Nice summary but it is missing something very important that even I have only know come to realize.
These Mexican drug cartels own politicians in southern states or any place they are active. They may very well control media outlets.
If I’m right, we need to wage a cross border military campaign. Look at Vicente Fox. He’s clearly part of the Cartel.
Our government as well as the Mexican government has been in bed with the Cartel’s since the CIA created them.
