White House officials are considering using drones to target cartel leaders in Mexico according to an NBC report citing “anonymous sources.” The report suggests the White House is working in conjunction with Mexico to use U.S. supplied drones, expertise, and pilots to eliminate cartel leaders.
The action shows securing the border isn’t just about shutting down illegal immigrant flow (which is once again down to record lows), but also striking at the heart of destabilizing border power, the drug cartels.
