I do not agree, and the sources referenced are. coms and Wikipedia…Kelly Anne Conway was a joke and remains a joke. The cartels are strengthened by US Gun control laws which basically make guns abundant and easy to access. It’s the 2nd amendment and allows for an ease of accessibility. The drug demand in our country and the need for them to be on a black market make it an incredibly lucrative trade. Also the wealth of our nation allows for free flowing cash into the drug business. Our ATF still uses paper documents to track firearms and the right is constantly trying to find only the military and leave most other agencies to the wayside. The left over funds and is constantly cleaning up a mess that the right creates and then burning out when they actually have the ability to force some change. So we just kind of sit in a moderately shifting limbo while the press keep us fighting each other about belief instead of helping to produce more consistent progress towards a better country.

[captain_voidwalker]

The 2nd amendment also allows us citizens to defend themselves against cartels smuggling on thier property... you know when the federal government isn't running law abiding gun owners through the ringer that is

[Jay3344]

@captain_voidwalker for sure, but my point was more about how the cartels are influenced almost exclusively by the US. Look what weapons they use, the military tactics and torture techniques…they are a no product of America. Most of Latin America is…there are numerous well researched and well cited books on the matter. Yes it helps US citizens defend their personal property but that’s a minor concern when faced with the larger cartel situation. One man vs a multibillion dollar black market business. The narrow scope allows for limited solutions.

[Jay3344]

*by product not *no product…auto check got me

[Leopard23]

Your right because we're else would the cartels get fully automatic machine guns

Took like 5 mins to figure out

[MysticDevice]

Obviously the drug cartels are not Biden's fault. However his lack of enthusiasm towards dealing with them on this side of the fence certainly isn't helping.

[Asker]

Which answer-option did you select in the poll?

[MysticDevice]

I chose B

[Anonymous]

Kind of, but I would word it a bit differently. Biden doesn't care about the Mexicans at all. Biden is completely owned by China, so he allows Chinese fentanyl to flow into the country and kill children. Biden is a complete sociopath.

[Asker]

Did you vote in the poll?
(There currently is no Pink “B - I KINDA AGREE…” vote in the poll.)

[Opinion Owner]

I just voted A.

[Asker]

Ok thanks.

[Asker]

Ok great.

[Asker]

(Sorry for the double reply there. Lol)

[Anonymous]

Yes they have. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a fact.

[NewsReader]

I have not found any evidence of her saying that

[Asker]

She said it yesterday on the Fox talk show “Outnumbered.”

[coachTanthony]

Biden is terrible no doubt about it but this is a Mexico thing. They need to clean up their own house or suffer consequences of dying tourism. Mexico has always protected us when visiting and now the cartels are spitting in their face and ours.

[Asker]

Which answer-option did you select in the poll?

[coachTanthony]

I selected A

[coachTanthony]

It's a true statement doesn't mean I blame Biden. Mexico always takes care of their tourism no matter who is in the white house. It was bound to get bad no matter who was president. I mean we have wide open boarders why bother with kidnapping people and bringing attention to themselves? It's a mexico thing.

[Jersey2]

It seems the unspoken deal with the cartels is doesn’t kill innocents and we will leave you alone. That is why the Tummy Tuck Four killing has lead to an apology and the ones who did it were given to police.

But this sucks for US citizens as Biden looks the other way instead of attacking the drug trade. More Americans would be alive and healthy if he stemmed the flow of drugs but he won’t. He knows that all drugs can’t be kept out so politically it is safer to do nothing… just like illegal immigration. Such a coward.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

She would be believable except the fact Mexican cartel IS A Mexican problem when it comes to murder, torture, kidnapping, etc. They widely DO NOT do that in America.

Except for illegal drugs Mexican cartel widely has less than a dog's shit to do with America as long as Americans stay OUT of Mexico. Given economic slump IN America now you ARE taking your life in your hands going; in some areas were a decade ago.

Now if she wants to talk about cartels then she should EDUCATE herself. Most violent gangs nowadays in America are Central & South American and some - MS-13 - make Mexican cartel look like a bunch of flowers-in-our-hair alter boys.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

Hell in some ways even the Cosa Nostra - Sicilian mob - makes the Mexican cartel look about as dangerous as banada bread. Cosa Nostra WILL murder & kidnap all over the place & they don't give a shit who the person is even now.

I know because there's a bistro near where I live & a few years ago one of the Cosa Nostra mob bosses that was one the news & wanted by Interpol was IN that bistro.

[MrOracle]

The only reason you believe what you are saying here is because the mainstream media largely refuses to report on cartel activities in the US.

The cartels operate in all of the border states, and violence and murder are routine. That doesn't even include fentynol which is the leading cause of American deaths today.

