Have us bring in 500-100k troops and just abolish the cartels and the crops. Have us a couple of bases there and we help their police going forward with raids and arrests, until the its cleaned up and maintainable. And they also help secure the border from that side.

It would be a win all the way around for everyone. And before you speak of costs, it would immediately reduce the costs we already spend fighting all of this shite.

Too easy?

That guerrilla style warfare would be brutal and cost countless US lives too. And you'd have to establish a permanent police state to hold it together.

Well to be completely fair, I'm not sure if the poor bastards sent down to fight a well armed irregular army would consider this to be a "win" for them. It's Afghanistan without the beautiful landscape and friendly locals.

Nation building has never worked. Ever.

They must have the ability and desire to do it themselves. (Germany)

Easiest way? Arm every citizen in Mexico.

All of them.

In 10 years, the problem will have fixed itself.

This might be the most retarded shite I've seen on here in a while. That's impressive.

Can we give Mexico both Cali and Baja for the rest of Mexico?

I'm so on board with that. Mexicans are by and large good people in a shitty situation.

Californians are by and large utter dumbasses completely divorced from reality.

So...we have an issue with people coming across the border illegally and the plan here is to send in troops to fight what will become a heavily armed insurgency, which further destabilizes the country causing a humanitarian crisis that leads to even more people trying to cross the border?

The cartels might be more dangerous than ISIS. A lot of those guys are former military. Some are even former SF. As much as I would like to wipe out the cartels, it would be a legitimate conflict. There would be no room for PC bullshite.

Why not just legalize the drug trade and tell America it’s your problem what comes in
