Of course they are. Mexico has the drug cartels rope around the nations neck, and is corrupt to the core. That will happen here if these crooks have their way.
Not to forget that today’s Mexican “government” is the direct descendant of a violent, corrupt, atheist, extremely oppressive communist regime installed by revolution ending in the 1920s. It’s not just the drug cartels ruining the country; the official government is not much (if any) better.
