First on the fox: A top conservative group offers a folder of the way the president Donald Trump It can effectively arrange an army to provide the southern border, claiming that there is a “significant historical precedent” for such use.

He claims that Mexico is unlikely to change his attitude by choosing President Claudia Sheinbaum, even in response to what the authors claim to be a dramatic escalating threat of cartel.
“Today, drugs for drugs are the fifth employer in Mexico, between 160,000 and 185,000 members,” they wrote. “The cartels are also equipped with weapons at a military level, including weapons against aircraft and armored vehicles, while increasingly using advanced technologies, such as drones and signal stuck stuck systems.”
