I've been saying for years that they've been laying the groundwork to take military action in Mexico.

In fact, there was an AUMF that was proposed by one of the Republicans in Congress even a few years ago, reclassifying fentanyl, for example, like all of these different steps, designating some of the cartels as terrorists that would then justify the president, Donald Trump, basically declaring some kind of war or taking military action.
