    Step 1. Devise a plan that might actually work.

    Well that would be their hope, for sure. Do you have an idea that may lessen the number of deaths each year on both sides of the border?

    I never understood why we can't just send troops to slaughter the cartels. It might also give illegals less "asylum" excuses

    I suspect the cartels have already hired plenty of gringos, and they have the resources to hire armies of them if we send troops down there.

    While Islamic extremists and Mexican cartels share some similarities, they're different beast with different motivations.

    I have an acquaintance, Guatemalan migrant, his description of Mexican is Dirty, corrupt people.. I laugh, he wont even allow his children (6) to even play with them and he runs their ass's off anytime they come around.. Part of the reason I laugh at some of these PF racist threads here :)

    You must not know much about Latin Americans... Not the most motivated people. It's like saying the same about African nations. Sure there are some industrious folks in there, but for the most part a very idle lot.

    Mexican Drug Cartel members will be slaughtered by 12/5/2019.

    The U.S. Military is coming. You don't slaughter our innocents.

    Oh absolutely.

    I would never go in blind. I suspect we have a lot of intelligence already.

    It still all boils down to 1. kill the infrastructure 2. kill them

    I think it is easy and cheap. The cartels' capacity to run surveillance on officials they need would almost certainly make the FBI green with envy. Find the corruption - own the crook.

    They are mostly Christians in Mexico more familiar with the outside world so that would make a big difference. They know the American people, not just the military.

    Reports are coming out that these are Mormon Fundamentalists, which have virtually nothing to do with the LDS Church (normal Mormons). Which means they are into polygamy and other less than acceptable practices by today's norms. I wonder if this will affect the response? Nah.... Trump is likely looking for a reason to smash some Drug Cartel members. I expect bad things for their future.

    NYT/Bezos/Amazon/CNN/.... : 'War Crimes" "Genocide" "Racist Slaughter"

    Any effective commanders would probably end up in Leavenworth.

    if the cartel operators were that smart they wouldn't have to use so much violence. Wouldn't underestimate them but wouldn't overestimate them either.

    Arming the Mexican people and allowing them to form militias to eliminate the cartels could work

    Will never be permitted in Mexico or here.

    That's the rough plan but it needs to be more finely tuned.

    The first thing would be to deny them their major facilities. Blow those up and cut out large portions of their cash flow.

    Smugglers always outsmart law enforcement. Whenever there is a real demand it will be met.

    Sending arms to Mexico has already been done by the BHO Admin and led to the death of a border guard.

    They will adjust, and they will have inside intelligence about our operations and strategy.
