Mexico either refuses to or is utterly incapable of getting their drug cartel problem under control as they ravage innocent people.

She parroted Mexican talking points that blamed American gun rights for cartel violence, not Mexico’s refusal to crackdown and their rampant corruption. She even suggested that Mexico’s actions against the U.S. could “fix” the “problems” with America’s gun rights:
Mexico says those American guns are responsible for much of the cartel violence that`s plagued its country. And now, it`s taking an unusual approach to try and stop it -- it`s suing.

It believes damning that "iron river" might also fix some of the problems that plague the U.S.
The video portion of the segment opened with comments from anti-gun rights lawyer Jonathan Lowy suggesting that Americans should care just as much about Mexico’s crime rates as they do about fentanyl overdoses and illegal immigration into the U.S. Alfonsi touts that Lowy had teamed up with Mexico against America.
