Yeah holy shit seeing the host and the guest as well as other commenters not understand these people are not PAYING $15000, they are in DEBT $15000 and paying probably indefinitely, they have no connections, no resources and no passports they’re just… slaves. Why do they think the cartels would miss the chance??
😂😂😂 you think the death penalty would stop the murders? It doesn't in the USA your talking about people that torture /behead / starvation / 12/13/14/15 year old murderers. It's so bad the military usually fights the cartels because the police just get slaughtered. When do people realize laws do not stop or prevent crime.
Cartels do justice at times where the cops in the US won't, like chopping up pedophiles and injecting adrenaline in them so they can feel more and torturing them for days and keeping them alive so they can suffer. Thieves get their hands cut off right on the spot when the store owner calls the cartel on them and they get there quicker than the s.w.a.t team and grab them and cut their hands of right then and there. There's not too much craziness in Mexico and often times the cartels don't mess with you if you're not a snobby piece of shit that doesn't know how to mind their business or if you're disturbing the peace and being problematic and screaming like a lunatic like the karens from UA-cam vids (they'll pick you up too for being a problematic loud Karen).
Shawn asks the question, where do they get the money? I am hearing if they don't have the money, they must come to a legal cartel business in America and work off the debt for minimum wage. The cartel verifies who your are and your family and if you don't work the debt off, your family is killed.

Haha, that part about selling stolen gasoline reminded me of when I was in Iraq during OIF 1.

Here in San Antonio a 15 year old illegally dealing drugs for his cartel uncle who lives in Mexico stole a 16 year olds car then shot him in the head. He then put him the trunk and burnt the car out destroying everything. He told cops uoon his arrest he learned how to dispose of bodies that way cause thats how the cartel taught him how to do it.
@@elguerokabron KSAT news here in San Antonio covered it I know without a doubt. It was a big relief to the public the judge denied probation when he was aging out of the Juvenile system. I remember he wasn't arrested until quite sometime after he did it . His name because of age wasn't immediately released. Sorry u missed it but im sure a link can be found if u do some research yourself. Maybe then u haven't heard either the story either of the 14 year old found during a traffic stop inside 2 sex traffickers car outside New Braunfels. He had already been raped and sodomized plus they confessed his parents thought they were paying . the cartel to take him to a CA vineyard to work off the debt to them as child labor. Instead they confessed he was on his way to a sex trafficking house. ICE said they even snitched out who their cartel was and gave names. They confessed to try and save their own ass's.
the problems in mexico are fueled by the demand for product but it is up to them to sort it out and that goes for central america and south america as well - we have enough problems domestically that we need to address those first and then offer assistance and advice - all the problems are not going to go away until we see large changes in policies, laws, and enforcement - we plainly just don't have the political will or ambition to see huge changes happen for another decade or two
Wrong. It's up to us to. This isn't some far away problem in a far away land you get to ignore. This is in our country, millions of people working for and with the cartels in America. They are our neighbor so this is one problem you don't get to ignore as we share a border with them. We are literally funding every aspect of this problem so this is NEVER going away unless we step up and own the fact that we haved funded this for decades. We created it with our insatiable thirst for drugs. If we don't get some sort of joint venture with the Mexican govt this problem will only get worse.
In college back in 2009 they passed out flyers in college adviseing students not to go to mexico due to the violence ect months before flyer California cps was allowing foster homes to take kids into mexico, takeing kids off computer . Now you hear from veterens 4 child rescue their are two foot ball fields of kids missing no one knows where they are after crossing border into USA how many missing that went into mexico ? People clearly electing wrong people makeing dum laws . They need to do a head count of all these checks going out to foster adoptive homes to count how many kids been missing how long checks been comeing in mail when theirs no kids there. Due to cps not required to check back up on a adoptive child. Just collect bonus and go get anougher kid. To put in a trick bag.
All you have to do Is go to any western union on Fri afternoon in the southern states and you can see where the money comes from to pay a smuggler to get someone across the border. They come here and work their ass off doing construction work. They will live 10 to 15 to a household keeping their living expenses low. A worker can send 12 - 15 thousand back to Mexico in less than a year.
