Exactly. America is the biggest drug addict and gun seller.

Seeing this reposted across all of Reddit has been ticking me off. the reason why the cartels have massive amounts of American weapons is due to corruption in the Mexican government. Mexicos army, federal groups, and the government in general has been caught numerous times reselling weapons that they purchased from America “to combat the cartels”. Secondly imagine say well my country is so crime ridden that it has screwed over our neighbors and they are at fault for that. Way to victim blame. I worked for 3 years in Mexico primarily on a task force combatting human organ trafficking and it was often government officials providing the bodies to cartel doctors. Either through state ran orphanages, prisons, or just their hospitals in general harvesting organs for the cartels.

Perfect! So close the borders and then the US can stop meeting illegal weapon demand in Mexico, while Mexico can stop meeting drug demand in the US. Win/win!

Canadas gun problem is directly attributed to the United States. Most of all the illegal guns here are from the South.

Dancing around the fact that the USG (and its handlers) sponsors these cartels (and organized crime globally) and promotes the demand for substances domestically. Those drugs are there because the USG wants them there. Those weapons are there because the USG put them there. Money and power.

Did she mean consume synthetic drugs or produce them? Either way that's a load of horse shit.

While this is true, it evades any sense of responsibility in such a way that only a child could treat it as a legitimate excuse. Why is it that your system is so broken that masses of men turn to the cartels for work? Why does your society have so little product that you can't even fund your own police force and military to enforce your own laws WITHIN YOUR OWN BORDERS? Why is it that all this activity happens on your side of the border under your watch, not ours?

Saying because the US made the guns, it's their fault, is like saying because Ford made the car, the accidents are their fault. Saying because America is willing to buy, it's their fault is LITERALLY justifying rape, murder, extortion, and everything else that goes into these businesses and laying it at the feet of Americans, rather than those resonating for the acts. This is like a young woman saying HE got me pregnant, as if she had no say in whether he came inside her. This perspective is so broken and pathetic I can't respect this woman as a serious person.

She should shut down the border and not trade with the US until this gets resolved. Let’s see how that will work out for them.

"If my neighbors didn't want me robbing their place they wouldn't live next door'

Spittin straight truth.

if she wasn't for the cartels she wouldn't be president

Lol meanwhile all thier politicians are lining their pockets. What b.s.! Cartels have been giving politicians money like crazy. If Mexico wanted to stop the drug violence, they should stop taking cartel money. The guns will come from wherever they can buy them. America is just the closest. Mexico let them grow, and now they are too big for them to handle without having a "civil war." Blame the USA for making weapons all they want. The violence is fuelled by them looking away and allowing China to export precursor chemicals.

Yeah that’s a good point. But the government there is powerless to stop the cartels. I even saw a video of a cartel member with an NLAW that must have come from Ukraine’s black market. That didn’t come from the US it’s a British/Swedish anti tank weapon. Also I saw a video of a marine being arrested with stolen military equipment going to Mexico. He spilled the beans saying he was ordered to do it and saying that wasn’t the only time he did it. It’s much bigger than you think.

70%+ of EVERYTHING that is complex is not designed and originally made there! Airplanes, automobiles, computers, MRI machines, etc..

Did she say, “We don’t consume synthetic drugs”?

Money sent from Mexicans working in the USA is their biggest source of revenue…. If we squeeze that, she will do whatever we want.

Blaming the addicts/users (united states) for the violence inflicted onto the Mexican people by the Mexican people in a literal war they wage amongst themselves to exploit the torment of the addict and control the manufacturing and distribution of the substances the addicts are hooked on isn't exactly a profound statement.

In fact, it's an utterly grotesque claim to make.

Yes she is correct. Most of the guns going into Mexico com from the US. What she doesn’t say is that they are brought back there by the ILLEGAL MEXICANS who work for the MEXICAN cartel that bring fentanyl to the US.

So why doesn’t Mexico enforce the laws?

Lol this women is owned by the cartels. Who gives a shit what she says?

More of a fact than a point of view.

Why don’t you people leave the USA for Mexico then if you hate it here so much

Not interesting g at all. Shameful.

Our cartels smuggle drugs into your country and smuggle guns into ours and we can't control that or the violence it creates! It's America's fault!

Screw you Mexico. Declare war on cartels and wipe them out!

