Sounds like they are. They're going to let America fight its drug war in America.

They're not though, they have constantly capitulated to the cartels over the last few years and more. The cartels are literal terrorist scum and should be wiped the fuck out

Except it isn't that easy to just "wipe them out". It'd be like dealing with a very well armed, very large resistance movement and would probably start a civil war. Without support from somewhere (like the US) it would be political (and probably regular) suicide
