House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has picked U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw to lead a task force on how to deal with Mexican drug cartels. Crenshaw alarmed the Mexican president and Democrats earlier this year when he proposed using military force to fight cartels.
“This common-sense policy would have paved the way for law enforcement to better seize their financial assets and strengthen criminal penalties on cartel operators,” Gonzales said in a statement.
“Immigration experts argue this designation could actually make our immigration crisis worse, by giving millions more migrants a credible fear claim to asylum because they can say they’re fleeing terrorists,” CrenshawMonday. “And we know that’s what the Biden Administration would do — justify these asylum claims.”
“We are not going to permit any foreign government to intervene in our territory, much less that a government’s armed forces intervene,” López Obrado said during a March news conference. “In addition to being irresponsible, it is an offense to the people of Mexico.” Using the military to fight cartels has been on Crenshaw’s mind for a while. And leading the task force will give him a platform he’s been gunning for since late last year.