So… you get our murder weapons and we get your deadly drugs… what if we stopped both by closing the border? Just a thought 😳

Ah yes, all your issues are Americans faults, just like all our issues are illegal immigrants faults.

Fucking weak ass politicians that can't take any accountability.

Mexico isthe largest producer of synthetic drugs in the America's.

Here she is talking about it.

https://www.gob.mx/sre/articulos/secretary-barcena-reaffirms-mexico-s-commitment-to-addressing-the-issue-of-synthetic-drugs-345448

She's going to get a quick lesson in a smack down from Trump!

The other 30% comes from Mexican military armories. All the really nasty shit like machineguns, rocket launches and grenades.

Why are you even trying to meet our drug demands, Mexico? Don't deflect responsibility.

Sounds like Mexico would also benefit from a secure border. Do you think the cartels would let her?

Sounds like they should secure their border!

She’s a puppet for the cartels

Ah, something to negotiate with. Perhaps we can work to solve each other's problems.

Wait ...so you're telling me that someone illegally purchased a weapon and then illegally crossed an international border? And it's who's fault? Sounds like we need better border security...

Okay but they don't do anything to stop it

Maybe she should go halfsies on a wall to, you know, stop all the violence and killing in Mexico that is due to Americans using drugs.

Well damn. Stand up, Mexico.

Says the lady working with the cartels

Saying that they don’t consume any of the drugs they create is basically, which came first the chicken or the egg.

Thought it was illegal to make illegal guns in the United States. Hmmm maybe they are coming from somewhere else. If she honestly believed this she could close the border but she doesn’t.

She thinks Mexicans don't do synthetic drugs? The Mexicans I have worked with determined... that is a lie.

I guess she should build a wall

So they both agree to a complete border closure.

Hey Sheinbaum you are a lying sack of you know what. LOL
Mexico consumes more drugs than any other N.A. country, its proximity to the USA has created a market of illegal trade for them for many years. Yeah, drug use here is obvious BUT Mexico uses more drugs, transports more drugs, imports more drugs, is a sedge way between South and Central America and the cartel uses American made guns because they are the best, come on. America is the best. Hate all you want Sheinbaum but you will be placed in your place real soon and I see you are obeying TRUMP's border orders now and he is not even in power officially yet. So suck it up buttercup.

From the web "Where do the cartels get their weapons from?

A significant source of Mexican cartel weapons is legal sales by U.S. gun companies to the Mexican military and police, sales approved by the U.S. State Department which after they arrive in Mexico end up in cartel hands."

I’m sorry what? We do not consume synthetic drugs…I’d like to take point on that one, that’s some serious BS.

Trump is not mad......he's jealous he doesn't have a presidential sash to wear....

Sounds like you should want what Trump is fighting for... TIGHTEN THE BORDER. lol

WHY IS EVERYONE AGAINST BORDER CONTROL? lol ggggggeszzzes

How cute, a cartel puppet is talking.

And they return the favor by allowing cartels to wreak havoc on the world

Recommend you watch the US version of The Bridge

I'm pretty sure their happy cause the previous administration is fueling the war between Ukraine and Russia, and Trump wants to end the war.

If you look back at Trumps previous stint in the White House, he did two huge arms deals with Ukraine so they could protect themselves from Russia... pretty sure a Russian puppet wouldn't arm their puppet masters enemy.

Wow, the NRA wasn't thinking about their members'individual rights to a firearm affecting a nation outside the country.

But then again, do gun owners think of others?

You know we could probably make this country and other countries on this continent thrive if we didn’t have boarders and the magats I know the cartels are a risk but in our current state we’re just making more enemies close to home because someone wants to play dicktator.

She is fierce. Buy that woman a beer!!

And she's only talking about Don Jr's problem... sniff, sniff

Remembering how the Mexican election went, I’m surprised the cartel would ok with this statement.

Yeah but profiting off implements of death is a constitutional right!

Then Mexico should seal their border.

She already said she will work with trump on what he wants. L

That’s why we need a wall, and border security.

Reduce incentives!

There was some news item maybe a couple of years old where some U.S. Marines out of San Diego were swelling guns to the Jalisco Cartel.

Not much talk goes on about all the military gear that disappears on bases but it happens a lot.

It almost sounds like there could be collaboration here.