Shawn was thinking "dude you never clearly answered my question how some dirt poor human being comes up with $12k-$15k to pay the cartels to get here!" I kinda sorta know but still don't fully understand. I am very close to a man from nicaragua who illegally crossed back in the mid 80s alone at 14 years of age and cost him like $4k back then. As with anything as crazy as this stuff is, of course it's hard to wrap your head around if you were born here as a citizen of the USA. Glad to report the person in question I mentioned has been married for almost 30 years here in America and followed thru to become a legal citizen over 10 years ago. He adopted all of our language and believes, values, morals, and general way of life which us Americans live and breathe by. He is one of the finest upstanding citizens and he has helped so many people here be it friends or family and this man is well loved by all of us who know him. I've never met a person who does not like this guy. I'm gonna leave it all right here but surely y'all must understand by now he has worked and lived and put in time to become a better person and it shows by how he treats others. On a humorous note to end this comment, ask any native spanish speaking person to say the word "squirrel" in english. I promise you that you will laugh your tail off! Imagine basically a silent but rolling double letters R using his original language!
I work for federally funded program that houses unaccompanied children and a lot of families that have land will take out a loan from a local loan shark with a ridiculously high interest rate on the loan just to send the kids over to the U.S. 9 out of 10 kids coming want to get released quickly because they need to help pay down this loan that truly is not payable due to the interest and the family will at some point lose the property. Or sometimes the kids will be sent to work for the loan shark in US to pay down the loan. CBP would do a great job at catching a lot of these trafficked children and because they were detained and sent to us they were saved from a life of servitude. I would hear the frustration in the parents voices on their calls because they weren’t supposed to get caught and because of that they were going to lose their homes. It’s a vicious cycle and I’m only summarizing and adding to what this gentleman mentioned
We go into foreign countries with military force for less. Makes no sense to me for Cartels to wreak profitable havoc abroad and innovate while the United States doesn't clean up its own backyard.🎯
14:20 forgot to mention kidnapping for ransom and “cobro de piso” which is taxing every single local business from the corner store, to the barber, the taxi driver, the butcher and the farmers. Everyone must pay the local thugs with a stronghold on your place of living a right of way tax. Shameful that this is happening but true.
And everyone else, the American problem is that we took away the abilities of American drug producers to produce, allowing the cartels to sweep the market as they can easily produce in massive quantities. We took away American drugs and invited Mexico's drugs right in.
What a,,, 11:58 HEY!!! That was MY idea when I was a 8-12 Yrs 😅 l just saw then an article in NG about Envirimental impact of it and photo if miles upon a miles of it! Thinking…buying a cystern,cystern truck and a dummy oil rig would pay off PRETTY QUICKLY! How to request royalties from a Kartel!
In the time of the troubles in El Salvador, people who'd heard-of the Death Squads were probably have simply assuming that this meant a deuce- and-a-half rolling-up, and a bunch of mean-faced Paratroopers were then jumping-out, and waving their rifles-around, but ACTUALLY, you were REALLY talking-about a young teen, a literal orphan, from the streets, picked-up, deloused, given his very-first dental care, his first SHOES, a bed under an actual ROOF, three square meals, a day, and then the TRAINING began.... This "mere teen" would be easy to NOT "take-seriously," as you saw them about-to pass you, on the street, right up-until the time they'd walked-by, but had plunged the blade he'd been holding-inverted, as he approached, deep-into your KIDNEY, with-a-twist... The Intel Major who'd trained these teens-UP ended-up residing in Appalachia, like some Mob Witness being funneled-through WITSEC, relocated, re-named, with a phony "identity," after-having testified, against the mob. Your Tax Dollars, at-work.
Call them terrorist and we will end up with a 20 year war in Mexico. There are alternative pathways, but labeling them terrorist is the most lucrative option for the military industrial complex so that is most likely what will happen.
