Border

Border crossings have been reduced to 7,000 per month instead of 7,000 per day. Drug seizers are down 50% and human trafficking is down which means fewer unaccompanied minors and fewer young women and girls be molested. This has made a serious dent in the money going to the cartels which helps the new Mexican president to get control of the country. The Mexican government is cooperating with the US allowing CIA drones to fly over Northern Mexico to spot fentanyl labs. The US is putting pressure on China to stop the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals from coming to the US. Mexico was on the path to becoming a drug country as the cartels have infiltrated government institutions, law enforcement, and even businesses. In the last ten years murders in Mexico have gone from 25,000 per year to 35,000. The US with 2.5 times more people had 25,000 murders in 2024.
