Worst Than You Think: INSIDE Mexico's Cartel Drug & Oil Trade And It's Getting Worse | Borderland #7

He sounds more like a political activist than an undercover agent.

[@ogboost7610]

It just the same old stuff out of these guys. They never talk about solutions. Dont want to give the optics of taking sides. Listen to the intro and its full of platitudes seeking the truth blah blah blah. It’s all iust to make money on youtube and sell books

I think he's a full-blown demonrat..

​@@ogboost7610What solutions?? It's like trying to get black people to stop killing each other. Or stopping Americans from drinking Cocacola & eating McDonalds. The only thing you can do is try to lead them to Jesus & lead them to the truth of their ways. Very, very, very, difficult.

[@juniorv.3049]

He lost me when he started calling America stolen land. If he considers it stolen, why not just move to Mexico?

[@Thrashmetal2130]

Ya rly what does he think happened when the spanish came to mexico huh? "Stolen" pretty sure it was conquered which is why they all speak SPANISH!duuuuuuhhhh

[@john1425]

And give mexico back to the native Americans and South america.

[@blackbeard0323]

Old dude sounded just that. If I remember correctly, he was part of the reason why things are how they're now through his self-proclaimed undercover work! However, he sounds like a standard CNN news report with only thoughts of old tactics, that they couldn't make work so now everyone has to pay and sorry buddy but you're only partially correct...

That dude is not very smart himself. I’ll say that. He says we need to control things but then gives no options and just says we need to let them in and then says crime is the reason the guns are there. Like so what is his actual solution?

[@monkeydan11b]

Came here to hear about cartels and got a lecture about how we need to be woke socialists.

[@scottyg5403]

Yeah this guy seems to be behind the eight-ball with some of his information. No matter what side you're on I think everyone can agree that the border is out of control and needs some kind of upgrade in the system.

From everything I see some cartels have legit companies and have members working for or are part of the government. They have legit businesses here in the US as well. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t part of our’s as well. I hope you’ll be able to have Luis Chaparro or Ed Calderon. I like both of those people. They always have plenty of new information

[@christinet6336]

I'm glad you brought this gentleman on the show. He's not a mouthpiece. He has real experience and knows the historical foreign policy of the USA as it pertains to Mexico, Central and South America. He understands who's really bringing drugs into the country and why the cartels have gotten so powerful (hint: it's not because of Mexico's presidents... it's because of US foreign policy). Great job. Please bring on more people like this because this is how your audience will get the education they need instead of just opinions of far-right propagandists seeking their 15 minutes.

[@Emberxxx2002]

I guess the treaties with Spain and Mexico ceding land to the US must have escaped this guys' education, since he thinks that the land was stolen. And as far as barriers in the Rio Grand are concerned, no one said that they have to cross THERE. So claiming that barriers were designed to drown women and children is ludicrous. They are a deterrent against crossing THERE. But you can't convince some people with facts.

Interviewer is disrespectful to his guest at some point. Although you may know the facts of a story, it is important to round it up for all listeners, esp given that your guest is an absolute hero.

[@Anthropic312]

The Spaniards held a large amount of territory, and what is now the USA, but it was sparsely populated, and it was mostly warring Indian tribes from up here. There were also misos and Americans located throughout the land. The Spanish empire fell, and Mexico declared independence. So did Texas. After 10 years, Texas joined the United States as it was, mostly American populated to begin with. That’s what they wanted to do. They had a dispute with Mexico as to what the southern border is. Which river is the southern border. That caused the Mexican American war. The Americans won the Mexican American war. They negotiated a cash and debt settlement in negotiations to cede these western territories which was all always a national security threat and various countries try to dominate. There was Spain there was France, and there was even Russia in the northwest territory. This is the American policy of manifest destiny, which is the understanding that we must control the land from coast to coast and create northern and southern borders to have a continuous country that can be defended. So the Mexican American war was over the Texas border, but it turned out to be good fortune for the Americans in that with winning the war, they could negotiate the acquisition of this wilderness territory. Mind you, the territory was populated by more Americans than anything. In fact, Spain encouraged Americans to populate that territory to help combat Indian tribes who of often rated south into Mexico, such as the Comanche and the Apache. So the land was not stolen. And we are going to sit here 170 years later and hit each other. It makes absolutely no sense. Mexicans continue to settle in the United States and we love our Mexican population and at this point we have so many immigrants from so many places we are mixed with all of them. To try to spark up some kind of 170 year land claim is a bunch of bullshit. Maybe this guy should move out of New Mexico and on a college campus and take a few classes
