DC: President Donald Trump is mulling designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, he told Breitbart News in a Monday Oval Office interview.
“We’re thinking about doing it very seriously. In fact, we’ve been thinking about it for a long time,” Trump said when asked if he was considering the move. “As terrorists — as terrorist organizations, the answer is yes. They are.”
Trump lamented the inability of the Mexican government to control the violence, saying “they’ve totally lost control of the cartels. Mexico last year had 42,000 deaths — murders — 42,000. It’s considered one of the most unsafe countries in the world.”
GOP lawmakers Mark Green and Chip Roy proposed in February 2019 to designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, enabling the U.S. Treasury Department to sanction their assets aggressively. more here
Two things he can be certain of if he does so:
1. Congress will try to pass a bill against it.
2. It will get a huge amount of coverage.
So why not???
I say; Go for it.
It’s called ‘push back’.
Let the A-10’s have them
Let the Special Forces Murder them out.
We should bring back the Gibbet
He thought about signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship too, still waiting on that one. Time to stop thinking and start being bold, that’s what we voted for.
He also needs to declare the mexican government a state sponsor of terrorism!
I like the direction of President Trump. I think the way you do it is great to protect America in the best way
Do it. Then blow their heads clean off.
LAZLO, and then some…
Should have been done 20 years ago.
The number of lives that are forever damaged from drug abuse is huge. People who are unable to get off and stay off them, even with help is staggering. The families that are crushed and hurt by people selling and providing dangerous addictive drugs need a actual effective answer to the on going problem. Taking the gloves off and putting teeth into stopping the problem is long over due. Band aide hand slapping has not worked. I have friends who’s kids are in and out of the revolving door drug rehab programs. President Trump sounds like he wants to make an attempt to stop the problem in its tracks. I have no problem with his idea. The lameo left will no doubt make a stink, so what else would anyone expect of fools that only want him damaged. For them American lives only mean zip.
42’000 a year and heading this way.
Death sentence in a timely manner, not many repeat offenders.
How’s the WALL coming along?
if that happens it carte blanch to go after them. See isis.

TWD
Does that mean Dems won’t be able to accept campaign contributions from the cartels any more?
Don’t “mull it” do it!
Release the Devil Dogs

Don’t do it Mr. President. Just build the damned wall like you promised and force the US companies there to move back to the US and end prohibition. It isn’t worth a drop of American blood nor a dime of American treasure to try to rehabilitate the failed state of Mexico. Quarantine it instead.
