#Mexico #Fentanyl #Guns
Mexico can’t even do anything about it. The whole country is controlled by corruption and drug traffickers. SMH
Just legalize it, and get help to those that need it.
Yeah right, Mexico isn’t going to do anything. I’ve been living in Mexico for several years now and the cartel has the government bought out at every level. They were hand in hand with the cartels.
Nothing will change. Too much money to be made. Drug trafficking is most of Mexico’s economy.
So, Mexico is killing Americans by pushing Fentanyl in the U.S. and the U.S. is killing Mexicans by pushing guns to Mexico. Go figure.
Both are responsible for the drugs being here period..
No that is the wrong way to deal with this clearly Mexico need more bigger guns to be safe they need Jesus and guns
What a joke, who r they making a deal with, the mex gov? The Mex gov works for the cartels, any deal has to go thru them. The gun dealers pay off American politicians thus any gun deal hs to go thru the gun manufacturers.
America has open border its easy to get weapons and drugs across the border
Nice title. Sounds like a fair trade. Fentanyl for guns. Makes sense if you want Penny’s.
Don’t make no sense!(disagree)FIRST,HOW THEY GONNA TRACK GUNS 🔫 THATS SMUGGLED INTO MEXICO (that’s why it’s called smuggling first!)…..THE US,,,tryna get permission to help stop,slow down n bust the cartels (or supplies)….it’s that simple! Which if MEXICO agree it’s gonna get Alot people 🤕 hurt(I think)….just due to the facts……. US can’t pick n CHOOSE when they wonna push narcotics n when others can’t push it(do that make sense?)…..
Im sure u read wrong-there’s no trade, its anti-drug and anti-gun.
@Axe1Plays2099 you have no clue what’s really going on here do you?
@MrPland1992 honestly i don’t, who am I to trust the headlines that the powetful NBC and Comcast officials choose to make for -their- news.
1:42 – attitudes by the Mexican President.. this commentator should not be calling out Mexico’s president when it’s the GOP that is constantly screaming Mexico is the root of all evil. If you want to fix it – we fix it together not on opposite sides.. doesn’t work like.. stop trying to divide.. it’s not us again them.. it’s more like US/MEXICO against China .. but again that doesn’t work.. becuase it’s the BAD CHINESE, MEXICANS, AMERICANS that are doing this to our countries for money..
America #1 Nation of CLOWNS 🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡😂🤣🤡
Do you really think the US will do anything about GUNS??
They havent done anything about drugs yet the WAR ON DRUGS has ongoing my entire life lol.
Mexicans are America…anyone born in North or south America is American..just so you guys know
I know white people think they are the owners when they literally almost wiped out the native americans
Junkies dying of overdoses. Murderers killing murderers (save a few civilian casualties, let’s call it collateral damage). Sounds like a win-win situation to me. It’ll sort itself out sooner or later.
Mexican cartels know there’s endless production of assault rifles made in the U.S. which American Gun Cartels traffick into Mexico. AMERICANS ARE THE PROBLEM. ALSO THEIR THIRST FOR DRUGS
Control guns and fentanyl, but not people crossing illegally. That speaks volumes.
Yes. The first two are real problems
Bro said people 😂 first we need to stop consuming and make America hardworking which is impossible 😂 America rely’s on cheap labor and selling arms to cartels and Mexico the latter
So if we stop the people then the fentanyl stops flowing? Jeez you are a genius 😂
Better late than never #America 🇺🇸 👍
Somehow this seems like a much more reasonable measure over “bomb Mexico”, ehhemm.. margie t. green…
Funny, this is the same trade the Cartels make every day. Cheap and plentiful guns here in the US, for cheap and plentiful drugs in Mexico.
Two of biggest Cartels making a deal 😂.
R u serious?????????? LOL they believe this???
Ya, good luck with that! Smfh!
“Mexico needs to do more to stop drugs from coming into the US” How about the US takes care of its people? How about giving people a livable wage, affordable housing, mental health facilities, universal health care, gun control, gun smuggling to Mexico. No demand no supply, stop your citizens from providing the demand and the supply will stop.