The main point on labelling them as a terrorist organisation against it, is the same reason why the government won’t do it. As soon as you start a military operation, you invite gun trucks crossing the border, drone strikes on American cities, regular terrorist strikes etc etc, so instead the government chooses to keep the money flowing and the cartel happy. They won’t risk destabilisation knowing what will follow.
There is absolutely no way the cartels could wage a successful guerilla war against Americans on American soil. This isn't Afghanistan or Vietnam, this is the homeland and our advantages are manifold. Completely different story if the US invaded Mexico or carried out a "special operation," then you would just have another Afghanistan, albeit more successful due to the proximity to our borders/supply lines.
@@thenathanimal2909God how blind and misinformed you people are on here it's crazy cartels have several connections here in the United States not just in Mexico they have ties street gangs in the US people that work in law enforcement and our own military all across the US the war started long ago you people are just now becoming aware of something that's been going on for decades.
Afghanistan & Vietnam don’t even compare to the power of the cartels have over Mexico. America knows better. We were in the Middle East 20+ yrs & basically didn’t do anything. Had to retreat cuz we all know it’s all about power/money. Not fighting “terrorists”
@@thenathanimal2909 The problem with most opinions is that, they are more than likely made from a biased standpoint. Do you know the actual number of people of Mexican decent living in the United States? Let’s say the US has a population of 600 million, as of 2023 220 million are of Mexican decent. If you label a cartel(Spanish speaking network) as a terrorist organization you risk losing relations with 200 million people that live inside the continental US. That would be catastrophic! And we haven’t even started to dive deep into the details of economic and social sustainability. The United States of America is more than just land mass on a map, it’s en evolving idea! I suggest you go outside and touch grass then read some books then start taking trips around the world so you can see with your own eyes what the US has become, objectively.
It’s descent, not decent. I hope you aren’t saying all US dwelling people of Mexican descent support cartels? Did all Germans support Nazis in 1939? Did you read history or just depend on your own identity politics moral compass for such ideas?
He’s right! It’s about 15 to 20k to cross the boarder with a coyote. It’s 5k if you know someone personally in Mexico who is cartel usually family or thru marriage that’s the best way to get the best deal.
Ive met a group of 15-17 yo kids.. 8 of them.they also payed 12,000$ each to come into the usa they have to pay it off and live in a house till they pay it off in the field...some of them escape to not pay off..they work in the fields and live in one room like animals.its crazy how my Mexican people condone this something has to change
the money comes from the family already in rhe US. my brother had gotten extorted 2x for $500 once he got the border or was close enough to get picked up on the us side, they wouldn't let him get picked up unless he had another $500 luckily it wasn't much but imagine you don't have anymore your ass is getting kidnapped
An issue I havent heard others speak about concerning the U.S.A. designating the cartels as terrorist organizations is how that would effect our border and current immigrant status to enter our nation. If designated as such what would that do as far as all those currently trying to apply for asylum.? Would that allow people to just skip the nearest country (Mexico in this case) and qualify for asylum? Could be many unforseen consequences.
They're taught how to cut off arms, legs, etc at the joints with precision/speed like a butcher. There was a cartel video released last month that shows a dozen or so members with a member of a rival cartel they'd kidnapped, a Sicario steps forward and using a small/super sharp knife he removes the skin from the victims head/face in whole/one piece and he does it so quickly with such little effort it's clear he's done it many times.
Watch Grillos interview on rogan. This guy, years ago talked about how much crime is in mexico and that in a way every mexican citizen is envolved. So much violence but he thinks the common man shouldn't be allowed to have guns.
Props to you sean! I dont like hearing people's secrets.. I feel after being told a persons secret i go on a list in their mind - and i dont like people fantasizing about me unless its " me on a beach sourrounded by beautiful beaches"
Tell me about the 14 Year Old who Put 4 Heads Back On or Saved Some Lives. I know 14 year olds in Philadelphia who have done worse. We don’t sit around and speak about them like it’s cool.
