... it seems that "Mexico First" would mean protecting citizens from the psychotic monsters that run the cartels, not hugging the psychotic monsters that regularly leave the bodies of innocent citizens in the streets.
The total saturation of corruption in law enforcement coupled with the heavily armed manpower of the cartels probably means the Mexican government is outgunned. Historically, appeasement of an aggressor has never been a successful strategy. Just ask Neville Chamberlain.
It would also seem that, if an official is still alive, then he's on the take.
