  1. I’m pretty sure that man who was interviewed is not just "American" (citizen/national)… He’s most likely a dual citizen/national of both Mexico 🇲🇽 and Estados Unidos de America 🇺🇸.

  2. They don't target Americans 😂😂 cartels know that's a one way ticket to have the us government directly on them, calm down y'all

  3. AMERICAN DANIEL MORALES 😁😁😁

  6. Hard when mexican gov is the cartel

  7. I pray that none of those Mexicans survive

  8. These are growing pains, America went through this during prohibition so don't be all hoity-toity

  9. If the president wanted he would put a end to all of it. But since even himself is evolve in the mafia he doesn't care u can defend him all u want every president chose his favorite cartel.

  10. They see Americans leaving to Mexico in Droves! This is an inside job, they do not want Americans to leave. Do not believe what you see on mainstream American news.

  11. They don't send their good people

  12. Tijuana has been a city under siege for a long time.

  13. Is Tijuana a tourist destination??????? Seriously?

  14. Have a good weekend people

  15. Soon and very soon this will become part of the USA because Biden has open the gate and the gangs are pouring in and Soon they will be fighting it out for territory in the USA.

  16. Good gawd, I can't imagine living there

  17. Many parts of Mexico are effectively lawless with the cartel more powerful than government
