A growing number of prominent Republicans are rallying around the idea that to solve the fentanyl crisis, America must bomb it away.

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has discussed sending “special forces” and using “cyber warfare” to target cartel leaders if he’s reelected president and, per Rolling Stone, asked for “battle plans” to strike Mexico. Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) introduced a bill seeking authorization for the use of military force to “put us at war with the cartels.” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said he is open to sending U.S. troops into Mexico to target drug lords even without that nation’s permission. And lawmakers in both chambers have filed legislation to label some cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, a move supported by GOP presidential aspirants.

I returned recently from the State of Guerro, one of the "no travel" states per the US Government. The cartels move from state to state so you will see travel bans issued by the US change from time to time. I can tell you that the cartels operate easily down there as the general public has no defense against anything due to poverty. Those with money are in bed with the government and the cartels. Everyone is on the take so you don't know who your friends are for long. It would be quite easy IMHO to take out the cartels as they are not that sophisticated, just brutal bullies.
