Oh yeah totally, plus we have come at a very happening and tense time. We landed and heard Chapo's son had been arrested in a HUGE gun battle that killed 30. And Biden and Trudeau are here.
In fact the general opinion here is that he was arrested with the summit in mind. /1

Ovidio had been arrested years ago, and Sinaloa cartel responded by unleashing violence. Lopez-Obrador released him in 2019 to ostensibly reduce the violence. And it worked.
So this operation annoyed many common folks cos it seems designed to tout it to Biden. /2

Mexicans have a VERY different (and in my opinion correct) take on the drug war and the so called border problem than Americans.
They think the real problem isn't drugs going north but guns & dollars coming south. America has a huge appetite for drugs that are taken voluntarily.

Not just "overrated". Downright dangerous and we are still paying the price. So many of the problems in US & all over the world today can be traced back to Reagan. Even the Aryan Khan case!
He was in the right place at the right time, gets random credit for USSR collapse.

The most evil and destructive legacy of Reagan is criminalizing the possession of drugs, often with mandatory minimum sentencing disproportionately targeting minorities. And then going around the world forcing countries, including India, to criminalize drug possession too.
Most of us have grown up in a world fed on Reagan initiated alarmism about drugs. So we take it as a default that yes, if you have marijuana or cocaine or ecstasy or whatever in your possession, cops can arrest you.
Ever stopped and wondered... Why? Why is possession a "crime"?
