When Will Biden Act Against The Cartels?
Over 600 Americans were abducted in Mexico in 2021. Many of these individuals did not come home as their families failed to pay the ransom. Just this week, four more innocent Americans from South Carolina joined the list. According to Biden, these people were not taken by terrorists, but by drug cartels since his administration refuses to give them the proper destination. If ISIS or any other middle eastern terrorist organization killed 600+ Americans in a single year, an all-out war would be declared. While both sides deserve blame for the crisis, the Biden administration currently holds the power and refuses to designate the cartels as terrorists over diplomatic nonsense with Mexico. Here’s what must be done.
Eric,
Thank you for opening this discussion thread.
This morning I got mad. I read about the 4 kidnapped/killed at Matamoros and had a “Holy S**t” moment. The dynamic team of Brandon & Mayorkas & Andrés Manuel López Obrador have finally stepped in it. Here is why.
Brownsville is the top spring break location in Texas. Matamoros is the border town across from Brownsville Texas. Spring break is just starting. Thousands and thousands of college kids will head there over the next 4 weeks, and ultimately make a bad decision to take a day trip to Mexico. Some won’t come back. It's inevitable.
Unfortunately, it takes piles of dead bodies to get anyone’s attention these days. By June Comer or Jordan will call hearings so we can see the grieving moms who don’t understand why our government could not keep their kids safe.
All this carnage will lie at Washington’s feet because we were too scared or too incompetent to declare the Narco terrorists a “Clear and Present Danger”.
We need to return to the policies of the last administration where tariffs and border searches slow this down. Every truck should be searched. Entry lines should be miles and miles long. Produce can rot for all I care. I am ok if I never eat another “Avocado from Mexico”.
Cheers
The Vietnam War lasted about 20 years and about 58,000 Americans got killed in it. WW 2 lasted about 4 years and about 400,000 Americans died in it. We are losing over 100,000 Americans a year now to drug overdoses and doing almost nothing about. That's more per year than got killed per year in WW 2 and almost twice as many as died during the 20 entire years of the Vietnam War. And as a drug and alcohol counselor, the problem is getting much worse. Yet our government is doing nothing about it.
