  • Federal officials say Mexican drug cartels have targeted the six Native American reservations in Montana because they can make bigger profits farther away from the Southern border, and because there is less law enforcement. NBC's Cynthia McFadden reports on the challenge and speaks with the former head of the DEA in Montana.

      Native Americans are uniformed and continue to VOTE in donkeys (Lib/lft) with hidden intentions to keep in their Socialist State. Especially into their own Sovereign Govermnt. (Its corrupt too).
      When you CONTINUE to give ,give, give (handouts) .. they will CONTINUE to come back believing in SOMEONE ELSE is ther to take care of them ..REGARDLESS if they were FIRST NATIONS /HERE BEFORE Europe.
      Welfare systems NEED to stop and these Soveriegn Govermnts should put in place a Trade School to help them learn about creating jobs/ training in jobs and such.
      And MOST IMPORTANTLY get a mission together to assist with Alcohol, Mental illness (bcz thr is A LOT of mntl illnss on Native Reservations) ... a REAL ASSISTANCE with the Native struggle with.
      Most Native families just turn a eye when their family member go dwn this road, or worse when they witness their own ppl spiral into these struggles.
      There is so much that CAN BE DONE with funds the Native Govermnt recieve to funnel it bk towards helping their own people... but just like U.S Gvrmnt it too is imbedded with corruption.
      The education systems on reservation are by far the worse.. of coarse it has it basics but it should other studies as with credit, money, jobs, family, even studies on THAT THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE RESERVATION that they shouldnt be afraid of seeing it/ experiencing it.
      I have a heart for my own people (Natives/ 1st Nations) but this cycle of socialist leaders NEED TO GO.
