How many Americans are working for the Cartels? Are they related to the Cartels?
Putting fentanyl in other drugs and counterfeit pills shows they have no regard for the people that buy them. Blaming addicts may not play well politically either
Yes it’s true if there wasn’t a demand there would be no one to sell the drugs to. But I put more blame on people that sell drugs than on people who use drugs.I agree. My point is the blame lies with both parties.
I don't have the data. What I do have is being told numerous times that I'm taking my life into my own hands, and that there is no safe place for Americans to cross into Mexico, because of the Cartels, by Border Patrol, as I've crossed the Mexican border. I was told of the discovery of mass graves of Americans on the other side of a closed border crossing, when I asked at another border crossing why the other cross point was closed.I don't know. Occassionally I see American's arrested for working with the Cartel. My point is, you are assuming the homicides in Mexcio are due to the cartel. Unless you have some data, it's speculation.
Where did I present that analogy?Anyway, your original anlaogy, comparing the Mexico cartel with Russia doesn't make any sense.
So we're going to stoop to his level?If only Putin would heed such advice...
Why would this Administration feel threatened if Russia sends troops to Cuba?If Russia goes through with these threats, it will be the first time they followed through on a threat since the war started. Putin is smart enough to know that there are Americans (and others in the world) who will still take his threats seriously, if he makes them, despite his lack of actually following through with his threats. At the same time, Putin is smart enough to know that if he does follow through, it won't be good for either him or Russia -- the two things he is trying to protect and make great again.
I drove over the border this year and spent several days in Mexico. I've also flown into Mexico. Everything was fine. I think your sources are misinformed.I don't have the data. What I do have is being told numerous times that I'm taking my life into my own hands, and that there is no safe place for Americans to cross into Mexico, because of the Cartels, by Border Patrol, as I've crossed the Mexican border.

What I was told by my Mexican girlfriend, who I would travel to Mexico with to see her father, was that I need to be careful of being kidnapped, as the Cartels target Americans.
What I was told by an American friend of mine, who spent her youth traveling Mexico by foot, was for me to memorize her phone number, because I would probably lose my phone if I was kidnapped. She said if I was; that she would pay the ransom to free me.
Maybe I should ignore all of these people who are far more knowledgeable than I; because I haven't gathered the data to vet their unsupported claims regarding concerns for my well being?
Was this before you were in Portland? You seem to travel a lotI drove over the border this year and spent several days in Mexico. I've also flown into Mexico. Everything was fine. I think your sources are misinformed.
What year vehicle were you driving; and where did you cross? I was driving a new car when I crossed at Laredo. I stopped at the Information desk, before I crossed to get a heads up on anything that I might need to know about. She strongly advised me not to take my car across the bridge. She said that the cartels have scouts waiting at the bridge, looking for valuable vehicles. They get on the phone and give a tag and description of the vehicle to those who will follow the vehicle, until the time is right for a carjacking. I crossed on foot. It didn't go well in Nuevo Laredo. I made that crossing alone. To make a long story short; I felt relived that I made it back out safely. I told my doctor about the trip. His father (Mexican American) lives in Laredo. He told me that I had made a big mistake crossing over there; that it just isn't safe there.I drove over the border this year and spent several days in Mexico. I've also flown into Mexico. Everything was fine. I think your sources are misinformed.
Mass graves of Americans? You'd think something like that would have been in the news.I was told of the discovery of mass graves of Americans on the other side of a closed border crossing, when I asked at another border crossing why the other cross point was closed.
President Joseph R. Biden is too old to “effectively serve” another four-year term, according to a new poll.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found more than three-quarters of adults surveyed, or 77%, believe Mr. Biden, 80, is too old to run for reelection.

One might think.Mass graves of Americans? You'd think something like that would have been in the news.
This is a reference to a mass grave with Americans, while this is what you claimed.At least two of the almost 200 bodies buried in a series of mass graves in Tamaulipas, northern Mexico, belong to U.S. citizens, adding to the small but growing number of Americans killed in Mexico.
Mass graves of Americans.I was told of the discovery of mass graves of Americans on the other side of a closed border crossing, when I asked at another border crossing why the other cross point was closed.

Mass graves of Americans.
I've lived in Texas for 35 years. I'm more than familiar with reports of cartel related mass graves. Your assertion was that there was mass graves (plural) OF Americans. Your article was for a mass grave WITH TWO Americans. That's not mass graves OF Americans.It took me less that two minutes to find that article.
That's nice.BTW, if you read the article carefully; you'll see authorities are not sure how many Americans were in that grave.
I would encourage you to make your vote count in the Republican Primary.Sure would be nice if the Republicans could give us a viable alternative.
