Even if the United States could pressure President Andrés Manuel López Obrador into tolerating U.S. military operations inside Mexico, it would spark intense animosity from much of the Mexican public, said Ted Galen Carpenter, a senior fellow for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute.
“It’s been tried and it has failed colossally,” McCormick said. “So the idea to sort of try it again to me sounds utterly irresponsible.” Crenshaw released a video message Wednesday evening addressed to López Obrador, in Spanish, pitching his military authorization proposal as a way for the United States and Mexico to battle the cartels together.
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he’s looking at the proposals to designate cartels as terrorist organizations and the military force authorization. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he wasn’t taking anything off the table when asked this week about treating the cartels like ISIS.
Cornyn said the talks also will cover how the two countries can work together to improve Mexico’s economy, which could help undermine the cartels.
