“I think closing the border would be a temporary fix, then it would come back as a much worse problem later.”
Historical precedents show that closing off channels for illegal activities often leads to the emergence of new, more sophisticated methods. A great example is the Prohibition era in the U.S. When alcohol was banned, it didn't stop consumption—instead, it led to the rise of underground speakeasies and empowered organized crime syndicates. Similarly, closing the border might result in cartels finding alternative routes or methods for drug trafficking, potentially exacerbating the issue.
As you've suggested, addressing the root causes of the violence and instability that allow drug cartels to thrive seems to be a more sustainable solution. What do you think those root causes might be, and how could they be effectively addressed?
