Thank you Daddy Trump for renewing NAFTA and keeping the border crossings open for illegals and fent shipments.

I'm curious what prevents Mexico from going thermonuclear on the gangs and cartels like El Salvador.

Do any Mexican dramanauts have insight into this?

In the past they had the problem that large parts of the army and police were being bribed. The US pretty much only worked with the navy because all other institutions were hopeless.

The current government is openly supportive of the cartels, or at least whichever one controls them.

Extremely. In public he pretends they don't even exist. When the US arrested the former defense minister who worked for the cartels he threatened to shut down all law enforcement cooperation with the US unless he was immediately released.

Well for one almost the entire government is in the pocket of the cartels.

The gangs own the government. To the point the leader of Mexico comes out screaming about "Human right abuses in American prisons!" every time a high ranking member get's busted
