Scoop: Trump-aligned group declares “war on cartels”
According to this article on AXIOS, by Alayna TreeneStef W. Kight
“A conservative group run by former top Trump officials is proposing a formal U.S. declaration of war on Mexican cartels and a mechanism to shut down legal ports of entry based on estimates of undocumented crossings.
Why it matters: The controversial proposal — which would have major military, diplomatic and human rights implications — is being unveiled in a policy paper by the Center for Renewing America one month before the midterm elections, as Republicans seek to put President Biden on the spot and steer voters’ focus from abortion rights to immigration and crime.

The proposal, obtained by Axios, follows widely-publicized efforts by Republican governors and candidates to ship migrants to Democratic cities, send the national guard to the border and promise to declare an invasion in Arizona.

The southern border is a political vulnerability for President Biden and Democrats given the large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers crossing daily. Smuggling also has fueled the U.S.’s struggle with opioid addiction.”
