@@sinead7215 Then she could've said simply: "Mexico would never allow their sovereignity undermined in that way.", just take the question literally, but the thing is, she didn't even want to move in that direction, because she saw what was down the line: Why isn't there more cooperation with Mexico to stop this? Why isn't there more pressure on Mexico (diplomatic or economic) to stop this. She didn't want to go there because that puts blame for the Fentanyl crisis on the "Biden Harris" administration.

Awesome questions by Mr. Kennedy, and as usual pathetic answers from a democrat witness. It’s been known forever that Mexico is a narco state completely run by the drug cartels with most politicians being bought and paid for by those same cartels. Obrador is clearly one of them. It’s high time we start looking at the strong possibility that politicians on our side of the border as well as others are similarly on the take also. This is not rocket science as far as difficulty to solve as problems go. The cartels only understand and respect one thing - violence. We could deliver that in overwhelming fashion and completely wipe out their little piss ant organizations if the political will to do it was there. Sadly, government corruption on both sides is preventing that from ever happening.

We need a new law. When government bureaucrats refuse to answer simple questions from members of Congress, they should be immediately arrested for contempt of Congress and serve a minimum sentence of 60 days in jail. That might put an end to some of this ridiculous evasiveness, equivocation and outright lying.

I am one of 10 that use to be at my house everyday that is alive. and Mr. Kennedy, sir, my hat is off to you!! Something needs to be done. We already have programs in place to help them stop, if they want to. Key word is 'Want."
