is an international crime organization with ties to the drug cartels. The drug cartels now have control over the border. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOgtUgoIOwo

LTC David Brown - I do not doubt that te cartels have a major influence over the border. However, most drugs coming into the US are brought in by "mules" that are legally entering the States.

One of many sources:

Give us funding for more BP, more immigration courts, more judges to determine asylum claims, and we could see a reduction in the numbers coming across our borders. Plus, let's counter-act the propaganda being spread in other countries about the US have "open borders."
