During
an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Castañeda suggested that drug
cartels could be unleashed on the U.S. as retribution for Trump’s
aggressive stance towards Mexico.
“Mexico
has a lot of negotiating chips in this matter, Fareed, but it also has
measures we could take in other areas,” said Castañeda. “For example,
the drugs that come through Mexico from South America, or the drugs that
are produced here in Mexico all go to the United States. This is not
our problem. We have been cooperating with the United States for many
years on these issues because they’ve asked us to and because we have a
friendly, trustful relationship. If that relationship disappears, the
reasons for cooperation also disappear.”
Castañeda
is clearly suggesting that Mexican authorities could take a hands off
approach to stopping drug traffickers as part of a revenge attack
against Trump.
“The implications
are astoundingly clear – Mexico would consider exporting chaos and
violence into the United States as a form of payback for immigration
restrictions and controls against the instability that the southern
border has brought to the country for decades,” comments Mac Slavo.
The
irony of course is that any intensification of chaos on the border
would only serve to strengthen Trump’s hand when it came to building the
wall and deporting illegals.
From 2006-2010 alone, Mexican drug cartels killed around 34,000 people, and that’s just on the Mexican side. Those murders included gruesome ISIS-style beheadings and other grisly executions.
