This president needs to call a meeting of the Organization of American States and create a political climate for intervention. They have to know that the drug cartels are not running the country without buying off the politicians, so this is not a friendly intervention, it is exactly like Bush’s intervention in Panama. We have got to round up the cartels and the politicians and put them in jail where they can’t get out. Then, level the playing field with new political parties and an open, free and un-intimidated election. Then and only then will the migrations stop.
It can be done; we proved it in Panama. We will also have to remember if the lesson doesn’t take with the action against El Salvador and Honduras, we must be ready to do the same in Guatemala and Mexico – both are on the doorstep of a failed state. Taking children from their parents like a bunch of Nazis at our border is not what I would call competent governance.
