Yes, Mexico moves 10k reserves to the border… to twiddle their thumbs there. And Canada agreed to invest 1.5 billion in the border they already agreed to with Biden. Epic win!
México is having a huge problem with the narcos and keeps getting worse, if only we had elements to spare to combat this problem… But hey, sending them to the border to harrass migrants and then give them to the same narcos is an epic win, right?
Yeah, how to combat the narcos is a real issue… I’m willing to bet military force won’t solve it though.
The moment the expresident said the strategy would be “hugs, not bullets”, everything became even worse, it was basically “let them do as they please”, there were even videos of narcos walking by and making fun of the militia in their faces.
Thar strategy is still in place so… In different circumstances, it could have worked, with the current administration (which is completely under the narcos control) it’s pointless and will only lead to the harassment of the migrants.
I’d imagine mexico needs an El Salvador type approach. Not a Duterte type approach …
It would have to be backed with better quality of life for the citizens… So it’s never gonna happen
I could imagine removing every gang tattooed individual from Mexican society would bring much improvement in and by itself, no?
