we have to fly/sail to afganistan, literally just roll tanks across the boarder to mexico.

Sure getting there is easier, but thats the last thing that is. The cartels outnumber the taliban, have more money then the taliban, have better weapons then the taliban, have better training then the taliban, and have absolutely no limits. At all. They kill innocent people just to send a message. A few years ago one csrtel rolled up to a casino and boarded up all the windows and doors and burned everyone in it alive. About 50 people died. This was must because they could. A year or two ago some head of the cartel or his son was being held by the police, so the cartel he was from waged war on and took over the city until he was freed.

Many of the cartel members are former military. They join the military for training then go into the cartels. They also have a lot of former special forces members. Imagine if a seal team decided to form a drug cartel and had no limits as to who they would kill. Think of the damage they could do. All the cartels together literally have a few hundred thousand people. They also control 20% of Mexico. This wouldn't be some simple go across the boarder and flush them out. Think of Vietnam times ten.
