Immigration, Narcos, and Fentanyl: What's Happening in Mexico? 

yeah guys don't use the shitty ai voice again.

Congratulation to the American arms companies. They have the best customers (Mexican cartels)

Now a video about the US cartels

In the seventies it was marijuana, in the eighties it was cocaine, in the nineties it was heroin, in early twenties it was crack and now it's fentanyl. Next decade it will be something else to worry about.

yeah sure, now in 2024 suddenly the usa realizes "Mexico needs democracy!"... we all know how that ends 😂🤕

Drugs are a never-ending problem for Mexico and US

Mexico needs a better Justice system, but what political party would promote and protect such a system?

jesus... the AI voice over sounds like GARBAGE

I will be censored by YT if I say what is really happening. Lets just say that everyone with any intelligence is moving away from these people.

Fentanyl is produced in Florida

Interesting perspective from an outsider, but most Mexicans don’t consider him a failure because they aren’t concerned with the drug epidemic or the migration crisis in the US to put it bluntly. Mexico has problems of their own aside from organized crime believe it or not, and you will be left alone anyway for the most part as long as you don’t get involved with the criminals in the first place, for the average citizen at least. AMLO has pretty much course shifted us away from an oligarch-run country who sells Mexico’s resources to their most generous benefactors and spend their tax money on luxury goods and private jets, to one were our resources are our own and contribute to the well being of the citizens. He also stands up for us on the political and commercial stage, like refusing the US’ deal to sell us genetically modified pig feed as corn which is a big part of our diet, and pushing back against predatory companies that abuse the environment like Vulcan Materials. He has given us hope and an ideal of excellence to strive for

Well the elephant in the room here is the war on drugs itself. Moreover, where do the weapons come from? Not taking those things into account is just dishonest.

How about also stop doing drugs? No customers no profit no drugs no cartels

AMLO: Isn't that an explosive compound?

Never mentions the United States responsibilities. At no surprise.

To quote the new guy presenting the video... "The reality is often a little bit more complex"

You made ZERO mention of the US’s side of the problem - the endless amount of drug cash & illegal guns flowing into Mexico from the US. Mexico wouldn’t have violent criminal organizations if there weren’t a huge demand from American drug addicts & illegal American weapons flowing into Mexico due to the US’s non-existent gun laws to prohibit the purchase of guns by arms dealers. So what has the US done to solve that problem - nothing. In fact, buying guns in Texas has never been even easier. And since when has the US been dealing with drug addicts and apparently this is AMLO’s problem now? The US has had drug addict issues since before Escobar. Has AMLO’s national security been a failure, yes, big time. But is he to blame for the US’s problems? No. Not until the US starts to actually stop the flow of illegal guns & cash that fuel violence in Mexico. Funny how you guys always like to talk about illegal migration toward the US from the South, yet you never mention how the US screw Central American economies & politics during the Cold War - which is what has led to so much illegal migration in the first place.

actually a popsicle in the middle of the arctic would cool quite slowly because the temperature difference would not be that much, a red hot iron in the middle of the arctic would cool much faster..... c:

I hate those noisy trasitions in the video

Also many social programmes should be opened in America to help drug addicts, we must think of everyone, every single live matters, social reinsertion could be a reality but massive programmes must be created, there are more and more people suffering the consequences of addiction and that´s terrible.

This take is rather naive on a lot of points. The war on drugs has been a waste of resources. There are too much profits to be had to be stopped.

Close the border! Totally. People and commerce. This will hurt American businesses but they should have considered this risk.

It is not only Haitians and Central Americans, but also Cubans and Venezuelans who have a political, social and economic crisis that is happening there in those countries. But do not emigrate to Chile or the United States, Brazil, Canada, Peru and Mexico, those countries have many problems migrating to countries like Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Suriname, Costa Rica and Panama. Now there is a program so that migrants, when you show up at the border between the United States and Mexico, can apply or they can take you to go to Spain, Greece, Italy and Canada between those governments.With a big immigration problem in Mexico.

