You want to know what would help reservations? More resources. And I am not talking about flooding them with law enforcement. I am talking about directing massive influxes of cash towards clinics, schools, other infrastructure, and getting them set up as autonomous clean energy providers, etc.

Why are the cartels there? Abject poverty and neglect make fertile ground for exploitation.

It’s not about “borders!” and insofar as Biden is responsible it’s about failure in getting resources into the hands of people who have been criminally neglected for a fucking century+ not some bullshit about lawlessness and invasion.
