About effing time. Mexico's corruption had made it rife for civil war for decades. Hopefully the mentality and sentiment spread to the US. Our federal government has grossly overstepped its bounds and so has much of the judiciary.

Well I laud the effort, but it's the most dangerous quixotic battle in the western hemisphere now.
They'll next be seen dumped in a field, bound, gagged, their severed dicks in their mouths...

U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) has an amazing plan to fight the cartels: bring back legal pirating, which is fully authorized in our Constitution.

Letters of marque and reprisal are government-issued commissions that authorize private citizens (privateers) to perform acts that would otherwise be considered piracy, like attacking enemy ships during wartime Privateers are rewarded with a cut of the loot they 'bring home'

Congress could issue letters of marque and reprisal authorizing private security firms or specially trained civilians to intercept cartel operations, particularly those involving drug shipments or human trafficking across borders - Targets: Focus on disrupting supply lines, capturing high-value targets, or seizing assets like boats, vehicles, cash, gold, or equipment used in criminal activities

About $200 billion is laundered through the US financial system each year.

Yes, the government knows quite clearly who is doing it. Just have the Treasury Department seize it.

Send a few thousand bankers to jail and the problem remedies itself.
