1. Chaim Rubinsteinowitz: Get the Mexican Navy, they're more reliable and are less corrupted than the Federal Police or the Army.
2. Jbautista: that would work too, but my plan is better
3. TheJam1192: Exactly, if all drugs were legal then the drug lords would lose their business.
4. DorianGrayism: No country cares about America's Sovereignty. It is America's responsibility to ensure their own sovereignty. Not Mexico's.
5. Tabris: If ultimately one sides with the police against the gangsters, it is merely because they are better organized and more powerful, because, in fact, the law is a bigger racket than crime. — George Orwell
6. AndrewAJT: War on drugs won't end until decriminalization of drugs
7. rht785: its not a drug war any more now its kidnapping and many other violent crimes the government cannot stop the offensive against this criminals
8. tdr124: Wow!I had to laugh!! I am not sure if you are serious or joking!
9. waden marcos eleoterio waden: Porque haverá homens amantes de si mesmo,avarentos,.presunçosos,soberbos,blasfemos,desobedientes aos pais,ingratos,profanos,sem afeto natural,irreconciliáveis,caluniadores,incontinente,cruéis,sem amor para com os bons,traidores,orgulhosos,inimigos de Deus,impiedosos.tendo aparência de bons mas, são maus.Desses afasta-te. 2 Timóteo Cap.03 V1a 5. (Jesus está voltando) "Prepara-te.
10. AR1STONE: And El Chapo from the Sinaloa Cartel helps alot of people in Mexico. It's these Zetas that fuck everything up.
11. Jbautista: How about this for a plan. Evacuate every one from that live close to the borders south or north. Let mexico Blockade the border from the south of the bored and let nothin come in or out
12. AR1STONE: The fundamental problem isn't immigrants it's no jobs in US. How many immigrants come here and spend money on products that help the economy? How many do the work that lazy americans won't do for cheap? Mexico is paying off it's debt faster than we are. We fuel mass migrations from latin america because we're cheap buying, drug using consumers
13. historical-oracle: corruption is like a disease, there is no quick and easy and unpainful way to get rid of it, back in the old days corruption was rare because if caught you most likey would be killed or totured then killed a few years later, the problem is when cartel soldiers, officers, bosses are caught they face a easy life in prison the only real danger to a cartel is not the goverment but rival cartels
14. SoldadoAzteca89: go fuck yourself foo . MEXICAN PRIDE ALL THE WAY. also fuck your amerikkkuntination.
15. SoldadoAzteca89: the illuminati wants everyone to have guns so everyone can kill each other worldwide and REDUCE POPULATION by so no matter WE ARE ALL DOOMED AND SLAVED BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENTS.