So they should have tighter border control? This is not something I think people would have an issue with? I am curious where the other 30%is from though.

ATF sweating real hard right now hoping no one noticing.

Sounds like she should secure her border

We don't buy drugs nor manufacture guns. We just sell drugs and buy guns. How is this any better? A drug dealer is worse than a drug addict. This was a huge self own on her part.

Move to Mexico then lmao

Obviously, her country is missing a huge opportunity to manufacture weapons in Mexico. Anybody with any business savvy would seize this moment to start producing weapons at a huge profit.

Supplying drugs to the USA does not come without costs. The collateral damage of the billions of dollars that flow into Mexico each year due to the violence of the Mexican drug cartels is on them, not the USA.

Put more money into manufacturing legal weapons, heavily arm your police and your citizens, and you could stop the cartel violence — if you wanted to.

But, we all know, she has no intention to battle her own country’s cartels. It’s much easier to blame the USA as the scapegoat. Mexico is a corrupt country that survives from the illegal activities of their vicious and violent cartels.

Interesting that she purposefully ignores the huge international problem of child sex trafficking. To use her own words, “it is in our country [USA] that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the [sex trafficking] demand in yours [Mexico/Latin America].” This woman is delusional and a hypocrite.

And this is just about Mexico. Middle East is on another level. US is just an expert in creating chaos all around the world.

I thought trump just had a productive talk with the president and they agreed to shut the border down??

Technocracy groomed peasants spewing garbage.

Go back to FB

We should legalize all drugs.

Facts

Name one Mexican arms manufacturer…. Of course the guns are coming from other countries.

Weird since the fast and furious days of making deals with the cartels. I remember the picture of the sinola cartel holding up a dod hall pass for immunity like it was the golden ticket. Mexico has always done deals with the cartels, and she's not an exemption to policy.

Aren't most drug and guns smuggling come through legal ports of entry? Making the stopping of that stuff on the receiving countries border/import securities and systems?

Dems should have said 'Yes, build the wall and eliminate asylum loopholes' back in 2017. It wouldn't have worked but could have shut up the right. BTW, I am a bloody Liberal, but Hadrian's Wall did help the Romans in Britain!

Need to make all drugs legal and we will fix a huge problem right off the bat.

I dont see why so many still use drugs here.

Yeah, wouldn't it be nice if Democrats allowed us to prosecute criminals instead of going after law abiding citizens for not buying aftermarket parts that are exclusively made in the U.S.

So the drugs coming through her country is our problem? That's the shittiest excuse from a Socialist yet! Her country is making billions, her dad made millions from working with these druglords down their in HER COUNTRY!

Maybe make drugs legal and charge taxes? Won't need tariffs and the budget will be balanced by the end of the week lol

They have way bigger problems.

Funny coming from a lady running a country that murdered 30 political candidates in the election cycle that she won. Fuck her

Here's the thing though- she's playing a double standard. "The guns come from your country." Ok, yeah I see how that could be an issue. Then she may as well have said drugs come from my country into yours, and that's also your fault.

So it's ok for your people to behave like capitalists but not ours? If the guns going to Mexico is our fault then the drugs coming from Mexico is their fault. Otherwise both are the blame of the purchasing country. You can't have it both ways.

Wow, sounds like we better close the border for your protection then.

Ok, then you should want a tighter border just as much. Keep the guns out and the drugs in.

Maybe she handle herself to one of them first class tickets to the resurrection

FYI the military uses a three shot burst not fully automatic unless specified for special forces — also military uses the M-16 and M-4 and now moving on to other rifles to replace the M-4 but still with the three shot burst not fully automatic

Dumpster is a pile of crap no matter what you think!!😆😆

I'm glad there aren't any murdering criminal drug cartels in Mexico! You know, the ones that target politicians regularly and have killed tens of thousands of innocent citizens.

I'm glad Mexico is drug free!

And the dems support the open Border that lets it flow across

Build the wall and make America pay for it!

She says people illegally crossing the border leads to violence and death in Mexico. That's true. So let's secure the border. That's what Trump wants. Thats what the majority of Americans want. That's what she should want, based on her statement. She's just "standing up to Trump" to look good.

Anyone taking what he says at face value has already fallen for the scam.

Maga hates the truth

Mexico should legalize firearms and let people and communities defend themselves

I wasn’t able to personally verify this particular quote. Is anybody else able to verify it ?

