Mexico doesn’t really check vehicles coming into the country either. That’s something they could start doing. I know I’ve only been stopped one time out of maybe 20 but granted I’m not transporting a firearm.

Downvotes for the truth i guess. Obviously there’s way too many guns but if you don’t even check at the entrance then that’s definitely an area for improvement

So the cartels, who profit directly from the high demand of drugs by Americans, were given weapons, by Americans, to meet that demand of drugs. They then essentially hijacked the mexican government with those guns and violence in order to keep their drug supply available to Americans, meanwhile destroying hope for peaceful life for many many towns and people in mexico. But it's the Mexicans trying to escape those problems, once again created by demand in the US, who are the problem?

How very fucking American.

You know who doesn't have a fentanyl problem? Mexico. They're not the ones creating demand.

I'm simplifying, I know, but I'm very fucking tired of Mexicans and South Americans being blamed as if the US hadn't fucked the entire country and almost the entire South American continent over for the last 50 years.

I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here but fuck man I'm just tired.
