The reasons behind me saying it is an act of war is these groups specifically the Zetas have killed now two American citizens within months. Both of which were missionaries trying to help Mexican people. The Mexican government has done nothing and will continue to do very little. City police forces are quitting and the cartels and Zetas get more powerful. There is no law. When it concerns our citizens and violence spills over our border and the home country won’t act it becomes a situation where we must do something.
When their problems and their violence is killing innocent US citizens it is now our problem as a country.
Maybe they should bring it to the rest of the country for the rest of the US to understand.
I know it must be hard to imagine in the Northern states what kind of problem and the scope of the problem we are facing.
