It sounds as if Trump is serious about dealing with the cartels with the U.S military. Politicians making death threats, wow.
The issue is, how will they be cleaned up without just being replaced by the next generation? It will help but it won't fix it permanently unless Mexico gets serious.
Mexico's Senate erupted into a brawl on Wednesday with senators throwing punches, pushing and shouting following a heated debate over alleged calls for the United States military to intervene against drug cartels.
Alejandro "Alito" Moreno, head of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), confronted Senate president Gerardo Fernandez NoroƱa of the ruling Morena party, as lawmakers were singing the national anthem to mark the end of the day's hearing.
The tussle broke out after a debate about the presence of armed forces from other countries in Mexico, Fernandez NoroƱa said in a press conference after the fight.
In a livestreamed video, Moreno could be seen approaching Fernandez NoroƱa, reportedly saying, "I'm asking you to let me speak," and grabbing Fernandez NoroƱa by the arm.
"Don't touch me," Fernandez NoroƱa reportedly responded.
That's when the two began pushing each other, with Moreno knocking over a photographer during the fight.
Another lawmaker entered the scuffle, swinging at Fernandez NoroƱa as he tried to step away.
"(Moreno) started pulling on me, touching me, pushing. He hit me and said, 'I'm going to beat the s--- out of you, I'm going to kill you,'" Fernandez NoroƱa alleged.
