Lee, pls write to the White House… they do read what people say. Months passed i wrote in regard to this issue also suggesting ( as per economist Martin Armstrong ) that The US also operates SSI as a wealth fund to reduce stress burden on US residents………. literally 2 days later Trump issued an executive order to operate SSI as a Wealth Fund … naturally as long as there is a market – suppliers will find the way…. eliminate the market for drugs… suppliers will find another market…101

Where there is a strong demand and lucrative profits, supply will be met either legally or in the black market. Fentanyl is a unique drug in how fast it becomes addictive and how deadly it is. Fentanyl use is much higher in the US than Mexico. The long-term solution is mandatory education in US high schools on its danger. That would be money well spent. Gun-nut 2nd Amendment pushers in the US think they are doing Mexico a favor shipping guns south so there will unlikely be any solution restricting that. Mx and the US have the highest gun homicides in the world. If Sandy Hook could not spawn more gun controls in the US, nothing will. Just learn accept the insanity.

Shifting the blame of US citizens drug addiction onto Mexico is ludicrous. The only way to solve the drug problem in the United States is through drug interdiction, demand reduction, and treatment. Stopping the flow of drugs from Mexico solves nothing because drugs are shipped all to and from all over the world. Mexico continues to cooperate with the United States and has proven its willingness to support the United States.
The United States needs to take responsibility for all the guns manufactured for Mexico as well as for its own problems in economic disparity and homelessness. Pot calling the kettle black? Where are the grown ups in the United States?

Clearly diplomacy in the United States is near non-existent if the 30% tariffs become reality.
The continued bullying, debasing and intimidation of the Mexican government and its people is distressing and disgraceful. The current administration of the United States appears to have no moral compass and feeds on hate, fear and avarice.

The US government also feed off the fears of its own citizens. Cruelty is widespread in the United States as the federal government swiftly takes away as well as slowly chips away at U.S. citizens rights under its constitution. What benefit from tariffs does the ordinary citizen have in any country? None.

In the meantime, Mexico and other countries are blamed, forced, and bullied by this administration. Insulting, threatening and rattling others is such low brow behavior. Who raised these children to become badly behaved adults?

Tariffs increase poverty everywhere and tariffs potentially start wars. There are no winners when we do not resolve our issues by compromise and good faith through diplomacy. I am so proud of President Claudia Sheinbaum and her steadfast calm composure, very firm stance, unwavering commitment and leadership. May her consistent leadership continue to inspire myself as well as others.

Thank you Mr. Weiss and Mr. Caguichi! Maybe others will listen so snarly and obnoxious comments will disappear and more important, valuable and educational opinions prosper.

The liberals that comment here come off as partisans on the fringe not thought provoking. The attacks are always personal never addressing the underlying issues just hyper partisan nonsense.