Decriminalising "drugs" is the only way...... the prohibition of alcohol massively improved the wealth and influence of the mob in America back in the day and now the prohibition of drugs massively increases the wealth and influence of Cartels and gangs both inside and outside America. Aside from that prohibition is hugely costly for the government and terrible for the addicts and communities affected by addition.
Seal the border, no one without a US passport can come in, then stop all transfer of funds to Mexico, bank wire or cash, save the kids and our country ... just a thought.
This kid that he is talking about him and his friend were kidnapped by the cartel driven to a ranch and were given knives they were told to kill one another or they both would die he then became a hit man
Instead of just wanting to target cartels which I 100% believe and want them to be deemed a terrorist organization. You also need to look at the root of why It's so popular. Which is money and being able to provide for yourself and family. They need to be deemed a terrorist organization while at the same time the United States instead of sending billions and trillions of dollars overseas to countries that have minimal impact or 0 at all on the development of our country. Look into allocating those funds into the development of Mexico. The nation to our south plays a huge role in our economy and day to day life here, If Mexico flourishes that will also impact our economy. Perfect example of this is Canada. There our largest trade partner and create millions of jobs on both side of the border. It's a long-term investment that is 100% worth it.
You wonder why Trump's policy does not reference Aliens, "Nuke 'em from Space, it's the only way to sure". And clearly it would not make economic sense.

It was a big relief to the public the judge denied probation when he was aging out of the Juvenile system. I remember he wasn't arrested until quite sometime after he did it . His name because of age wasn't immediately released. Sorry u missed it but im sure a link can be found if u do some research yourself. Maybe then u haven't heard either the story either of the 14 year old found during a traffic stop inside 2 sex traffickers car outside New Braunfels. He had already been raped and sodomized plus they confessed his parents thought they were paying . the cartel to take him to a CA vineyard to work off the debt to them as child labor. Instead they confessed he was on his way to a sex trafficking house. ICE said they even snitched out who their cartel was and gave names. They confessed to try and save their own ass's.
Which episode is this from ????
They took over 🥑 Avocado fields as well.. nothing is off limits….
I've done mission work in Mexico. The REAL Mexico, not the Cancun BS. It's very much still the wild West.
the problems in mexico are fueled by the demand for product but it is up to them to sort it out and that goes for central america and south america as well - we have enough problems domestically that we need to address those first and then offer assistance and advice - all the problems are not going to go away until we see large changes in policies, laws, and enforcement - we plainly just don't have the political will or ambition to see huge changes happen for another decade or two
Wrong. It's up to us to. This isn't some far away problem in a far away land you get to ignore. This is in our country, millions of people working for and with the cartels in America. They are our neighbor so this is one problem you don't get to ignore as we share a border with them. We are literally funding every aspect of this problem so this is NEVER going away unless we step up and own the fact that we haved funded this for decades. We created it with our insatiable thirst for drugs. If we don't get some sort of joint venture with the Mexican govt this problem will only get worse.
In college back in 2009 they passed out flyers in college adviseing students not to go to mexico due to the violence ect months before flyer California cps was allowing foster homes to take kids into mexico, takeing kids off computer . Now you hear from veterens 4 child rescue their are two foot ball fields of kids missing no one knows where they are after crossing border into USA how many missing that went into mexico ? People clearly electing wrong people makeing dum laws . They need to do a head count of all these checks going out to foster adoptive homes to count how many kids been missing how long checks been comeing in mail when theirs no kids there. Due to cps not required to check back up on a adoptive child. Just collect bonus and go get anougher kid. To put in a trick bag.
All you have to do Is go to any western union on Fri afternoon in the southern states and you can see where the money comes from to pay a smuggler to get someone across the border. They come here and work their ass off doing construction work. They will live 10 to 15 to a household keeping their living expenses low. A worker can send 12 - 15 thousand back to Mexico in less than a year.
Makes me sick
Shawn was thinking "dude you never clearly answered my question how some dirt poor human being comes up with $12k-$15k to pay the cartels to get here!"
I kinda sorta know but still don't fully understand. I am very close to a man from nicaragua who illegally crossed back in the mid 80s alone at 14 years of age and cost him like $4k back then.
