Mexico's president says he won't fight drug cartels on US orders, calls it a 'Mexico First' policy
Mexico’s president says he won’t fight drug cartels on U.S. orders, in the clearest explanation yet of his refusal to confront the gangs.
You're viewing a single thread.
If there's a better policy that helps Mexico as a whole which isn't what the US wants, I'd love to hear it. Something tells me "not fighting drug cartels" isn't it.
Legalising and taxing all drugs.
That wouldn’t help
The problem isn’t drug use in Mexico, the problem is drugs going to the US
Yes to the first part but what do you think would happen to the American drug market if they did that?
I don’t forsee mass immigration of Americans to Mexico
Neither do I. I'm not sure of your point?
That legalization of drugs in Mexico isn’t going to get rid of cartels
That is very obvious in my first comment where I say it won’t help
Okay but you are aware that you just declared it wouldn't help, despite evidence to the contrary right?

It cuts into their profits given them less clout and less reason to kill each other. As such, it will help, as can be seen with the example of weed.
Edit: in fact, the only reason drugs remain illegal at all is because some very wealth and powerful people make too much money from it remaining so. Well, that and so the CIA can fund illegal wars around the world.
You are aware that your articles talk about American legalization and are irrelevant to the topic at hand because the Mexican president doesn’t not hold jurisdiction over the US
Of course I'm aware.
Wait, are you trying to tell me you think it wouldn't translate into helping, if they did it on the other side of the boarder too? I have to check because that's pretty wild.
There will still be people to sell to in the US
Thats literally the point I'm making. I don't get what you don't get here.

Mexico is on my short list of places to move if homelessness gets to close to me. But for no other reason.
I think we were talking about homeless and drug addicts moving there
Adding to your comment, I think they should have different percentages of taxing as well. For example heroin should be taxed way higher than cannabis.
What makes you think you know what is better for Mexico gringo?
I'm judging from the back benches like everyone else here. I know enough to say "policy declared by Mexico's president" is not necessarily equal to "the best policy for Mexico."
I thought you and yours were twoo believuhs in democracy, what's good guero
The average American mind really can't conceive of a situation where additional militarization wouldn't solve the problem. Every single conflict. Everywhere there's instability. They can only think of one solution: send the drones/missiles/troops
When your very existence is a hammer, everyone looks like a nail ig.
