We should make a full court press, to include using US Armed Forces as necessary, to secure our border both ways - Law Enforcement taking the lead, but with our assets made available.
By both ways - if we are supplying that much arms, cash and precusor chemicals, then we need to clean our own house. This would entail some economic hardship on both sides - the slowing of commerce for inspections, etc.
As far as to the South - nice people, corrupt elites. Don't expect much, despite the Generals glowing reviews. Some of us have heard this before.
