The potential incoming Trump administration is already sounding alarms on a threat they see as looming large over the nation—Mexican drug cartels. Dr. Sebastian Gorka, set to take on a key position in the administration, recently expressed that these cartels will face significant consequences once the Trump train rolls into the White House. Gorka’s remarks came during a lively discussion on Breitbart’s Fight Club platform, which, like the rest of the media landscape, is apparently a much safer space than the streets of many American cities thanks to these cartels.
During this illuminating conversation, Gorka emphasized that the new administration sees the cartels as squarely within the purview of national security. He cleverly sidestepped specifics, advising listeners to keep an eye on what the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz will unveil and the president’s own plans. The speculation seemed to stir excitement for those familiar with Trump’s unwavering intention to confront narco-terrorism. Previous moves included Trump’s strong endorsement of Congressional initiatives aimed at allowing military action against these criminal networks and a bold proposal to label them as terrorist organizations.
The former president’s strategy is a potentially game-changing compilation of initiatives. Imagine using naval blockades and Special Forces to tackle the cartels instead of making another TikTok dance video. Gorka’s discussion threw light on the intertwined nature of organized crime and terrorism, highlighting that smuggling operations aren’t just moving drugs; they could be facilitating broader threats to national security. With figures like the alleged incoming Border Czar Tom Homan and Colonel Waltz on the team, the message to drug cartels is clear: their days of unchecked operation might soon be over.
It's not the Mexican Gov that's going to be the problem with stopping illegal immigration and illicit drugs & sex trafficking.
It's going to be the MEXICAN CARTELS that stand to lose billions 💰💰💰💰 if Trump shuts the border down! 🤔
Go for it! 🤨https://t.co/uIpkHDfTlt

Gorka also took a moment to draw a staggering comparison that underlines the urgency of the crisis. He analyzed the death toll from U.S. military action since World War II, which rings in around 103,000, juxtaposing it with the shocking figure of over 110,000 overdose deaths attributed to fentanyl in just one year under Biden’s lax border policies. If that doesn’t paint a dire picture, one can only guess what will. The stark reality is that the Biden administration’s approach to border security may have inadvertently encouraged more fatalities than decades of military engagement.
In the name of responsible governance, Gorka insisted that Americans should be aware of the implications of the ongoing border crisis. His passionate plea for accountability is reminiscent of someone handing out pamphlets at a town hall meeting, perhaps minus the awkwardness. With the incoming Trump administration robustly prepared to deal with these existential threats, it’s clear that the fight against the Mexican cartels is poised to become a focal point of their agenda come January 20. The cartels, if Gorka’s predictions hold weight, are about to step into a new world of trouble—a world where they won’t find sanctuary or safety anymore.
