And you really believe the US is that serious about drugs entering from South America? They are wayyy more concerned about Hispanics becoming the majority. Guns used by the Mexican cartels are from the US.... weapons that can be bought legally. [b]US military been involved in the war on drugs in South America for decades.... nothing has changed. [/b]Why?... cause they also been running drugs. Same while in Afghanistan.... headlines they were crippling heroin production since that was the source of the Taliban funding. In reality?.... heroin production soared to record levels.

So true from the days of president reagan

Guns smuggled into Mexico are sometimes obtained at gunshops in the United States and carried across the US-Mexico border. In other cases the guns are obtained through Guatemalan borders or stolen from the police or military. Consequently, black market firearms are widely available.... no doubt..

The US government is not really concerned about the arms..because not everyone can hav the courage to carry one around... but the main issue is Drug smuggling...

Over 100k US citizen die annually with drug related issue
While 4million citizen register to rehab time to time...

The US ain't happy about this because its destroying the future citizens... One thing the US care most about is thier citizens ...

I don't think their is a valid reason why rhe CIA will choose to smuggle drug into the US...

To sell? Or purposely destroy the lives of their citizens?

They may work along with some smugglers as cover just to get some Intel... but I don't think they purposely bring them into the United States for sniffing

Those stories may be propaganda

No bro it is not propaganda, the CIA actually brought drugs into the USA to destroy the black community, that was when they had the crack epidemic,they gave guns to the rebels in nicaragua and those ones gave them drugs and they shipped the drugs back to America to raise money to fund the war in South America, crazy right? Lol, but its true

You think they are poorer than our people? grin Do you know how much you have to pay Runners to cross you? Or you aren't aware the routes are controlled by different drug cartels? People pay over 2k to 5k dollars to be smuggled in. How much is flight ticket to Europe?

Listen, many of them have families and/or relatives in the US. Many parents were deported leaving their kids or spouse. Same happen with people from the middle East. When they get deported from the UK, they follow France or Belgium back to the UK. They could easily settle in France if they desire but because of the reasons above, they use trucks to sneak into the UK.

Aside that, America has endless opportunities.


Many people think Mexico is a very poor country but the are not, the have the 15th largest economy in the world

as much as they are better than many countries out there, mexicans are still suffering and they understand that they will have a better life on the other side of the border. who no like better things?! Mexico is today the backdoor entry to the US. majority of illegal immigrants from all over the world (Africa, Asia, south america) go through Mexico.

BTW a visa free passport (to most countries in the world) is worthless if you aint got money to travel out your country.

But they are Visa free to Canada, that has way more opportunities...why dont they go there??

Mexican population in the US as of 2019 is 60m+..
Meaning...it's a second home for the Mexicans... where they can easily meet majority of their people at every angle..

America is a free country...
If you respect the law and stay away from crime... you can do extremely well for yourself even without paperwork... EU, UK don't really hav room for that...

Once you hav a greencard as a Mexican...it's easy to visit home by just boarding a bus


Simple illustrations grin

Let's imagine Benin republic turn America overnight
And luckily the turnover affected Nigeria in a little way by The UK and EU signing a visa free country with our passport...

Now where will you go?
EU, UK free visa for Nigerians passport
Benin turn America overnight??

grin grin

60m+ what?? Make ona dey reduce lies na... wetin come be the total population of America?? 300M+ and Mexicans come be 60M+...?? How many people come remain for mexico na?? Ona don start lies and bad life again oo

its easy to try to think like others (with better passport) but remember that A) the reason Mexicans love California (or the south of US) is because you can easily make your way around without speaking English. you are never too far from someone who speaks fluent Spanish)... B) its WARM in the south of the US, compared to cold Canada....but most importantly C) its as easy as 1-2-3 to find a job in Cali being an illegal immigrant than in Canada. remember, just because its a visa free country for TOURISM, it doesnt mean you will easily get a working visa and/or a job.

i doubt Canada has more jobs for Mexicans than the US, but i am sure that the ones who have the right skills, probably are already there with valid working visas.

If that was their motive to destroy black community...

I can tell you.. white population taking drugs right now is on the high level...

So the damage control is not considered I believe when this decision was made

you are greatly mistaking,,,the total HISPANIC population in the US is +60M...meaning US citizen of hispanic decent (aka Cubans, Colombians, Mexicans etc background)..... and certainly not Mexican citizen (illegal or not) living in the US, duh!

legally, there is about 10M Mexicans legally living in the US, and an estimated 15M living illegally there.

thats because their plan backfired....yes the US gov indeed brought cocaine to the US and the crack epidemic is part of it....now its a different epidemic though (opioid, which affect whites mostly).

now think about it....where does opioid (heroin) comes from? Afghanistan....now, the US has been in Afghanistan for +15yrs and suddenly in the last decade, the country is ravaged by heroin addiction. do the math. sadly they never think ahead so unfortunately, Fentanyl (which is a cheap generic drug better/similar to Heroin) is now taking over thanks to the Chinese, so their plan is also backfiring there too.

OP, it's not a mystery as to why Mexicans focus on the US for immigration purposes. If your are a developing country and your neighbour happens to be the richest country in the world, won't you focus all your efforts to go that neighbour instead of other places that are too far? Secondly, many parts of the US used to belong to Mexico. So why not immigrate to what you are familiar instead of places you don't understand? Thirdly, while the Mexican passport is powerful, Mexicans like most Latin Americans, don't migrate across the atlantic to Europe because of distance. That's the VERY reason why they have visa-free access to most European countries. Do you lots honestly think that if Latin America was next door to Europe like Africa and Asia, they won't be rushing to Europe in their millions? Location, history and family ties are contributing factors to prospective immigrants all over the globe.

Ask yourself this question: why do most people from North Africa (Moroccans, Tunisians and Algerians) focus on migrating to Europe as opposed to other muslim countries in the gulf? Proximity, history and colonial ties. The same thing with Turks migrating to Germany. Why focus on Germany when the oil rich gulf states are closer to them? Turks have been migrating to Germany since the 70s. They are the largest ethnic minority there. I hope this has answered your question.
