“During a recent Senate hearing, Top DEA Pick Mr. Terrance Cole made a bold and surprising statement. He said that a large part of Mexico is heavily influenced or even controlled by drug cartels.

He explained that during his time working in Mexico City with the DEA, he saw firsthand how powerful and organized the cartels were. One of the biggest, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was said to have had influence in 24 of Mexico’s 32 states.

When asked directly if the Mexican government and cartels work together, the nominee didn’t hesitate. He replied, “They work hand in hand.” This statement drew strong reactions from U.S. lawmakers, some of whom were surprised or concerned. 

The nominee explained that court cases show cartel collusion, including one where a former top security official in Mexico was sentenced to 38 years in a U.S. prison for accepting bribes from drug cartels. He also pointed to a long history of Mexican military and police forces being linked to cartel operations.” (Courtesy Regechtimes via MSN.com)

That being said, it is no surprise that the President of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, has refused the offer of the Trump Administration to work hand in hand with them by bringing our military down to help them clean out the cartels and stop the flow of criminals and Fentanyl into our Sovereign Nation.

Even though the President of Mexico has allowed the Trump Administration to fly drones over the known area of operations of the cartels in the caves of Mexico, she refuses to allow troops on the ground.

That does not make a whole lot of sense except for the fact that they are afraid of the power of the United States.

And, there has been a history of corruption in both the municipal governments of Mexico and the Federales.

This corruption in their government has allowed the cartels to work with impunity, spreading their Criminal Empires throughout the country, leading to violence and addiction even in the wealthy gated communities and Tourist Meccas like Cancun and Cozumel.

If the Mexican Government would relent and allow us to come in and help them chop off the head of the snake, eliminating the cartels, whom President Trump has designated as terrorist organizations, it would mean less criminal activities such as human trafficking, the sale of Fentanyl and other illegal drugs, robberies, rates and murders in both the United States of America and Mexico.

Unfortunately, the problem of governmental corruption is not so easily dealt with, as Trump and his administration are finding out.

Until He Comes,
