Mexican drug cartels person in charge For the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands of people over the past 20 years. Considering the fentanyl they smuggle into the United States, cartels are also guilty of people's deaths. Over 200 Americans per day. In addition to dealing with murder and poisoning, they routinely engage in acts such as: mass kidnappingrape, torture, political blackmail.
President Donald Trump clearly wants change issued Monday's executive order sets the stage for the designation of Mexican cartels and other criminal organizations operating in the Western Hemisphere, including MS-13, as foreign terrorist organizations.
The New York Times said the new year and the new administration gave it an opportunity to embrace common sense, but on Wednesday it was back to business as usual. stir up concern On the economic impact of President Trump's plan to identify and hold terrorists accountable.
Times article — paper compromised Reflexively printing Hamas propaganda by the CIA during the Cold War and weighing in on recent Democratic attacks on conservative Supreme Court justices—as noted at the outset, “transferring Mexican cartels and other criminal organizations to foreign countries'' President Trump's executive order designating people as terrorists could impose coercion on some people.'' U.S. companies should refrain from doing business in Mexico rather than risk U.S. sanctions. ”
Maria Abihabib and Simon Romero of the Mexico City-based Times write that American companies, fearing sanctions, are discouraged from doing business south of the border, especially against terrorists involved at various levels in supposedly legal industries. He suggested that he may reconsider doing business with the company. to this country's multi-billion dollar tourism industry. ” Terrorist designation could facilitate the prosecution of companies and individuals suspected of collaborating with cartels and ultimately lead to remittances to compromised Mexican companies.
Terrorist financing expert Fabian Teichmann told the Times that banks could be among the organizations that ultimately decide doing business with potential cartel members is no longer worthwhile. .
“Banks may say, 'We don't want to be around people who are considered terrorists, so we want to avoid that risk,'” Teichmann said. “From a bank's perspective, that would be a very rational decision.”
“Cartel activities threaten the safety of the American people, the security of the United States, and the stability of the international order.”
Of course, there are steps companies can take to avoid collaborating with terrorists.
American company FTI Consulting noticed “The potential FTO designation highlights the urgent need for enhanced due diligence when engaging with third parties,” a recent report said.
“Recommended measures include conducting thorough background checks on potential partners, suppliers, employees and customers to ensure direct or indirect links to criminal organizations. ” the report continued. “A third-party risk assessment should include close monitoring of changes in ownership, financial health, and legal status. Enhanced due diligence includes regular updates to internal databases, OFAC It also requires cross-referencing with and other international sanctions lists, and the use of advanced screening tools for continuous monitoring.'' ”
The FTI report cited in the Times report revealed that there are possible steps that can be taken to ensure that companies do not end up in bed with killers, but nevertheless, Mr. Abihabib and Romero doubts it is possible to identify companies without criminal activity. It is implied that the greater risk is not that Americans do business with mass-murdering rapists or drug traffickers, but what happens economically if they rise to higher positions.
The Times did not consider the potential benefits of Trump's presidency, such as reducing terrorism and curbing the opioid crisis that has hurt the United States. Estimation 1.5 trillion in 2020 alone, suggesting the terrorist designation could force American companies to divest Mexican workers. There was a loss to the Mexican economy in the form of reduced remittances, and the people received less. $63.3 billion In 2023. and unilateral American military attacks against terrorists and terrorist facilities.
Trump, who is tasked with doing something the New York Times doesn't like, has other concerns.
“Cartel activity threatens the safety of the American people, the security of the United States, and the stability of the international order in the Western Hemisphere,” he said in Monday's executive order. “Their activities, access to, and incursions into U.S. physical territory pose an unacceptable national security risk to the United States.”
“New York Times journalists get together in editorial meetings and actually come up with all this nonsense.”
“It is the policy of the United States to completely eliminate the presence of these organizations in the United States and their ability to threaten the territory, safety, and security of the United States through extraterritorial command and control structures. The American people and the territorial integrity of the United States protect,” the president added.
Utah State Sen. Mike Lee (R) on the Times article I wrote“The New York Times published its own version of the term “abrasos no balazos'' — “hugs, not bullets'' — popularized by former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López-Obrador, and used it to target drug cartels. We are calling for a calm response.”
“That was a bad strategy for Mexico,” Lee continued. “It won’t work in the U.S. either.”
“Of course, it's the New York Times that is inventing this framework.” tweeted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (Republican).
Stephen Miller, contributing editor of The Spectator, said: I wrote“A room full of New York Times reporters gets together in an editorial meeting and actually comes up with this shit and publishes it. There's not a single person in the room who says, Wait a minute.”
