Mexico is not asking the US to send its troops a la "we need you to save us". The countries that the US is at war with right now did not ask for that either. One was invaded under false pretenses and the other has been destroyed while the US is looking for a man that has made the all mighty powerful US military look inept.

The US has a history of invading countries, Mexico doesn't need this kind of help. Mexico is a sovereign nation, it does not want the US congress to enact any measures where sending troops are involved.

Legalize drugs, and this will all end. As someone who lives in a country where that is also a problem, I know for a fact that we don't want the US saving troops here either. Supply and demand, is that simple. Win the war on drugs in the US and countries like mine and Mexico would have less headaches and issues with cartels and the crimes associated with them.

To think that sending US troops places is the cure for all simply blows my mind.

Rocking, I quoted you but this is a general statement to the thread.
