'The only thing that can counteract bullets is more and bigger bullets,' GOP Senator Tom Cotton said.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton this week suggested that the U.S. might invade Mexico or take some form of unilateral action if their government continues to fail in curbing drug cartel violence after several Americans were killed in northern Mexico., including three women and six children, were massacred on Monday on a highway in Sonora, a Mexican border state. During the apparent ambush on a motorcade, three cars were shot at numerous times and another set on fire, according to local reports.
"Unfortunately, it's plain that the Mexican government can't handle this," Cotton said."President Lopez Obrador came into office almost a year ago saying that his strategy for dealing with the cartels was going to be more hugs, not bullets."