As with anything as crazy as this stuff is, of course it's hard to wrap your head around if you were born here as a citizen of the USA.
Glad to report the person in question I mentioned has been married for almost 30 years here in America and followed thru to become a legal citizen over 10 years ago. He adopted all of our language and believes, values, morals, and general way of life which us Americans live and breathe by.
He is one of the finest upstanding citizens and he has helped so many people here be it friends or family and this man is well loved by all of us who know him. I've never met a person who does not like this guy.
I'm gonna leave it all right here but surely y'all must understand by now he has worked and lived and put in time to become a better person and it shows by how he treats others.
On a humorous note to end this comment, ask any native spanish speaking person to say the word "squirrel" in english. I promise you that you will laugh your tail off!
Imagine basically a silent but rolling double letters R using his original language!
I imagine the people are probably working for the cartel in some way in the United States to pay them back. But yea he never answered the question.
How to get in touch with you?
I work for federally funded program that houses unaccompanied children and a lot of families that have land will take out a loan from a local loan shark with a ridiculously high interest rate on the loan just to send the kids over to the U.S. 9 out of 10 kids coming want to get released quickly because they need to help pay down this loan that truly is not payable due to the interest and the family will at some point lose the property. Or sometimes the kids will be sent to work for the loan shark in US to pay down the loan. CBP would do a great job at catching a lot of these trafficked children and because they were detained and sent to us they were saved from a life of servitude. I would hear the frustration in the parents voices on their calls because they weren’t supposed to get caught and because of that they were going to lose their homes. It’s a vicious cycle and I’m only summarizing and adding to what this gentleman mentioned
We go into foreign countries with military force for less. Makes no sense to me for Cartels to wreak profitable havoc abroad and innovate while the United States doesn't clean up its own backyard.🎯
I like how he pronounces our cities and states. 🇲🇽 good job
What episode #??
Right as I read the title I knew it was Ponchis lol
14:20 forgot to mention kidnapping for ransom and “cobro de piso” which is taxing every single local business from the corner store, to the barber, the taxi driver, the butcher and the farmers. Everyone must pay the local thugs with a stronghold on your place of living a right of way tax. Shameful that this is happening but true.
Big facts! CDMX
Americans need to stop using drugs.... end of problem
And everyone else, the American problem is that we took away the abilities of American drug producers to produce, allowing the cartels to sweep the market as they can easily produce in massive quantities. We took away American drugs and invited Mexico's drugs right in.
Drug dealers aren't terrorists.
They undoubtedly can be
See Afghan extremists selling poppy to fund their militant efforts
What a,,,
11:58 HEY!!! That was MY idea when I was a 8-12 Yrs 😅 l just saw then an article in NG about Envirimental impact of it and photo if miles upon a miles of it! Thinking…buying a cystern,cystern truck and a dummy oil rig would pay off PRETTY QUICKLY! How to request royalties from a Kartel!
9:12 average American doesn't even have 1000 in their bank account
This would not be happening if our lawmskers werent turning a blind eye
In the time of the troubles in El Salvador, people who'd heard-of the Death Squads were probably have simply assuming that this meant a deuce- and-a-half rolling-up, and a bunch of mean-faced Paratroopers were then jumping-out, and waving their rifles-around, but ACTUALLY, you were REALLY talking-about a young teen, a literal orphan, from the streets, picked-up, deloused, given his very-first dental care, his first SHOES, a bed under an actual ROOF, three square meals, a day, and then the TRAINING began....
This "mere teen" would be easy to NOT "take-seriously," as you saw them about-to pass you, on the street, right up-until the time they'd walked-by, but had plunged the blade he'd been holding-inverted, as he approached, deep-into your KIDNEY, with-a-twist...
The Intel Major who'd trained these teens-UP ended-up residing in Appalachia, like some Mob Witness being funneled-through WITSEC, relocated, re-named, with a phony "identity," after-having testified, against the mob. Your Tax Dollars, at-work.
