Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduces bill to classify drug cartels as terrorist organizations

Neon Nettle –

Roy introduced his legislation on Thursday that would see cartels labeled under federal law as Foreign Terror Organizations (FTO).

Roy’s bill, titled the “Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act,” would classify the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas and the Reynosa/Los Metros faction of the Gulf Cartel as terrorist organizations, according to The Daily Caller.

“I’ve spent my time talking to people who actually know what’s happening at the border and I’ve been meeting with former DPS agents, people engage[d] with and rooting out cartels and the violence, and all they are telling me is that cartels are becoming increasingly violent,” Roy in a statement.

“All of the data shows it, all of the actions show it. We have people in America being shuttled around by cartel-paid American citizens to put them in human trafficking, sex trafficking.” more

  3. IT’S ONE OR THE OTHER

    You’re either with the drug cartels or you’re with American people. Decide.
    You’re gonna have to make a decision.
    Everyone will… One or another…
    DECIDE

  4. WOW, the Cartels have been the agents of heroin, meth, cocaine, weed, murder, dismembering their victims, rape, intimidation, coyotes and corruption…….so 40 years later they are designated a terrorist organization by a proposed bill.

    Why now and not 40 years ago.
    Will it take another decade or two to clamp down on the cartel and drug trafficking and illegals crossing the border?

  5. Chickity…”You’re either with the drug cartels or you’re with American people. ” The dems and rinos have already declared they are not and never will be with the American people. Illegals are their constituency.
