Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is the Mexican government currently an ally and partner of the US?

Has the Mexican government failed in its obligation to exercise full sovereignty over its own territory? Joshua discusses new research from the US government which shows 35-40% of Mexican territories are now under the control of cartels – and that number is increasing every day.

Is there evidence that the cartels and the Mexican government work hand-in-hand?

Is the Mexican government allowing cartels to use Mexican territory as a base of operations against the US? Joshua reveals that the current Mexican President has publicly expressed his willingness to defend the cartels from any American action.

Are cartels along the southern border better armed than most of the American Border Security Agents and other American law enforcement agencies?

For decades, the US has had a good trade relationship with Mexico. Is this relationship in danger due to the overwhelming cartel activity? Joshua says: “We cannot wreck our society and our democratic civics on the altar of that trade.”

Is every home and family in America negatively impacted by cartels who freely operate south of our border?

Is it our government’s responsibility to ensure the safety of all US citizens?

Why is the Texas Public Policy Foundation involved in this issue? Joshua reminds us that elections are important and we must contact our elected representatives on this important issue.