Call them terrorist and we will end up with a 20 year war in Mexico. There are alternative pathways, but labeling them terrorist is the most lucrative option for the military industrial complex so that is most likely what will happen.
The main point on labelling them as a terrorist organisation against it, is the same reason why the government won’t do it. As soon as you start a military operation, you invite gun trucks crossing the border, drone strikes on American cities, regular terrorist strikes etc etc, so instead the government chooses to keep the money flowing and the cartel happy. They won’t risk destabilisation knowing what will follow.
There is absolutely no way the cartels could wage a successful guerilla war against Americans on American soil. This isn't Afghanistan or Vietnam, this is the homeland and our advantages are manifold.
Completely different story if the US invaded Mexico or carried out a "special operation," then you would just have another Afghanistan, albeit more successful due to the proximity to our borders/supply lines.
@@thenathanimal2909God how blind and misinformed you people are on here it's crazy cartels have several connections here in the United States not just in Mexico they have ties street gangs in the US people that work in law enforcement and our own military all across the US the war started long ago you people are just now becoming aware of something that's been going on for decades.
Afghanistan & Vietnam don’t even compare to the power of the cartels have over Mexico. America knows better. We were in the Middle East 20+ yrs & basically didn’t do anything. Had to retreat cuz we all know it’s all about power/money. Not fighting “terrorists”
@@thenathanimal2909 The problem with most opinions is that, they are more than likely made from a biased standpoint. Do you know the actual number of people of Mexican decent living in the United States? Let’s say the US has a population of 600 million, as of 2023 220 million are of Mexican decent. If you label a cartel(Spanish speaking network) as a terrorist organization you risk losing relations with 200 million people that live inside the continental US. That would be catastrophic! And we haven’t even started to dive deep into the details of economic and social sustainability. The United States of America is more than just land mass on a map, it’s en evolving idea! I suggest you go outside and touch grass then read some books then start taking trips around the world so you can see with your own eyes what the US has become, objectively.
It’s descent, not decent. I hope you aren’t saying all US dwelling people of Mexican descent support cartels? Did all Germans support Nazis in 1939? Did you read history or just depend on your own identity politics moral compass for such ideas?
The 15K a head isn’t necessarily paid upfront. You cross over and you have a wristband and you’re indebted to c@rtel
He’s right! It’s about 15 to 20k to cross the boarder with a coyote. It’s 5k if you know someone personally in Mexico who is cartel usually family or thru marriage that’s the best way to get the best deal.
That kid doesn’t sleep well I bet you.
Ive met a group of 15-17 yo kids.. 8 of them.they also payed 12,000$ each to come into the usa they have to pay it off and live in a house till they pay it off in the field...some of them escape to not pay off..they work in the fields and live in one room like animals.its crazy how my Mexican people condone this something has to change
Stephen merchant looks a bit different these days 😂
Put some glasses on John Berthal and let's make a fictional movie based on this guy's experiences
El ponchis lives in San Antonio Tx crazy how they can do all that bs and then come live in the states freely
Everything is about the money 💰 to the ones that cook it, to the ones that land in jail. It is a vicious circle ⭕️🔄
This guy is a halfway spokesmen for the cartel !
Give me coke, hookers, money, and booze 😂 lol. That's how they roll.
Don’t stress they killing each other.
This guy waffles so much lol
Scary proposition
the money comes from the family already in rhe US. my brother had gotten extorted 2x for $500 once he got the border or was close enough to get picked up on the us side, they wouldn't let him get picked up unless he had another $500 luckily it wasn't much but imagine you don't have anymore your ass is getting kidnapped
... thank God for subtitles.
this is insane
An issue I havent heard others speak about concerning the U.S.A. designating the cartels as terrorist organizations is how that would effect our border and current immigrant status to enter our nation.
If designated as such what would that do as far as all those currently trying to apply for asylum.? Would that allow people to just skip the nearest country (Mexico in this case) and qualify for asylum?
Could be many unforseen consequences.