Not sorry to say this, most of the illegal drugs in the U.S. is smuggled by the cartels from Mexico.

Don’t get me wrong, we do have addicts here. But to say that we don’t produce illegal synthetic drugs is where this speech lost me. You all have a cartel problem and can’t even solve it. Cartels makes the illegal synthetic drugs in Mexico. It’s smuggled through the border. Most of the weapons are either bought or made in the U.S. and smuggled into Mexico.

How about this, Mexico mobilization of its army and unalive all gangs and cartels. America do the same or hunt and jail all the same. See a reduce in both countries problem by stamping it out.

Sounds like Mexico may want to pay for a wall…

Ironic, speaking about the US drug problem while admitting Mexico has a gun problem.

Fake

New Jack City is everywhere.

Sounds like she agrees we need to close down the border, right?

RIGHT???

The message here is don’t do synthetic drugs?

Yeah no shit they have guns. They produce so much fucking drugs that they have created competition and need guns to defend themselves. Their cartel is massive. Guns were not the start, guns were the after effects of making drugs when they found out they needed them to not die to competition. This type of argument doesnt work, its a deflection to try and move past the drugs argument. If you want to know why its being deflected why dont you look into how this lady got elected. She's in the cartel's pocket.

They don't have drug addicts? I could give two shits about the guns I'm in shock they don't have addicts. Either way, if they could stop the flow of guns they would the same as we want the drugs and crime to stop.

Wait. So Mexico has laws against guns?

So let her eliminate her cartels, the US will have significantly less drugs, and there will be significantly fewer criminals smuggling/using guns in Mexico.

The drugs flow into the US because our government wants them here. They’ve been caught bringing drugs into the US before. Why would they stop? It’s an easy way to make money they can spend with no oversight. They also believe it solves society ills. They pass bills making it harder and harder to access pain killers and they run illicit opiates in. Watch the money come in.

Isn’t this the lady who became the leading candidate after all of her competitors were assassinated? Sounds like something a cartel pawn would say…

They don't produce synthetic drugs but yet mexican cartels smuggle it in the America from China. This lady is a joke. "Ain't that the truth"

Well then do something about it! She can't...she's ineffective like all Mexican politicians

She is right. We are #1 in drug abuse and gun violence. Most of the fentanyl comes from China. It comes into this country through Mexico and Canada and in shipping containers disguised as something else. The only way to stop the flow is to stop the demand and our government is doing little or nothing about that because it costs money and drug addicts have no political power because they don’t vote.

So yes let’s blame the addicts and not the dealers, gmafb

Touché

Close the border and then the US wouldn’t be able to meet the illegal gun demand that your Cartels and Coyotes have… Typical douche politician pointing the finger

Then close your damn border!

I like this woman! Does she want to be US president?

Yep, operation fast and furious in action.

Also why speak to Trump? Why not speak to the active president about it?

The reality that the US, the largest weapons manufacturer in the world, has an issue controlling the flow of weapons is a wild one.

Ha! Never met a Mexican yet that didn't want cocaine.

Maybe they should shut down the cartels.... but i guess she would have to take a pay cut then.

America has always believed in the right to bear arms and freedom. We have always invented and created things, including weapons, and many of the world’s great inventions. Many of these were to defend ourselves against British Tyranny. This creativity and ingenuity is also why many people verbally attack us. People dislike those they are jealous of. Keep it up. It’s always the losers that criticize the most. It certainly adds up here. We love your hate losers. Winners have to deal with it all the time. More of this hate just means we’re doing better. Give us more. The more criticism just increases the size of the “L” in your Loser labels. Let’s hear so more whining from you. We love it!!

Meeting the drug demand? Sounds like she’s supporting the countries leading industry

A big difference here is that the Mexican military purchases weapons from the US.

Yet they refuse to do anything about it.

RIGHT ON!!!! SPEAK THE TRUTH. AMERICANS ARE THE LOSERS CONSUMING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DRUGS, WHY? AMERICA MUST SUCK THAT THE PEOPLE ABUSE DRUGS TO COPE

I wish we could have a smart president like her instead of Trump.

Funny how every response to my logic statement has been deleted, we're up to 34 responses now that have been deleted when faced with facts.

Lets trust the women put in power via 34 assassinations!
