The Threat from Mexico

Uncontrolled Narcotics and Immigration

• 💥 O'Reilly warns that a Trump administration would likely impose severe economic pressure on Mexico if it doesn't cooperate on border security and drug interdiction.
• 🤝 O'Reilly believes that with U.S. cooperation, the Mexican cartels could be eradicated, similar to ISIS, and that the Trump administration would pursue this aggressively.
