Even assuming the US is a weapons source for Mexico, wouldn’t a stronger border suppress trafficking of all sorts in both directions?

True but most of the weapons come from other countries because they are fully automatic. The cartel is a paramilitary organization trained by us. WE trained their police and then the cartel bought them off. They know special opps and have grenade's, rocket launchers, fully automatic weapons. We are talking thousands of weapons here. To think that they come from America is just ridiculous. But we are talking about Senators here so I am being redundant.