Love the new intro.

One of the lessons I take from this is that when you criminalize drugs, then criminals will be in charge of drugs.

The main thing is that the Cartels are buying US made weapons, Mexico has been asking the U.S. to regulate weapons from making it into the hands of Cartels because local authorities cannot go agains M16’s the fact that these drug problems are on both the U.S. and Mexico

The Cartel isn't just in Mexico but within the United States. they had .50 cal machine guns, why do they have .50 cal machine guns? where do the weapons come from? Something we do not discuss at all is the trafficking and distribution within the United States. who distributes all that drug in the USA?

Not sure I trust the popularity chart.....where is Bukele ?

Mexico last president was 2nd most popular and he failed his people. This world is fucked

The crucial thing you neglected to touch on, is that there have been several investigative reports from journalists who have uncovered evidence that AMLO has received campaign money from drug cartels in the past. That explains a lot about his actions.

Amlo: "Hug the fentanyl away."

Hello everyone, I'm Mexican I live in Mexico city anda yeah, sadly the things here are worse that you say. We have "cobro de piso" in almost every business in the city from the street sellers to big companies. It's a really complex topic. It's a nightmare if you're Mexican you have or will have to relate in some way with the narcotrafico.

No consumers means no business. You cannot talk about one thing without including the other. You can take out the current cartels, but others will take their place right away because of the high demand in the United States.

So the mighty USA never threaten any countries in the world ??? lol 😂

If you fight drug addiction, you fight narcs, an that is bad for weapons business.

If the drug addicts from the United States stopped, and they stopped sending drugs, Mexico would be much better.

This is where the real war on drugs should be happening. Not in our country

End of AMLO´s reign? No way, he will direct every move of Claudia.

0:44 Alain Berset left his post end of 2023, so much for the accuracy of that Q1/2024 data….

I am torn on the drug crisis. At the end of the day, someone as an individual decides to take the drug. If everyone starts to take responsibility over their own lives, the demand will drop. We can't keep blaming on supply.

Stop spewing lies!

Nice ai generated fear mongering, why am i subbed to this trash

Mexico would benefit greatly by cooperating with the u.s. government. The Mexican protectionism & persecution mentality has to end. LBV

Fentanil is not a Mexican problem

*Narcos & arms are the largest funding source for religious conversion & we shouldn't demonize these scared activities.*

VisualPolitik forgot to use sepia filter

Dnt be sorry man,call out incompetence

Wonderin where the cartels get a lot of their weapons 🤔

Dang he is popular even with all that corruption.

Re your last question: Amlo is awful but unfortunately it will only be Mexico that suffers from his ego, policies and handpicked predecessors. Given his popularity, I don’t think enough Mexicans have woken up yet. And those that have probably had their favored candidates killed off.

The only problem everyone has with amlo is how he was the reason why the dollar declined so much lmoa

Stop being drug users in the usa .

lol they started the drug war you dont live in the us you dont get to see the result of legalizing. weed used to be illegal people can just go to the store

Hoping that VisualPolitik does a video on the intersectionality of medical freedoms and human rights. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Who would win the best army in the world or a bunch of vietnamese rice farmers?

This guys is misinterpreting a lot of situations. What can be expected from an traditional american minded reporter?

sadly youtube is not a platform to talk about these topics.

The US: The Neighbour doesn't care about US problems. The US:

Viva México.

I wonder that visual economics didn't say that cartel is a monopolist. Monopolist is reducing the amount and highrocketing prices 😁 If cartel would be destroyed then competitive narco market will be flooded with cheap narcotics. On the other hand it's mostly problem of the US. It's much easier to find drug dealers who offer it than to find hidden factories or to check every traffic. So US can not prevent narco traffic as well 😁 and hardly could prevent it's production. It's producing in Mexico only because of cheap labor.

