Trump’s War on Cartels: A New Approach to Border Security
In a move that’s sending shockwaves through both sides of the border, the Trump administration is gearing up for an unprecedented crackdown on Mexican drug cartels. The cornerstone of this strategy? Designating these criminal organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). This isn’t just tough talk; it’s a game-changer that could redefine how America tackles its border crisis and the deadly fentanyl epidemic ravaging our communities.
Let’s cut through the noise: this isn’t just about immigration. It’s about national security, plain and simple. The Biden administration’s open-border fiasco has turned our southern frontier into a welcome mat for criminals and their poison. Trump’s plan? Hit ’em where it hurts. By slapping the FTO label on these cartels, we’re not just talking about building walls anymore – we’re talking about freezing assets, blocking entry, and bringing the full weight of anti-terrorism laws down on these thugs.
….through their country and our Southern Border. Mexico has for many years made a fortune off of the U.S., far greater than Border Costs. If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States throug our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING…..

Mexico’s Sovereignty: A Convenient Shield for Cartels?
Predictably, Mexico’s government is crying foul, claiming this move tramples on their sovereignty. But let’s get real: when your neighbor’s house is on fire and they’re too busy arguing about who owns the garden hose, sometimes you’ve got to step in. These cartels aren’t just Mexico’s problem anymore – they’re America’s problem, and it’s high time we treated them as such.
Trump’s not mincing words, and neither should we. These cartels are terrorist organizations in all but name. They’re flooding our streets with fentanyl, turning Mexican law enforcement into their personal puppets, and treating our border like their own private highway. It’s time we called a spade a spade and a terrorist a terrorist.
A Republican Majority: The Path to Action
With Republicans potentially controlling the White House, Senate, and House, we’re looking at a perfect storm for actually getting something done. No more hand-wringing, no more excuses. Texas Rep. Chip Roy’s got the right idea: we need to give the executive branch the tools it needs to crush these cartels once and for all.
“What we need to do is make sure that legally we are approaching cartels as the dangerous organizations that they are, and I think an FTO designation is appropriate,” Texas Rep. Chip Roy said.
The left will whine, they’ll moan, they’ll trot out their tired old talking points about compassion and human rights. But here’s a hard truth they need to swallow: there’s nothing compassionate about letting murderers and drug dealers run amok in our country. Trump’s plan isn’t just tough – it’s necessary. It’s time to secure our borders, protect our citizens, and show these cartels that America’s patience has run out. The war on drugs? It’s about to become a war on terror, and it’s high time we started fighting to win.
