The overwhelming majority of illegal drugs in the United States already come from Mexico and Mexican traffickers are the greatest criminal threat to the nation, but things are about to get worse when Mexico's new leftwing president takes over.
His name is Andrés Manuel López Obrador, he opposes hardline anti-drug policies and believes in amnesty for drug war criminals.
He will also end Mexican military intervention in the drug war and pardon some drug offenders, according to the document which was issued recently by the agency's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and is titled "Mexico's Drug War & AMLO" and subtitled "Crime; Drug Trafficking; Narco-Terrorism."
Narco-violence and cartel-associated crime is already one of most dangerous threats against U.S. private-sector interests in Mexico, according to the State Department, and Obrador's new policies will only worsen the crisis.
For years a variety of government audits have documented that the overwhelming majority of illegal drugs in the U.S. come from Mexico and Mexican traffickers remain the greatest criminal threat to the country.
A recent one that comes to mind is the Drug Enforcement Administration's 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment proclaiming that Mexican cartels are in a class of their own, that "No other group can challenge them in the near term." The government classifies them as Transitional Criminal Organizations and they smuggle in enormous quantities of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.
Mexican drug cartels have long benefitted from our susceptible southern border and the situation is more serious than ever because traffickers have joined forces with Middle Eastern terrorists to enter the U.S. Years ago Judicial Watch broke a story detailing how smugglers working for the Juárez Cartel help move ISIS terrorists through the desert and across the border between Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, New Mexico.