Imo, there are lots of ways to approach this problem but if you want a straight forward and no none sense solution, ypu invade 10 km deep into mexico and control that area as a buffer zone, and you tell mexico you can have it back when you destroy the cartels. And you tell em we will invade 10 more km every year this problem continues. Your choice lol

🇺🇸

I do agree that he does resemble trump, but he has a point. America has over the past few decades has made this situation, the guns the people that needed a replacement from pharma drugs. The left ignoring the problem politicians using it as a political football ect.

Do not apologise for what you think about Mexico... For sure, we just have the government that we wanted to have, unfortunately.

We ought to stop using drugs in the US That would end all the cartel problems

not even america cares about americans, why should the mexican president do?

This bum knows nothing

Dangerous game, trying to destabilize your neighbor

I said on other channels that like to build a narrative on a country that the narrator who’s speaking, they don’t live of have ties in that country, they have no investments or business, so why would you speak on a country you do not know ! Let alone understand any?? That’s crazy , people do this … People RU-vid’REPORT on where you live at , on what you do know and you do understand.. make local reports .. Crazy tho people see what’s popin , what’s draws the attention Right )(well they want some of that shine , some of that spot light , they wanna be noticed or see by another man’s shine of Glory !!! Viva AMLO y viva MÉXICO 🇲🇽 !!!! As far as this sucka that made this video clip .. very poor creativity or zero creativity! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 If your gonna be in the youtube_entertainment business Then at least bring fresh content fresh ideas to ✌🏼

An absolute 1d10t the 4 legs mex presi

From an outsider's perspective and looking only at the stats, it may seem true that he didn't accomplish a lot. However, he is the first presidente who was capable of bringing hope and unity to the country which is already a big deal in a society with such a massive wealth inequality. AMLO stood his ground protecting mexican lithium and oil from the northern predators, he built strategic infraestructure and laid out a plan for a systemic transformation that will take more than one presidential term to come to fruition. He did a good job and that's why he is so popular!

Jesus wants to save you

They just want the lithium

The first chart you showed proves that you swallow and regurgitate any misinformation you are fed. You list Lula as the fifth most popular politician and yet over 50 percent of Brazilians detest him and his policies.

First...oh wait...?

Evil cannot be confronted with evil. By the guy that had one of the biggest spikes in evil while in power. 😂

s

😂😂 you, sir, do not know what you are talking about. Get off the internet.

This video is awful and not even just bcs of the AI voice

This is on bidens face

A President can’t be judged on how good is for another country

Please remove the new voices!!!!!

CLOSE THE BORDER NOW !!! Why is this not being done ?

So much bias and misinformation against AMLO in this video. If you looked to what this president has done and why the media always bashes him, you would know who really is behind. There is a reason why he is very popular among Mexicans.

🌧️💯🇧🇿

If you sugar coat the truth, then you are lying.

Zionist Trump vs Zionist Biden

Neoliberal propaganda mouth piece.

16:31 well said ! 🤝

Hola amigos

maybe they need some freedom if they dont know there place

This channel is a joke 😂 mexico is not to blame for the junkies in the US , like the US said for years when looking at mexicos problems we feel the same about the us now, We mexicanos dont care!

Post-Capitalism is worse in Mexico.

FIRST !

Love this channel

Now do a video on how Mexico will become the next China in manufacturing! LOL

I like how he ends the video asking if AMLOs candidate will win....well spoiler she did, weeks ago. So it looks like his awful policies will continue under a woman now. Mexico needs a president that fights the cartel at all costs. Sadly that will never happen the corruption is everywhere in the political, judicial and social systems.

The thing about hugs is 100% true but criminally misinterpreted and blatantly replicated by Visual Politik. It's the most crude form of reductionism. Let me elaborate: a lack of affection at the center of the household will inevitably sway youngsters to resort to alternative ways of comfort, aka drugs.

Oh yeah. Many in Mexico hate AMLO. everyone keeps saying how popular he is only with the cartels . Normal citizens hate that man.

If Mexico doesn't fix its problems, then we should fix it for them.
