The Editors of EIR issued this statement on March 7 in both English and Spanish. It is now circulating widely in the Mexican media.
On Jan. 12, 2023, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) introduced a resolution into the House of Representatives (H.J.RES.18) to “authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for trafficking fentanyl or a fentanyl-related substance into the United States.” Crenshaw’s resolution makes it clear he’s talking about unilateral cross-border U.S. military attacks within Mexico. The resolution has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The editors of Executive Intelligence Review, founded by the late American statesman Lyndon LaRouche, would like to suggest to Rep. Crenshaw—and others who have been quick to support his proposal—that if they are really serious about using U.S. military force to stop the international drug trade, and not just engaging in electoral posturing, they should authorize the U.S. Armed Forces to invade Wall Street, not Mexico.
