There are systems (e.g. Israel) where you vote for the Party, and killing one member (even if currently the one in line for the job) just gets the next in line.
Might could be it’s time Mexico adopted that for now.

Trump, note to self: could learn something from Mexico.
(Obviously a joke, because a) Trump can’t take notes, and b) can’t learn anything.)

I don’t know if replacing elected representatives with a roster of party hacks would be a win.

It would seem that maintaining good relations with Mexico and helping them bring down the cartels would be in the best interest of both of our countries. But hey, lets just throw up an expensive piece of concrete between us and hope the problems all go away.

If shows like Breaking Bad and Narcos taught me anything, it’s that borders don’t do much to stop drug traffickers or gang members.

That’s the campaign promise that the cartels always offer. Plata o Plomo.

I was reading that gangs were sending drugs over the existing border wall using a catapult - that they had built onto the wall itself. A taller wall literally means a longer-range drug-delivery system.

I keep hearing that tourists rarely get in the middle of this violence. Seems like that most interesting man would be a good candidate.
Legalize drug production? Would that even stop the violence?
Depends on whether the state still wants to crack down on corruption after all the crime lords shift their assets over to real estate.

Who would YOU rather fight? Well armed, hardened Narcos or kids throwing rocks at the border or peaceful migrants.

Mexico needs to start pointing its weapons outward.
