TRUMP: We’re Thinking ‘Very Seriously’ About Designating Mexican Cartels as Foreign Terrorist Orgs
Why wouldn't they be??? They extort money from people, kill small villages and anyone they please and force govs to bend to their will. Of course this could be used to send OUR troops to fight in yet some other foreign war...
Breitbart exclusive
12 Mar 2019Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump told Breitbart News on Monday that his administration is thinking “very seriously” about labeling violent Mexican drug cartels, or factions of these cartels, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
Asked by Deputy Political Editor Amanda House during a wide-ranging, exclusive Oval Office interview with Breitbart News whether his administration is considering designating factions of cartels, or cartels as a whole, as terrorist groups, Trump replied that he is.
“We are. We are,” Trump said. “We’re thinking about doing it very seriously. In fact, we’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
“It’s psychological, but it’s also economic,” Trump continued. “As terrorists — as terrorist organizations, the answer is yes. They are.”
The president went on to discuss the violence taking place in Mexico.
“Mexico, unfortunately, has lost control of the cartels,” Trump said. “They’ve totally lost control of the cartels. Mexico last year had 42,000 deaths — murders — 42,000. It’s considered one of the most unsafe countries in the world.”
“Now, I’m with them. I really like the new president. He’s a wonderful guy, but you know, 42,000 murders. A lot of it is drug-induced,” Trump continued.
Recalling his recent trips to the border in January and February, the president commented on how little media attention the horrors on the border receive, stating:
**When I was down on the border in Rio Grande three weeks ago, they had 26 people killed right near where I was. **And it was a gang fight, and they were buried on the site. That was right near the area that I was at. The papers don’t even write about it. You know, did you read about the 26 people killed? You don’t even read about it.
Back in January, Trump visited McAllen, Texas, and toured the border with Texas Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and John Cornyn (R-TX). In nearby Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, in Mexico, just about a two-hour drive away from McAllen, at about the same time, as Breitbart News’ Cartel Chronicles team reported then, cartel violence that resulted in two large-scale gun battles claimed the lives of 30 people. The Cartel Chronicles team of Breitbart News published several graphic photographs of the aftermath of the gun battles.

Mexico is a narco state and has been for three decades. New Mexico, Arizona, California and Texas are on the verge of narco status.

Already have a couple of varying calibers.
Each has its uses depending on the target and location.

It seems obvious that this has more to do with setting up charges for big fish. If people like Obama, Noname, HRC can be proven to have been working with the cartel (or you know, money laundering for them) wouldn't that make them vulnerable to all of those sanctions and tribunals Trump EO'd?

Giving money to a terrorist organization; aiding a terrorist organization; etc. Military could be spun up kinetically against a terrorist organization.

Sorry but godsangell has been known to spread false information and when called out for it, she attacks fellow Patriots and calls them trolls. I'm cautious on OP, that doesnt make me a idiot.

Should this pan out, I wonder how many of the new terrorists will flip on the C_A once they've been captured?

they are currently classified as a charitable organization
[–] Jimmycrackerson ago (edited ago)
Yeah, by the criminal justice system, and the profit prisons that are packed with non-violent drug offenders.
They don't want to stop the charitable cartels because that would affect their own livelihood. And they may become irrelevant.
That's why were only seriously thinking about it...and not already obliterated the fuckers. Believe me, our military has been itching to crush the cartels for a looong time. But instead, someone's had them guarding poppy fields and clearing the way for big oil and pipelines on the other side of the world.
