I agree the situation is dire, but do not underestimate the US government’s ability to spend its way to gain a desired result. The first time a bullet hits US soil there will be 50 million people falling over themselves to manufacture shoes by hand if it helps “kill the bad guys”

Does this somehow not apply for cartel violence that spills over the border, the same cartels that have been declared as terrorist organizations ?

I am finding it difficult to imagine it'll be any different for terrorists of a different ethnicity.
