Why should Mexico endanger the lives of its citizens so that Americans can be hampered from ingesting substances of which other Americans disapprove? Would you support a policy of endangering the lives of U.S. citizens so that Mexicans could be hampered from ingesting substances of which other Mexicans disapprove?
The two things are tied inexorably to each other.
The Mexicans cannot stop the killing without stopping the drugs.
There are Billions of dollars going into Mexico from drug sales. I doubt seriously they really want to stop the drugs, and as long as there are rival dealers there will be killing.
Their Police Departments are a joke and their Military isn’t much better.
So by analogy, you’d be OK with American law enforcement turning a blind eye to toxic waste dumpers using the Rio Grande just as it flows into Mexico ?
As long as a few criminals in Mexico are making money cooperating with the dumpers, why should American law enforcement risk their lives trying to protect the vast majority of Mexicans who do not benefit but are only harmed by such dumping ?
No, I am not saying drugs are toxic waste. I am saying that being a good neighbor means respecting their laws and not helping your people circumvent those laws. Just like the pamphlets the Mexican government provides people advising them how to best illegally enter the US, the Mexican government is proving again it is not a good neighbor.
LOL in fact ROTFL!
Kook - we have tons of laws making illegal the trafficking & transit of thousands of illegal substances, including but not limited to drugs, weapons, prostitutes, and sensitive information.
And police die rather often enforcing those very laws.
Put down the bong for a few weeks...
