Team Trump Debates 'How Much Should We Invade Mexico?'
www.rollingstone.com
The idea America should invade Mexico has become increasingly mainstream among Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers.

Summary

President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration are debating the extent of potential U.S. military action against Mexican drug cartels.

Options discussed include targeted airstrikes, cyberattacks, covert operations, and “soft invasions” using special forces. Trump has warned Mexico to curb fentanyl trafficking or face military intervention.

His key appointees, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, support some form of military action, framing cartels as terrorist threats.

Critics fear this could escalate tensions with Mexico and spark significant international controversy.

    Invade Mexico for what? Is this one of those “if we make them part of the country, there won’t be a border to cross” type of things?

    Edit: Haha I didn’t read they wanted to go after the cartels.
