    Yes, Mexico moves 10k reserves to the border… to twiddle their thumbs there. And Canada agreed to invest 1.5 billion in the border they already agreed to with Biden. Epic win!

      México is having a huge problem with the narcos and keeps getting worse, if only we had elements to spare to combat this problem… But hey, sending them to the border to harrass migrants and then give them to the same narcos is an epic win, right?

        You understand the role of the narcos is narcotic trafficking, and not a blanket name for “the bad hombres” across the border? The Mexican National Guard being present at the border can and will hamper the drug traffic to the north, and I don’t see how they will ‘give them to the same narcos’.

        If anything, is the county and state forces that would do shit like that, because they’re easier to corrupt and often work with the drug cartels in their region because if they don’t cooperate, they will be fired, with gunshots.

        Yeah, how to combat the narcos is a real issue… I’m willing to bet military force won’t solve it though.

          War on drugs certainly is not the answer to problem. Education & harm reduction, decriminalization, and supply-side testing (re: no accidental fent in your coke) would be a welcomed cultural shift forward. Prohibition will only continue to dig us deeper with folks in prison, murder, and underground trafficking schemes.