How about Mexican government stop taking bribes from the Cartels when it comes to the guns and drugs?
@Post Tramatiq how about the US government stop taking bribes from the NRA and actually do something about the gun problem that fuels the drug trade?
That won’t make cartels weak and poor anymore. Cartels are taking over Mexico’s agriculture and farms, and are smuggling g*ns from Brazil and Colombia now.
All USA could do is stop the cartel from the USA because cartels are a major part of Mexico now and something that the Mexico people will have to tolerate.
china is pushing fent to get back at us for defaulting on the money we owe them.
Nothing will change. Law enforcement, judges and politicians all have their hands in the money.
Usa wont do anything to stop the flow of guns
Expect the cartels to retaliate with more kidnapping of American X-Pats.
can you say, compromise?
I say quid pro quo
Biden did that ! 😒
Biden says come on over he’s done absolutely nothing.
They forgot to ask American drug users if they promise to do less drugs too.
Trifecta deal.
Is this Kristen wiig!!!! Omg I love you
Sounds like BS🤦🏻
Ha ha ha when you slowly realize the white people in control of everything really maybe the problem but are like fook that I’m white an I had jack crap to do with it infact my standard of living has been severely sacrificed for yours just because your a minority
The entire Mexican Government, starting with their President are all in on it….
blah blah blah
American problem sounds like china is the one causing it and Mexico is just trying the blame game for money
Fake news
It won’t matter much longer…the cartels have their own cellular servers …u think they won’t start mass 3 d printing guns???
Futuristic Intelligence
The C.I.A. will not stand for thys the cartels is their byggest cash flow.
Now that you stole my art you were happy but your not… Good!
Sounds like quid pro quo😅😂. The WAR (If ya call it that) on drugs has been ongoing my whole life with little to no difference made.😊. @02:10 US is being killed by Mexican Fenty and Mexicans are being killed by did she say American drugs? or did she mean guns? Pay Attention to detail NBC.🤨🥸
almost 50 years ago, factory workers showed me their pick up truck that had removable back bed rails where they would hide guns going to mexico and made more than at work. Imagine. They have been smuggling guns to mexico over 50 years! On xmas and new years it sounds like a war in gunfire and fireworks. Glad to hear we are going after cartels and american gun runners!…FINALLY!
The FBI and CIA should stop giving guns to transgenders because they are murdering children
FBI and CIA really need to stop supplying gun’s to people of color
The biggest threat to citizens is the domestic terrorists organization called government local state and federal
The same cartel that makes COVID vaccines also makes the fentanyl that is coming across the boarder
So México is openly saying they are allowing this crap into the USA as revenge for the guns that come into their country?!
Are the guns going in to the mexican streets? And how is the US going to stop the guns from going to México? The US government can’t stop the guns within our own country. Civilians shooting innocent people in US soil is a daily struggle.
This is madness.
And u know who suffers from this? The Chinese. For supplying the world w the deadliest drug and deadliest virus.
😂🤣😂
I hope this doesn’t effect all the cartel payoffs.
This will do nothing. Mexico has no real incentive to stop the flow.
Mexico should require paid entry into the United States of Mexican migrates without criminal records before cooperating.
Blinded b/s
It is a US problem, if the US had not made it impossible for those in need of serious pain relief to get any the problem would not be nearly as bad. What am I saying, this is the same country that made cannabis illegal and declared the war on drugs. Hows that war going America? Not well at all it would seem.
American drugs lol u mean guns 😅😅
Fentanyl cures addiction.
R.I.P. ☠
Ha lmao Blue Drugs
It’s crazy to know that China is supplying the US population with this stuff, and no one really cares. We need some hard-core Sanctions to get them to stop. That and the dealers for this crap need a MINIMUM of at least 25 years in prison. I think that would curb the amount of it being used at least 70%.
The prison system needs some intensive type of NA program as well. Something that they have to take in order for parole to even be considered. This is the answer to healing the people of this horrible disease. I pray that we can pull through all of this.
DEATH penalty is the *ONLY* way to stop ’em FOR GOOD. But they won’t do it.
