All things "southern border" cartels designated as terrorists

[livingston]

Have you seen the latest?

El Salvador has offered to host any deported prisoners we care to send them, for a price.

The El Salvadorans might be a lot of things, but they sure know how to run a prison.

The details are indeed absolutely stunning. Not only has El Salvador agreed to take in criminal illegal alien deportees of all nationalities, but it has also offered to take in violent criminals imprisoned in the United States, even if they are AMERICAN citizens.

There is no way those cartel's could exist as openly as they do without "massive" corruption within the Mexican Government and to a lesser extent our own. Rent out a few Super Cobra's, some satellite data, the Letter of Marque and let them have at it, on both sides of the border.

Sending Americans there might have 8th Amendment implications.

In some parts of Mexico it's difficult to separate the cartels from the government.

Like trying to separate the DoD from the defense contractors. That line gets pretty blurry sometimes. "We'll, I work in the procurement office, and my boss is a GS7, but my paycheck says Boeing"

Or buy them back from the Taliban

I don't like it.

They'll take their own people back. Ok, they should do this.

They'll take other foreign nationals in for a fee. Yeah fuck that. Send those other foreign nationals back to their country of origin - and pay nothing. That's the route. Fuck paying a foreign government a fee for people that shouldn't even be here.

They'll imprison Americans. No. 8th amendment issues aside, I want our criminals here. They owe a debt to America and to the people they victimized. It should be paid here, not some far away land.

Youngest son of Captain Ladder 35 LODD 9/11 flew one in Afghanistan. He didn’t tell anyone in USMC his father was FDNY killed on 9/11 until they pushed him to fly Hornets…

Last time I knew he was flying them was 2016 when he introduced me (wearing dress blues) to a crowd of rich guys wearing tuxedos when I gave a speech out in LA.
Lots of old guys handed him business cards saying call me when you get out.
Got his MBA from Michigan and works for an investment bank.

Quote from the article: "The flight path of a US spy plane shows it conducted a mysterious mission over the Gulf of California in Mexico this week".
Mysterious? I dont think so. We are gonna blow them out of the caves like we did to the sand roaches in the mid east. We've been practicing avoiding collateral damage for a long time, its time we used it here in our neighborhood. Will it put an end to the drug trade? Not at all, but it will send these scumbags back underground and make them think twice about how they do business. The smart bombs are gonna be flying soon. And its likely their smart phones are right now giving their positions away.

A shit ton of the ingredients to make fentanyl are dropped in barrels from Chinese freighters off that peninsula then picked up by mainly by fishing boats working with the cartel. That may be a good reason for the flight?

Anything connected to the cartels will be targeted.

Mexican President Pushes Changes to Constitution to Protect Cartels from U.S. Government​

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum filed a controversial series of changes to the country’s constitution that would essentially block any investigation or action by foreign law enforcement agencies without their permission. The provisions could enable Mexico to criminally pursue anyone involved in those investigations. The changes come after the United States designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and announced the intent to eradicate them.

This week, Sheinbaum filed a series of changes to the country’s constitution that, if approved by the legislative branch, would change Articles 40 and 19 of Mexico’s constitution.
“What we want to make clear in the face of this designation is that we do not negotiate sovereignty,” Sheinbaum said. “This cannot be an opportunity on the part of the United States to invade our sovereignty. So, they can name it whatever they want, but with Mexico, it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination, not interference, and much less invasion.”

As if we needed any more proof the cartels run that country. I am very wary of any military action in Mexico. I think we should first tax all remittances from this country to Mexico at 50%. Give the Mexican government an incentive to clean up their country and police the border. If the illegals and cartels can't move their money back home this will definitely impact them.

Military action might be unavoidable but I doubt it will be quick and clean. The last thing we need is a protracted Vietnam on our southern border.

Once all the grifters are removed from government we need not worry about protracted wars. Get it done, get out.

I'm following this situation And am hopeful for where it may evolve.

Trump has declared the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. The gloves are off, that is a major policy shift and with that designation it's open season.

This story just came out today. In addition to the usual civil engineers and MPs to control the border and augment the border patrol or build the wall.... Theres a brand new development that seems to coincide with president Trump's designation of cartels as terrorist organizations. We are now deploying combat troops from the 82nd and 10th.

Here are the first Army and Marine Corps units heading to the border

US Northern Command has identified the units to which the first 1,000 soldiers and 500 Marines deploying to the southern border are assigned.

This is exciting.

If the cartels are now designated as terrorists..Mexico is harboring them so isn’t Mexico in the same boat as Iran? So Mexico should be heavily sanctioned and trade, anything, ceased. Seems logical.

 

[tirwin1]

Perhaps we should do something about the cartels operating in this country first.

Inside the Mojave Desert train heists targeting Nike sneakers

A string of heists targeting BNSF trains in California and Arizona resulted in the theft of $2 million worth of Nike sneakers. Trade groups say these types of crimes are happening more frequently.

www.yahoo.com

The thieves stealthily board eastbound freight trains, hiding out until they reach lonely stretches of the Mojave Desert or high plains far from towns. They slash an air brake hose, causing the mile-long line of railcars to screech to an emergency stop.

Then, they go shopping.

That’s the modus operandi described by investigators in a string of at least 10 heists targeting BNSF trains in California and Arizona since last March. All but one resulted in the theft of Nike sneakers, their combined value approaching $2 million, according to investigators.

 

[tirwin1]

Just to show just how complicated things are, apparently the US signed a deal with the sinaloa cartel over a decade ago. They gave us information on their competitors and we let them alone to deal drugs. Anyone familiar with the movie "Sicario" will recognize the strategy. (P.S. A great movie BTW).

They become a State sponsor of a terrorist movement that funds itself by human and drug smuggling. Some of the humans smuggled in will be found to be members of other terrorist groups and other nations military.
General 'Black Jack Pershing" led a "punitive" invasion of Mexico in 1916. I don't think anything will happen before the mid-term elections. The current Administration has a lot of house cleaning to do.
i.e. some one said the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs was just relieved for being part of a coup against the duly elected President.
