“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Republican legislators presented an initiative that, if approved would force the US Department of Defense to establish a strategy to capture or kill the leaders of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Senator Tom Cotton of Arizona and the Representative Morgan Luttrell of Texas. Respectively presented in the Senate and House of Representatives the Jalisco Cartel Neutralization Act. Which requires that within a period of no more than 90 days, after approval of the act, and every 90 days thereafter.
Secretary of Defense provide a report to the appropriate committees of the Congress. On any progress with the aim to capture or kill the leadership of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Although the initiative was barely presented and has not even been subject to debate is a sample of the moods that prevail in congress. Our border is being exploited by the cartels. Since they run one of the most extensive human trafficking and drug operations in the world.
That puts in danger every corner of the United States assured the congressman Luttrell, a former Navy SEAL, in the initiative presentation text of just three pages. The Jalisco Cartel, the most dangerous criminal organization of Mexico. And the second most powerful drug cartel must be identified and dismantled to protect the people American. This legislation makes clear that the Jalisco cartel cannot remain emboldened in our border and that the United States military must be prepared to confront and eliminate the Cartel Jalisco.
In the event that it is determined that the best course of action is to use the armed forces of our great country, he added. This is the second measure that Luttrell presents in relation to cartels. Earlier this month he announced another bill to combat influence of cartels. The law to defend our borders from armed invaders would allow the United States Armed Forces to use deadly force against individuals who cross into the country armed. The United States is offering a reward of up to 10 million dollars for information leading to the capture or arrest of the current leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Oseguera aka El Mencho.
