Dumb title but here's the drug related part:
"Sheinbaum on Tuesday took issue with the idea that Mexico can simply stop drug traffic, while pointing out America's role in it. "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours," she said, claiming that Mexico has "seized tons of various types of drugs, 10,340 firearms, and have detained 15,640 individuals for violence related to drug trafficking."

maybe if we had less of an open border policy then US guns would have a harder time getting to mexico. Maybe if she'd habdle the cartels in her country theyd be procuring fewer firearms. She says it cant be fixed because she, like many in the mexican gov, is probably a cartel member herself.

Also regardless of the drugs, mexico is a failed state and sheinbuam has no control over the graft and ultraviolence that permeates everyday life there

if a mayor in europe was decapitated in the streets in broad daylight by a muslim fundamentalist somewhere in europe we'd here about it, when its a cartel execution just south of the border then it goes on deaf ears

this is not an exagerstion of the problem, in fact it is far worse than i descri e if you look into it. The US should close the border and let mexico/sheinbuam handle their own problems
