President
Trump on Tuesday offered U.S. assistance as he called on Mexico to
“wage war” against the country's murderous drug cartel “monsters” in
response to the brutal killing of multiple Americans a day earlier.
“If
Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the
United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do
the job quickly and effectively,” Trump tweeted. “The great new
President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have
become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat
an army!”
A wonderful family and friends from Utah got caught between two vicious drug cartels, who were shooting at each other, with the result being many great American people killed, including young children, and some missing. If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these.....
....monsters, the United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively. The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!
Officials say at least six children and three women, apparently all U.S. citizens living in a community of Americans in Mexico,
were gunned down after their convoy came under fire during a daylight
ambush Monday. Six children were found alive, five of whom have been
taken to hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. One child is currently missing,
and authorities are searching the mountainous area on the
Sonora-Chihuahua border for the child.
Those attacked were members of the LeBaron family, a well-known
American clan who has lived in the community in the northern part of the
country for decades, according to The New York Times. The
attack targeted citizens who live in a community founded as part of an
offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "This
is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR
on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth," Trump
tweeted. "We merely await a call from your great new president!"

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador refused that approach, however,
saying at a Tuesday news conference, "The worst thing you can have is
war." "We declared war, and it didn't work," Lopez Obrador said,
referring to the policies of previous administrations. "That is not an
option." Trump has repeatedly raised concerns about levels of gang
violence and drug-related crime in Mexico, particularly as it relates
to securing the U.S.-Mexico border. The two countries have stepped up
cooperation on that front over the summer, with asylum seekers being
returned to Mexico to await hearings, while Mexico has also increased
its troop presence on both its northern and southern borders. CLICK HERE FOR THE FOX NEWS APP Early
reports indicated the tragedy could have been a case of mistaken
identity, but recent history also raises the possibility the LeBaron
family was the intended target: only a decade ago, two members of the
family opposed to local drug trafficking groups were kidnapped and
murdered, according to the New York Times. Mexico's
federal Department of Security and Citizens' Protection said security
forces were reinforced with National Guard, army and state police troops
in the area following "the reports about disappearance and aggression
against several people." The troops were searching for the missing
community members, believed to include 11 children or more. A
number of Republicans backed Trump's call for action in Mexico in
response to the massacre. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said that Mexico is
"dangerously close to being a failed state." "This is what happens
when Mexico’s politicians look the other way and let drug cartels bribe
their way to power. Enough. Mexico’s president hasn’t taken the threat
seriously and innocent American lives have been lost again. The Mexican
government must partner with U.S. intelligence and law enforcement
agencies to wage a full-scale offensive against these butchers,” he
said. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, whose own father was born in a
Mormon settlement in Mexico, also extended his condolences for the
victims and called for the U.S. to get involved.
Ann and I are heartbroken for the victims of the horrific attacks in Mexico. Our prayers are with their families who have suffered such an unspeakable tragedy. The U.S. must work with Mexican officials to hold accountable those responsible for this senseless violence.
