This is a law enforcement issue and could be handled by them if given adequate resources and support from leadership, which we all know is not the current tact of this administration. They would rather have an IRS agent up everyone’s [BLEEP]. 

But no worries. We have a cackling idiot assigned as the “Border Czar” who is actively seeking the root causes of our border problems. No, really. Stop laughing. I’m being serious. Stop!

I tuned in during that discussion, but my take was that he wanted to treat the Cartel like terrorist organizations, which means using the military in countries that harbor them. Mexico really doesn't have a leg to stand on here. They are killing Americans. They gotta go.

I'm coming around to that position.  We didn't notify Pakistan before taking out bin Ladin.  Pakistan was mad about it but ultimately did nothing to retaliate.
The problem with notifying Mexico of our plans would be that quite a few Mexican diplomats and generals are in bed with the cartels.
That said, this strategy should be used only sparingly, for the worst of the worst only, and only when we think we can seize and destroy the assets along with the criminals.
