"Oh but they run drugs." Yeah, well so does China. Should we invade them?
I mean Cotton is just spouting off imo... he has presidential hopes down the road for sure... but this is a matter that's handled by the State Dept., not the Dept of Defense. If Americans want protection, don't set up residence in a 3rd world sh-hole surrounded by narcos.
Probably the Mormons.Look up where the cartels get their flow of weapons. Lots of times they are purchased in the US. It's strange there's not a larger effort to stop the flow of arms.
