Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. firearm manufacturers has sparked debate over the implications of the Biden administration's border policies. Larry Keane, writing on the issue, highlights how the "open border" policy is allegedly funding violent narco-terrorists in Mexico, contributing to a range of criminal activities. Keane also dismisses Mexican officials' claim that U.S. firearm manufacturers are complicit in arming cartels, calling it an "absurd allegation."

Criticism is also directed at Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for his handling of the narco-terrorism crisis. The Texas Public Policy Foundation accuses him of adopting a lenient approach towards cartels, describing his strategy as "hugs, not bullets." This leniency is juxtaposed with allegations of corruption, with claims that López Obrador has ties to drug cartels.

Furthermore, the article argues against blaming U.S. firearm manufacturers for illegal firearm trafficking into Mexico, emphasizing the stringent regulations governing the industry. Keane points out the rigorous checks and regulations that manufacturers adhere to, making it unlikely for them to engage in illegal activities.

The article also delves into the financial aspects of criminal activities, particularly human trafficking, which has become a lucrative business for Mexican drug cartels. Figures cited by Rep. Mark Green suggest that cartels earn substantial sums from these illicit operations, further fueling crime and violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.

In conclusion, the article questions the Biden administration's border policies and their impact on funding criminal activities, while criticizing Mexico's lawsuit against U.S. firearm manufacturers. The author suggests that a closer examination of corruption within the Mexican government and the repercussions of open border policies may be necessary if the case proceeds to discovery.
