Leftist Conservative López Obrador Elected President of Mexico

I have heard this guy may do a lot to end Mexico's drug war. If that is the case, more people will be happy to stay there.
Lots of socialists don't end up being socialists after they win. Roger Douglas in New Zealand was a great example.

I don't think AMLO is going to last through his term. He is way too deluded for his own safety's sake. The little people eat it up thinking he is one of them but it isn't going to work.

When the Peso crashes hard it is going to be a disaster of epic proportions. The elites in Mexico are already postioned to eject if needed. The middle class will be wrecked.

The cartels are so powerful in Mexico we have no frame of reference in the US to compare it to.
This. What happens to a shithole when it becomes complete and utter shit?
A humanitarian crisis at our border will make us look even worse than we already do, wall or no wall, if everyone is trying to escape a beheading or non stop rapes.
It should be repeated ad nauseum: WE. OWE. THEM. NOTHING. They created the shithole. It's up to them to dig themselves out.

I really wonder what would happen if the Drug Cartels overtly assumed power. How should the US deal with the Narcostate next door?
Close the border. Deport invaders. Stop all aid to Mexico. Shut down welfare and heavily tax US dollars legal immigrants send to Mexico. Slap tariffs on to Mexican exports. If the cartels want to get really nasty, respond with military force. But most of all, let Mexico deal with its personal affairs. It should be free to choose to remain third world with strong man rulers.
