It absolutely can be.

What do the laws of economics tell you regarding a 15 billion dollar business?

(I know you can't answer, it's rhetorical)

Cartels exist because we fund them with drug money, and NGO money.

Exactly.

All they do is exploit overregulation inefficiencies. Its a very lucrative industry.

Where there is proft, people will take risks. You cant defeat them because another "cartel" will replace them quickly

I see a Blackwater cartel in the future with Eric Prince as the new El Chapo.

Don't think for a minute that the privateers won't be making a lot of tax free unreported monies while collecting taxpayer money

Im sure they will. But in order to collect US money they need to keep the border clean.

They can do it more effectively than the Mexican Govt.

"See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel. That's literally true."

Jamie Butzman.
Look it up soldiers of fortune, hired killers, and bad mofos of TD.

Jamie was a kid from Covington talking shite about the cartels. Jamie was publicly beheaded in Mexico.
