If we build the wall then we should stay out of it, cartels and gangs would be their problems to solve. If we don't build the wall then the cartels and gangs would continue to be our problem too, so maybe we should think about dealing with them.

Sure they know, unless, they'd been spending all of their time trying to 'get Trump' instead of doing their real jobs.

And also no to the wall unless red states are willing to pay for it. Go for it but leave blue states out of it
Suure, just as soon as you reimburse us for the billions that it had cost us to support illegals. Heck, we could build three or four walls just with that reimbursement. Sounds like a winner to me, start sending those checks in

I agree. When hillary suggested drone striking the embassy just to stop Assange, it was clear that the 'powers that be' are far too comfortable with using drones and not caring about the innocents near the targets.

If we can defeat the Mexican cartels and MS 13 then there will be less illegal aliens "fleeing" to our country.
HOW is removing the cartels and MS 13 going to stop those who come here to make $$$ they send home? Jailing those who hire them would be a much more effective action and requires no incursion into another country.

He has no idea. One second he's campaigning for communism. The next he's going on about walls and bombing people.
I think the CIA and DEA are in bed with them. The best thing we could do is legalize, put some of the massive tax money towards treatment when people have finally had enough and put the bastids out of business.
You don’t see liquor store owners shooting each other or chopping off arms to protect their territory.

I often wonder about that. We have spy satellites that can read a license plate from I believe 22,500 miles above the earth, makes it a bit difficult we couldn't locate and stop drug shipments if it was really a priority. Lots of people making lots of $$$ in the trade.
I personally would support using military force against the Mexican drug cartels and also gangs like MS-13 in their home countries. Now I don't mean ground troops where we risk American casualties.
But I would be in favor of using drones and airstrikes to target the cartel leaders and threats along our border. In addition to building the wall.

I'll have you know you're talking about job creators, the holiest of the holiest cows. Surely you don't expect US politicians to punish the donor class?
