These Mexican drug cartels have been around for a while. The difference now is fentanyl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a drug problem; this is not a war on drug problem; this is a poisoning problem,\u201d Crenshaw declared. \u201cAnd they are killing about 80,000 Americans a year. And the Mexican government does very little to thwart this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there should be bipartisan efforts in Congress to pass an Authorized Use of Military Force to deal with them,\u201d He stated. \u201cIf anything, that simply gives our president more leverage when trying to get the Mexican government to do its job, its job on thwarting immigration, which the cartels also control, and thwarting fentanyl coming north across our border and killing American citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw was horrified at the evil intentions of drug cartels. \u201cThese people are a lot more like ISIS than they are the mafia. You recently saw a war in the state of Sinaloa after the Mexican government arrested El Chapo\u2019s son. These cartels can actually battle close air-support; they\u2019re battling government helicopters. This looks a lot like Mogadishu; it looks a lot more like Mogadishu that it does your typical organized crime battle, these people are well-equipped, they set up operating bases that are well-armed, right near our border, and they\u2019re extremely dangerous. They\u2019re some of the most capable, most well-funded, most dangerous organizations on the planet, and they\u2019re right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMexico is at risk of becoming a failed state,\u201d He noted. \u201cWe have to work together with their government to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mexican government has always resisted more U.S. involvement, and that\u2019s to their detriment,\u201d He was insistent. \u201cAnd so we are at a point now where their resistance is not only hurting them, it\u2019s killing our citizens. And that\u2019s when we have to say enough is enough; you\u2019re gonna cooperate with us; we have an AUMF here that we\u2019ve given the president military authority now; and so you\u2019d better work with us, because we don\u2019t want to do this without you but we will.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Rep.
