Want to loosen the cartel’s grip? End the drug war.
Putting up a fence does jack shit to stop smuggling. You can literally just throw drugs over a fence....
Name a single major fence/wall/barrier in history that has fulfilled it’s purpose?
Walls of Troy? City burned to the ground.
Hadrian’s Wall? Marked the high water mark of the Roman empire and Rome began to crumble soon after.
Great Wall of China? China invaded by huns and lived under hun rule for over a century.
Maginot Line? Hitler’s army walked around it.
Berlin Wall? A historical footnote that Lord Almighty Reagan thought was an abomination.
The 38th parallel in Korea is the most heavily guarded border in the world. It’s 1/10th the size a wall on the southern border would be and defended by 30,000 American troops and tens of thousands of Korean troops, and has a several hundred foot wide no man’s land filled with landmines...AND YET, North Korea regularly manages to kidnap South Koreans through tunnels.
If you support a fence you’re a fucking idiot. Period.

You clearly don't understand the cartels.
Drugs aren't even their major source of revenue now.
Get with the times, senpai, this is 2016 and the cartels are more like highly diversified multinational corporations.
They make more money from massive illegal mining and logging operations than from drugs now days (mostly selling to China)
They have laundered money invested in legit businesses all over the world.
Classic mafia shit like extortion, gambling, kidnapping, massive theft (especially of oil by siphoning mexican pipelines) etc. are supplementary sources of income as well.

Doesn't change the fact that it was doing it's purpose though

Which is funny because the second pot was legalized in Colorado, the drug cartels moved in, mass produced it and then transported it all over the country.

all pot growers that I know personally or know of have nothing to with the cartel
