Not gonna happen during AMLO's presidency. He has been recorded eating tacos with the mother of "El Chapo" and her operators, he negotiated the extradition of Secretary of Defense Salvador Cienfuegos when he was arrested in USA, and promptly exonerated him, and has publicly declared that cartel members are human beings and deserve respect. "Hugs, not bullets" is still his "strategy".
His almost two decades of presidential campaign had suspicious and illegal funding, I wouldn't be surprised if narco money reached his hands too, with the implicit compromises. He and his accomplices haven't seen any consequences for his many blatant, which speaks volumes of the weak justice system in Mexico, or of the overpowered presidential figure.

Cooperation of the Mexican government is ideal and could be done through economic leverage like the last admin did with the USMCA to get the Stay in Mexico policy and Mexican troops on the border.
- 5ftfreak 4y agoThe US tries that all Latin America will respond. What a disgusting take you have made. Why are you in so much need of keeping the US as the imperalist machinery that is today? you neoconservative, bloodthirsty fucking loser.

- hunterb123 4y agoYou lashed out at me because you are ignorant of the issue, it's okay I forgive you. Please stick to the discussion next time though, instead of attacking the person, it shows weak emotional control, it's rude, and it's immature. Plus ya'know, it violates this site's guidelines.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoBesides closing the borders and economic sanctions (to your largest trade partner, mind you), you really don't want to go the armed way because terrorism. It's one thing to f-up small countries in the other side of the world, but doing that to a neighbor almost half your size, with a huge shared border, impossible to land lock, and with millions of sympathizers residing in your own territory... you don't want a giant Afghanistan/Cuba as your roommate.
- hunterb123 4y agoI'm not saying to lie about WMDs and invade a country on a false premise like Iraq, I'm saying to pick up specific people at a high level in the cartels. So if you're against the US picking these cartel members up the armed way, what method would be more effective or is the current status quo okay?