Someone didn’t pay attention to prohibition
😂😂😂
US can’t stop this. Drugs area always on going.
And also CIA AND DEA OUT OF MEXICO.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.. OUT.. MEXICO IS NOT A COLONIAL STATE OF THE USA..
Don’t forget Canada , pacific ocean.
2 corrupt countries……..hopeless
What a FN joke 😂😂😂
So before this agreement, no one wasn’t doing anything? Wait a minute, I thought we hate Mexicans?
Mexico is the problem all the way around.
Wait, wait wait, they said the US is getting killed by Mexican drugs?
Ok, so what’s the point? Don’t buy drugs…
United States and Mexico are both America
Never going to work, because too much corruption and greed!
another half crack effort that will accomplish nothing just to say you tried
Americans use drugs because they don’t receive love from their family. Excessive demand from parents destroys the lives of young people.🇧🇷
How about just keepong the illegals out
We shouldn’t be negotiating with terrorists.
How many of those guns were from government deals?? Fast and furious cough cough
then a miserable guy like trump comes along AGAIN with the bad names and insults to mexicans and sets everything back to zero
Good job Mexico. America needs to address why most of its citizens are addicted to painkillers in the first place. Codeine, percs, fent , heroine , etc
Americans are not taking guns to mexico its “mexican americans”. Maybe there needs to be another ban or maybe a total closure of the border
BS
This is what needs to happen….
The next US citizen that dies from fentanyl? Mexico loses 10 cities to smoking holes in the ground! Why do we put up with this from people who can barely keep from writing on walls with their own feces? They do this because we have become Snowflake weak….I hate Donald Trump! But, if this was Iran killing this many Americans we would have already nuked them 👊🙊🤯🤬🐒💩
The best thing that can happen is to erase the country and start over!
Fentanyl is ordered on the internet by normal u.s citizens yes cartels have their hand in it but they obtain their fent the same way everyone else does.
did she mean american “guns”? bad reporting fire her
“just say no.” Dave Chappelle 🤣😂😅😂🤣
They’ll never stop it. There are just to many pay offs going on. Mexico will always let it pass for cash.
The US government knows it can’t account for the amount of illegal guns going over the border, never mind the amount of illegal guns making it into the streets of the US! The government just admitted it has lost control of the gun problem and has no idea what there doing and yet people wonder why’s theres mass shootings every week
All i see here is CIA…………
It’s about time
The fact is the Washington Democrats caused this mess at the border. TRUMP 2024 !
Theyd have to go after china to stop the fent not 🇲🇽
We need to snip this issue in the bud. Drugs come in Counterfeit Cash, Guns, and Illegal Fishing Gear go out. We need the Mexicans to intercept the drugs blow up those cook houses and keep that junk from reaching the border. The DHS needs to intercept all Cartel Cash drops if any Counterfeit Cash is found it needs to be destroyed. The DHS needs to impound all vehicles going south if any Guns or Fishing Gear is found it needs to be destroyed.
On the water The Paul Watson Foundation, Sea Shepherd, Greenpeace, and the Coast Guard need to intercept any transshipments going to or from China coming into Mexico or the US ports The illegal nets go to the fishermen, the fishermen sell their catch and any dead porpoises to the Chinese, the Chinese sale their illegal catch on the black market, the black market sells opium, feedstock, and crack juice back to the fishermen and they deliver it to the Cartel, the cartel turns the feedstock into drugs which get imported into the US, the drugs are then sold to the pushers and counterfeiters, and counterfeit cash, guns, and fishing gear go south starting the process all over again.
We need to block the shipments on both sides it is time to put the Sinaloan Cartel out of business.
Lol you really think we can stop it!? Lol you funny US you can’t even stop school shootings. Try that first US lol
Washington State has no drug laws that are effective but Attorney General of Washington State Robert Ferguson feels to answer the no drug laws is to take away the law abiding citizens guns.
The USA government hold the gun receipts.
0:46 that’s a lie.
🇺🇸🇺🇸USELESS RHETORIC BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION OF OFFICIALS & EMPLOYEES & 👿STRONG ARM THUGS & CARTELS ON BOTH SIDES
