It explicitly mentions why in the article:
When a group is designated as a terrorist organisation in the US, it becomes illegal for people in the US to knowingly offer support.

Its members are also banned from entering the US. If they are already in the US, they face being deported.

If financial institutions discover they have funds connected to the group, they are required to block the money and alert the US Treasury Department.

Some analysts suggest that the designation could affect the supply of weapons to the cartels from the US.

Earlier this year a US government study traced more than 150,000 firearms including assault rifles back from Mexican criminals to gun shops and factories in the US.

Under anti-terror laws, those who purchase the guns in the US for the cartels could face much heavier penalties.

Other analysts suggest such a designation could complicate possible Mexican government negotiations with cartels as well as efforts by US agencies and NGOs to support peace moves.

This is quite possibly the only correct thing Donald has done during his time in office, and it's almost kind of surprising it wasn't done before.

Compared to most of our military actions in the last two decades, this would probably be the most justified, but only with the cooperation of the Mexican government.

Hopefully once Trump is out his family will be declared a terrorist organization so these sanctions can be placed upon them.

Good. The cartel is absolutely evil and right next door. More action should be taken against them and people who deal business with them.

more likely to create an afghanistan situation in our own backyard tho.

you think you have a border crisis now, wait til drones start flying over ciudad juarez


At least the cartels are more logic driven... Just starve them of what they need. I smell legalization of more drugs. Use the taxes to bomb them

Nothing. We're not going to charge into Mexico with unsanctioned force (at least, not more than we do already), the cartels have half of central America's government officials in their pockets and we're not going to start flipping governments down there.

Also, cartels have a ton more resources than, say, ISIS does.

This is just Trump giving his base a reacharound.

Eh. I've been thinking we should annex Mexico and use that situation as an opportunity to turn the military against the cartels for a while.

I say annex Mexico, using the military to hit the cartels within Mexico as hard as we can, then carve Mexico up into several states and give all the Mexicans American citizenship. Don't have to worry about Mexicans crossing the border illegally if you extend the border to take Mexico as our own and the narrower border at the southern end of Mexico would probably be easier to manage, so you don't have to debate building a useless wall from California to Texas.

If we knew where they were, we'd already take care of them. I'm getting the sense you haven't thought this through.

When the cartels cant make money selling drugs, they turn to kidnapping and extortion. They dont just disappear.


This. They aren't going to just throw their hands up in defeat because drugs become legal. They'll turn to other avenues of illicit gain.

Legalize what? Weed, sure. But I just can't see an argument to legalizing heroine and meth.