In California, cartels have purchased land to grow Marijuana and have killed more than 20 people who mistakenly got to close to their grow areas - including an elderly couple who had lived on the adjacent land for decades and refused to leave.

The police in any border state can tell you endless stories of serious cartel crime, but the news won't report it. Even journalists have said that they did investigations and wrote big stories only to have the editors kill the story. But just because it's not in the mainstream news doesn't mean that it's not happening.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

@MrOracle ROFL.
"mainstream media largely refuses to report on cartel activities in the US." - I don't listen to the news. I listen to reality. Friends & family ARE law enforcement. Either cops or corrections.

Now
You'd sound intelligent if you knew what you were talking about but you DON'T. What when there's FAR more than just the Mexican cartel but you lump them together as if they're all one & the same.

The predominant cartel gangs in California is MS-13, NOT Mexican. TRY to learn. The most pressing Mexican group is Los Cabos which is a minor cartel compared to WHAT's in Mexico.

MS-13 has groups going all the way up to Vancouver British Columbia I know as 15 years ago when I was doing security to pay for my university I and colleagues had to deal with MS-13 assoicates. We ALSO had to deal with Red Scorpions, Bacon Brothers, Tirade, Hells Angels, Yakuza & IS.

Closest you've ever been to a gang member is on Law & Order TV shows.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

@MrOracle "any border state can tell you endless stories of serious cartel crime, but the news won't report it. Even journalists have said that they did investigations and wrote big stories only to have the editors kill the story. But just because it's not in the mainstream news doesn't mean that it's not happening."

You sort of missed when I said that Mexican cartel doesn't give a shit about America, didn't you? Border towns. Of course there's going to be violence there.

Look into the mouth of a crocodile and expect to get eaten. It's that simple.

Mexican cartel crime is nowhere near the violence, etc that the MS-13 and other gangs / cartels do THOROUGHOUT America. Mess enough with the Sicilian mob and they'll hunt you down from east to west coast, from Anchorage to shit nowhere town nobody cares about in Florida.

[MrOracle]

Obviously MS-13 has been a problem for 25 years. But the drug cartels have escalated significantly in the last few years, in violence, in drug-running into the US (which has led to a massive increase in fentanyl deaths), and in human trafficking. That's what she's talking about, and it's absolutely true.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

@MrOracle Which cartels? That there's more than Mexican cartels - there's Central American, South American, Italian, Russian, SE European (Bulgerian, Serbian, Romanian). ALL of which do those crimes however most of them have NO ISSUE slitting throats in America.

EXCEPT Mexican cartels which WIDELY work in Mexico - you even PROVED that earlier with the comment about the violence in the border towns - except for drug smuggling because Americans just are NOT that important.

Like her, you DO NOT have a clue what you are talking about. What when fentanyl is NOT imported by Mexicans. Fentanyl related substances comes from China. So think who was responsible... more than likely the Russian mob not Mexicans.

[LiamJHayden]

Pretty clear that the problem has gotten worse, but the terms she used make it sound like it is intentional. I think it is rather just part of the general ineptitude of the entire administration.

[Asker]

Which answer-option did you select in the poll?

[LiamJHayden]

B. I understand her opinion, but like I said I think it is ineptitude, not intention.

[Jerre]

Biden is certainly not doing much to eradicate the Cartels

[Asker]

Which answer-option did you select in the poll?

[Jerre]

I chose B

[Jerre]

Thank you for the Like

[Asker]

You’re welcome

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's pretty obvious to anyone who pays attention.

[Asker]

Ok. Are you NOT a big fan of him overall?

[Opinion Owner]

Everything he's done is for China. I don't see how people can't see that.

[Asker]

Except the “allowing the balloon to fly over the US” thing—that was “to keep people safe on the ground”—yeah, right. Lol

[Opinion Owner]

And some moron on this site from Sweden, said that America is mean for shooting down balloons.
She must have thought this 200 foot high balloon escaped someone's birthday party.

[Asker]

😊😊

[Exterminatore]

100% agree. We hear constantly about human trafficking. Would open boarders not help that segment of criminal enterprises?

[007kingifrit]

4 americans were kidnapped this weekend alone so yes

[legalboxers]

*waits*

[Asker]

Why did you feel the need to submit that picture for this question? (That’s very confusing.)

[legalboxers]

It was the most fitting one and response for her and her divorced alternative reality head of hers

[Asker]

Did you vote in the poll? (There currently isn’t a Blue “NO” vote out there.)

[KarinMcDonald]

Everything she says is a lie, just like Faux news.

[Leopard23]

Largely through. Probably donated to the Biden regime's campaign fund

[Asker]

Which answer-option did you select in the poll?

[annabananna]

I don’t know enough to agree or disagree