When the kid was arrested it made it's rounds the Internet and Spanish news stations
El Ponchis is in San Antonio last i saw here on youtube.
They're taught how to cut off arms, legs, etc at the joints with precision/speed like a butcher. There was a cartel video released last month that shows a dozen or so members with a member of a rival cartel they'd kidnapped, a Sicario steps forward and using a small/super sharp knife he removes the skin from the victims head/face in whole/one piece and he does it so quickly with such little effort it's clear he's done it many times.
Demonic. He will get what is coming to him soon enough. He will burn in hell for eternity. No one gets away. God is a just God.
Watch Grillos interview on rogan. This guy, years ago talked about how much crime is in mexico and that in a way every mexican citizen is envolved. So much violence but he thinks the common man shouldn't be allowed to have guns.
Props to you sean!
I dont like hearing people's secrets..
I feel after being told a persons secret i go on a list in their mind - and i dont like people fantasizing about me unless its " me on a beach sourrounded by beautiful beaches"
Tell me about the 14 Year Old who Put 4 Heads Back On or Saved Some Lives.
I know 14 year olds in Philadelphia who have done worse.
We don’t sit around and speak about them like it’s cool.
Ironically I just watched that young guy admitting decapitation of 4 people on a Doc. Phew am I glad I live in England. 😉
If you have 3 or 4 sons working 2 and 3 jobs, sharing an apartment, they have the money to send back home.
Was it El Ponchis
This guy is funny.
damn he was all over the place
He couldn't give a solid answer when asked if the cartel should be considered terrorists. That struck me as odd.
Was this El Pincho?
Decriminalising "drugs" is the only way...... the prohibition of alcohol massively improved the wealth and influence of the mob in America back in the day and now the prohibition of drugs massively increases the wealth and influence of Cartels and gangs both inside and outside America. Aside from that prohibition is hugely costly for the government and terrible for the addicts and communities affected by addition.
Did labeling islamic extremist terrorist make us win in iraq and Afghanistan? Why would anyone think that would work in Mexico
CrikEy! Goodday mate
I think it's mainly Australians who say goodday mate, not Brits! 😂
@@Tom_Samad if he's not an aussie he is now lol
Seal the border, no one without a US passport can come in, then stop all transfer of funds to Mexico, bank wire or cash, save the kids and our country ... just a thought.
USA is in on it. Mena, Arkansas
@noway57 All lot of ignorant Americans think it's just one sided 😂
Dude looks like the Temu Jon Bernthal.
Theres actually a song about him
Ditto. I’m set n ready. Sicario means nothing to me if I’m armed as well and FAR from afraid. HOKA HEY!!!!
this shit is all true im mexican and that kid grew up in barrio logan san diego,CA
I like that dude. He knows his shit and can discuss the problems with measured pragmatism.
They actually killed him and his mom and sister as soon as the police released him
I remember a kid who’s beheaded someone.
I live in Mexico and this title to people living the states might be eye catching but to us this shit is regular hahah and honestly 4 is a little bit
This kid that he is talking about him and his friend were kidnapped by the cartel driven to a ranch and were given knives they were told to kill one another or they both would die he then became a hit man
Instead of just wanting to target cartels which I 100% believe and want them to be deemed a terrorist organization. You also need to look at the root of why It's so popular. Which is money and being able to provide for yourself and family. They need to be deemed a terrorist organization while at the same time the United States instead of sending billions and trillions of dollars overseas to countries that have minimal impact or 0 at all on the development of our country. Look into allocating those funds into the development of Mexico. The nation to our south plays a huge role in our economy and day to day life here, If Mexico flourishes that will also impact our economy. Perfect example of this is Canada. There our largest trade partner and create millions of jobs on both side of the border. It's a long-term investment that is 100% worth it.
Great. Can't wait til we (America) become this. It's inevitable.
Interesting guy.
You wonder why Trump's policy does not reference Aliens, "Nuke 'em from Space, it's the only way to sure".
And clearly it would not make economic sense.
Someone should really make a GTA Mexico after wmhow that guy described it.
