The drug trade extending from Mexico into the US is a genuinely massive problem. As always, the propaganda used by the far-right never trades just in falsities, but takes a real problem which has to an important degree grown organically under the influence of both domestic and international market and political forces, and presents it in such a way so as to give the impression that Mexicans are 'invading' the US with their drugs etc., whereas it would not be possible without the history of, in particular, US involvement in supporting central and south American drug cartels and drug-trafficking far-right paramilitaries (blending into the same thing: like, where do people think the cartels learned how to operate so militarily like a parallel state?). The cartels who control the drug trade in Mexico are almost a state within a state, and look downright military compared to many other organized crime groups. But, imo, there are definitely interests within both countres' broader state structures for the trade to continue. There's too much money involved. The U$American $ has purchasing power. The intentions behind the presentation of the drug trade and war in the West, above all in the USA, even when intentional ops, don't exhaust the different interests different parts of the two states' wrt the drug trade.
