People in Mexico already get routinely kidnapped, murdered, tortured, extorted, trafficked, etc. If anything, this would be an improvement. It is bad, yes. But

People in Mexico already get routinely kidnapped, murdered, tortured, extorted, trafficked, etc. If anything, this would be an improvement. It is bad, yes. But far better than the status quo. CJNG for example lost all respect and now they have an army, with uniforms, vehicles, military grade weapons and all. They do not hide who they are anymore. It is a joke. Under normal conditions, you can deal with an infection with an antibiotic. But when left untreated long enough, you have to amputate. That is what is needed here. A complete amputation of those clowns from reality. That is what the US would do if an organization dared to pull off 1% of what these clowns do every day. Blitz war on cartels with army, navy and air force, missiles, bombs, napalm, tanks, helicopters, armored personal carriers... leave no trace of them. The prohibition era analogy argument stops working when you realize cartels traffic people too.
