What you have in Mexico is almost a failed state, and it is the drug cartels that are making it so. They are not simply organizations that manage to avoid prosecution while they produce and distribute their illicit products. Rather they are violent, paramilitary groups that engage in hostilities to protect and expand their part of the trade in illegal drugs.
That they exist just south of our border and export their products to the US is one more reason to support President Trump’s border wall and efforts to secure that border with Mexico. But the issue is whether we should do more. In other words, given the threat these cartels present to the US, would it make sense to take increased action in concert with the Mexican authorities to attack them before they get the chance to enter the US or ship their drugs into our country?
Senator Cruz believes the answer to that question is yes, and he supports using US military forces, working with Mexico, to attack the drug problem at its source — these violent cartels that are a blight on Mexico and a danger to America.
When does a senator get to send troops any where is that not up to congress or the president ?
Cant do that cuz the CIA will go into heart failing debt
Good idea
Might try removing the customer base…
Ha our government has been in on the drug trade for years. Clintons making big money from it
Military would wipe them out, legalizing drugs is stupid!

Cruz has no clue who are the drug dealers in the US. IF he looked across the senate floor he would see most of them.
Zero taxes collected go for nothing other than paying interest for currency previously borrowed.
