How Labeling Cartels ‘Terrorists’ Could Hurt the U.S. Economy​

New York Times Complains Labeling Mexican Cartels Terrorist Organizations Will ‘Hurt The U.S. Economy’​

As Donald Trump gets to work on his agenda, left-wing media organizations like The New York Times are already making fools of themselves.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terror organizations.
In certain portions of Mexico, they function as quasi-governmental entities, controlling nearly all aspects of society.

I agree fuck the NY Times but they may actually have a point. My guess is 50% (if not more) of the legitimate businesses in mexico are partially or wholly owned by the cartels. They have to put all that money somewhere. It's too easy to track and confiscate in the banking system so they just buy businesses. They essentially own the avocado industry in mexico because they went to all the farms and made them an offer they couldn't refuse. I suspect they did that with a lot of legitimate businesses. (My son likes a mexican soda brand called jarritos which I always refer to as "cartel soda"). With so many connections to legitimate businesses it is possible that going after the cartels could disrupt alot of legitimate trade between mexico and the US. That shouldn't stop us from going after the cartels but we should be aware of the consequences.

You're not wrong. But that's a price I'm willing to endure.

We should not be harming our country and society because we are worried we might lose cheap shit, or fun vacations, or different varieties of items. So be it. That goes for cheap shit from China, Mexico, etc. I don't want anybody our money going to the cartels, the CCP, the Taliban, corrupt countries governments. None of it. All should stop.

Gotta rip the bandaid off.

Getting the cartels out could just improve it.

Sure, they are probably propping up some junk business to launder their gains, but they are probably holding back good businesses just as much.

Mafia was forced to go legit....................does not kill 3500++ people each year.

War must be declared on Mexico, after the very first border skirmish with US Marines on the Arizona/New Mexico border.

Arrest that Mex Potus and hang her.................


Mexico is a failed state..like Libya, Yemen, and others.

Anything leftists say is 180° from the right thing to do. If NYT says something is bad it is therefore good.

LOL you have to hand it to the NYT. They can come up with some very serious bullshit. It takes a lot of brains to twist the truth that far.

Would it hurt some business, maybe, but it's a temporary pain, Once the Cartels are gone, things will return to 'normal'

It's like arguing the dismantling of the "Mafia" would be bad for NY... Where was the NYT then? Lol

Is a joke and agree, that it takes some talent to twist reality to such perversions! Imagine what they could accomplish if their efforts was for "Good"... Hahahaha

Poor demented souls!
