After an attack by drug cartels that killed 9 Americans, including 6 children, President Trump offered to take up arms alongside Mexico in order to retaliate against the cartels and finally put a stop to these terrible and frequent acts of violence.
But Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador rejected President Trump’s offer.
Mexico’s president has determined that there is an even better approach to dealing with these money-hungry, extremely violent and deadly drug cartels. He says “hugs, not bullets” is the answer.
President Obrador said, “It was lamentable, painful because children died, but do we want to resolve the problem the same way (as previous administrations)? By declaring war? That, in the case of our country, showed that it does not work. That was a failure. It caused more violence.”
“We are carrying out a different policy because the policy that was applied during 36 years was a resounding failure and it caused a lot of damage, a lot of sadness, a lot of deaths, a lot of losses for Mexicans. We will not continue with the same and we will show that our proposal works, despite it not being easy. We are confident that we will achieve good results.”
Seriously? He thinks that basically a pacifist stance on the matter will convince criminals to just start doing the right thing?
According to Fox News,
All the victims are believed to be members of the extended LeBaron family, who live in a religious community in La Mora, northern Mexico, a decades-old settlement in Sonora state founded as part of an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around 70 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mexican officials announced late Tuesday that a suspect was arrested near the Arizona-Mexico border in connection to the deaths. The suspect was holding two hostages who were bound and gagged inside a vehicle, which was bulletproof and contained four assault-type rifles, officials said.
For years I’ve supported Mexicans and their country, despite its graft and corruption but no more. A few years back my brother worked with a Mexican. He is a citizen because his mother sneaked into Texas to birth him in the US; then took him back to be raised there. He despised our country, only working here for the money.
Mexico does not accept our help because it is riddled with corruption. They are not our friend.
We should return o our original immigration policy. People wanting to live here and become a citizen must meet these standards.
1 Proof of support, or a guaranteed job;
2 clean health check;
3 skills needed here
4 not eligible for government support
5 commitment for citizenship or leave if not a citizen within 10 years
Agree if you want to move to so american countrie you have to do all of the above and pay a fee to go there to live!
Basically, like all the prior Mexican Presidents before him, just raise the amount the cartels have to pay the federal politicians not to swoop down with the army.
you know this guy got some serious payola in his pocket.
Some K-Y in his pocket too.
I say we booby trap the area between the two walls! We also put electric fences up with mega volts running through them. We also place steel sheets below ground and electrify them as well! This way anyone trying to run drugs under ground will have those tunnels as their coffin!
LMFAO!!! He says “hugs, not bullets” is the answer. Apparently, Obama did more than just bow down in front of President Paco!
Obama skinned his knees showing the Mexican President a thing or two.
Obviously you are incapable of handling your business, so the U.S. will have to do this for you. You are either grossly incompetent, or so deep in the cartel’s pocket you have no way out. No matter what the reason is, the U.S. will take care of this, but you will owe us big time. Once we’re done, we’ll be sending you all your gang members back so you can deal with them, not us.
These treasonous hypocrite libs(lying sack of Schiff) don’t know the meaning of the truth! They are at it again and just as mentally deranged as the rest of the Globalists NAZI Muslim Commie Liberal Demoncrats! Deep State, Pelosi, Waters, Schumer, Hollywood, Academia, Fake News, Swamp News and you know the rest!! Expose, Boycott, Sue, prosecute and bring to justice all these lying Fake News deep state treasonous Godless NAZI commie liberal demoncrats and RINOs (Mutt Romney, Susan Collins, Murkowski and you know the rest of the traitors) post-haste,Patriots! Drain the rat infested swamp President Trump!
There needs to be some American Patriots to force political action. Starting with Political fraud, and go for the reformed Democratic Party. That Party no longer exists. Roughly 30 years ago the Democratic Party reformed their Party Platform, and it’s no longer the Old Democratic Party. Even it’s own membership isn’t aware that they are members of, and donating to the Democratic Socialist Party. They all seem to be unaware unconcerned that most of the Presidential Candidates are Bragg I how much they plan to spend of the Middle class taxpayers taxes to promote the freeee.
The poor are mostly poor because of Past Presidents that helped import refugees, illegals and visa workers into America to keep wages down, and why, to make Americans dependent on Socialist Assistance programs
The poor are that way because of imported labor keeps wages down. The Rich don’t pay taxes, and promote raising taxes, mostly by suggesting that they want to tax the rich but turn around and increase the Taxes on the middle class.
You bet Obrador likes the Kisses and Hugs approach for controlloing the Carte. He kisses their ass and they give him a ton of blood money. They have all been crooked since the 30s just like our congress and the Democratic party. The snake can do no harm once the head is cut off. We should have a serious vetting of all political personel to determine who in our government is working with the Cartels for profit. We have to admit it but you know it’s true. jwstx
Looks like this president of Mexico is just as big of an “Idiot” as the previous one… What a moron… It’s just like telling the decapitation murderous savages ISIS, will you stop the killing if I ‘give you a great big hug!’
