#1 Well, go after the cartels' means. Cut off the real flow of drugs north and the flow of money and imagined flow of guns south with a real border. Had Madame Clinton and her fellow Senators done that years ago, Mexico indeed would have avoided the a lot of the present deadly unrest. This is what transnationalistic policies to stuff the local ballot boxes get everyone.

#2 "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians."

Goodness! Isnt it taboo to use the term illegal when one discusses the US southern border these days? Perhaps from now on the Secretary can refrain from such vulgarity and refer to these mechanisms as Undocumented Siegecraft.

#3 The problem isn't guns really going south. That's in the left's narrative, to be used to gut the 2nd Amendment, which not grounded on fact. Even the LAT recognizes it.

Most of these weapons are being smuggled from Central American countries or by sea, eluding U.S. and Mexican monitors who are focused on the smuggling of semiautomatic and conventional weapons purchased from dealers in the U.S. border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California

Don't forget that her husband Bill was asleep at the switch for eight years in the 1990's while drugs and illegal aliens flowed freely across the border.
