should the US designate drug cartels as terrorist groups ?

[yidnar]

with the deaths of 10s of thousands of Americans every year overdosing from deadly drugs like fentanyl that are shipped into the US by cartels not to mention the violence and terror they carry out south of the border against their enemies [both civilians , law enforcement ,and political leaders ] shouldnt the US recognize the drug cartels as terrorist organizations ? and much of the reason many people are flooding across our southern border is due to the violence and instability drug cartels foment south of the border .

Yes.

Absolutely.

Biden and the Dems will never do it because the Drug Cartels and Human Traffickers are part of their open borders coalition.

if Isis was smuggling a substance into the US that killed nearly a hundred thousand citizens they would consider it the greatest blow against the US by her enemies in history .

Former president Barry Hussein's political guru and sometimes partner, Bill Ayers, was a genuine terrorist who was guilty of about a hundred federal felonies involving explosive devices and the deaths of four members of his gang. He never did a day in prison because a friendly judge dismissed all the charges. Today he is a professor in a law school. There is no statute of limitations on murder so maybe it's still possible to indict him for the felony murder of his gang who were blown up by a bomb they intended to use on Ft. Dix soldiers.

Sounds good to me.

I thought the drug cartels, or @ least some of the drug cartels were listed as terrorist organizations by agencies of both the Mexican & U.S. federal government? I've read that the country of Venezuela alone has or had company(3 or 4 platoons) sized communist guerilla cells scattered around country. These are not just kids running around trying to make a sale in a parking lot @ night. Theses drug cartel cells are made up of professionally trained mercenaries from Venezuela, Cuba, Syria & God only knows where else. These mercenaries are trained on weapons ranging from a variety of select fire small arm weapons up to the venerable 50 cal M2 Browning & even anti armor weapons, not to mention grenades, trip wire activated mines etc.

Mercenaries are professionally trained soldiers that are for hire to who ever can afford to hire them. There are no ethics to mercenaries as all they do is kill other humans for $$$$$(think Terminator!). This is WHY the Mexico police/military can't stop the various drug cartels for the cartels mercenaries are too well organized, too well armed & too experienced for the Mexican government to handle. Mexico could try to erect a wall on its southern border to keep the drug cartels out of Mexico but the mercenaries would take it down with RPG's & composition C-4 explosive faster than they could erect the wall. I wonder how many of these mercenaries made it into our USA through the open border amnesty program???

The Weather Underground (ironically named after a capitalist entertainer Bob Dylan "you don't need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows") was a terrorist organization in every sense of the word. They may have engaged in murder and bank robbery to finance their operation but their intent was to terrorize Americans and they did so for more than a decade. Drug smugglers don't give a damn whether Americans are terrorized and perhaps they hope we remain ignorant of the concept while they rake in the money. Another ironic aspect is the ATF arming Mexican drug cartels during Barry Hussein's administration with thousands of illegal weapons in "Op-Fast/Furious".
