Drug Cartels Ravaging Arizona, Montana Indian Reservations

Last week, Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris's running mate, appeared at a rally in Window Rock, Arizona. Window Rock is the capital of the Navajo Nation. 

For some odd reason, Native Americans tend to vote Democrat. But in doing so, they are cutting their own throats as the open border policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are allowing the drug cartels target tribal reservations.

The Daily Signal reported:

The Biden-Harris administration’s border crisis has had negative implications for all Americans, but one group that has suffered more than most—but received less attention than others—are American Indians living on reservations along the border.

As part of their efforts to smuggle drugs and traffic human beings across the southern border, Mexican cartels have specifically targeted and devastated these reservations.

Jurisdictional issues, insufficient law enforcement, and the open border all allow cartels to exploit tribal land and proliferate deadly substances like fentanyl on American Indian land.

Hopefully, former President Trump's rally in Albuquerque yesterday will do some good in swaying tribes to vote more Republican than in the past.

Trump To Designate Mexican Drug Cartels As Terrorist Groups

President Trump announced that he plans to designate Mexican drug cartels as "terrorist groups". 

Thus far, the Mexican government has done little or nothing to eradicate the cartels.

The New York Post reported:

President Trump said he plans to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups and “start hitting them with drones.” 

“I don’t want to say what I’m going to do, but they will be designated,” Trump told former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly in a radio interview Tuesday. 

“I will be designating the cartels . . . absolutely. I have been working on that for the last 90 days,” he added. 

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador responded Wednesday, saying, “Cooperation, yes, interventionism, no.” 

The leftist leader noted that he asked Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard to set up talks with Washington. Ebrard said he was “already in communication” with Team Trump.

Mick Rich, a Republican primary candidate for U.S. Senate for New Mexico, noted:

The Mexican government has failed to stop the drug cartels, yet Ben Ray Lujan [Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate] wants open borders. That’s a dangerous combination. As your next U.S. Senator, I will treat drug cartels as terrorists. I take your security seriously.

Lujan's cousin, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, opposes the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
