Why in the heck should we want Mexico to extradite their drug kingpins to this country? (crimes, leader)

If the CIA and Delta could find and take out Pablo Escobar we can find "El Chapo" too.
Hypothetically, if true, those alleged activities took place in a country that wanted us in there. That country was interested in getting rid of drug lords. Mexico on the other hand does not want the U.S to openly wander in their borders taking out drug Lords.

And we shouldn't do it even if they did ask us.
They need to learn to take out their own criminals. I sure as hell wouldn't want the law enforcement agencies of some other nation traipsing around this country.
and Mexico apparently can't keep the drug kingpins in jail once they finally catch them.

Why his he our problem... because he conspires to import narcotics into this country and unlike Mexico we can keep him behind bars.
They knew the risks. I'd bet quite a few people who take meth dont care too much about their life.
And the addiction of the drug caused this.
But the bottom line still becomes-he has broken our laws. You can disagree with the law, but its the gosh darned law.
If you break it you know the possible consequences.
Hey, pot is legal in Oregon, and colorado!
Uhmm....no its not. Its legal on the local and state level, NOT the federal. Go ahead and use it, you know the risks. (virtually 0).
This guy broke our laws, he knew the risks.
You folks can try and moan about how he didnt break any laws, or force anyone to do anything. The reality is-he broke laws. He distributed a incredibly addictive drug. If he'd stuck with something like pot or ecstacy I'd probably go along with you folks. But Meth is vastly different, and causes damage to our society beyond the users that take it. Its illegal for a VERY good reason.
