Under the incoming Trump administration, a renewed focus on immigration and drug cartels is set to redefine how America addresses border security and public safety.

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged an aggressive strategy to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking, promising to revive key initiatives like the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall and the Remain in Mexico policy for asylum seekers.


Central to his plan is the potential designation of major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). This controversial move, championed by Trump’s allies, aims to empower federal agencies with the necessary resources to eliminate the threats posed by these violent groups that have wreaked havoc at the southern border for years.

“The drug cartels are waging war on America — and it’s now time for America to wage war on the cartels,” Trump declared recently. This sentiment captures a growing urgency among conservatives to confront this crisis with the seriousness it deserves.

Former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Tom Homan, recently appointed as Trump’s immigration czar, echoes this sentiment. He points out that drug cartels have caused more American deaths than all foreign terrorist organizations combined. Homan is advocating for the FTO designation, which would allow the U.S. to intercept financial flows and prohibit cartel members from entering the country.

Texas Representative Chip Roy has long championed this designation. He has introduced legislation to recognize some of the most notorious cartels, including the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels, as terrorist organizations.

While there are concerns from some quarters regarding the implications of such a designation, the consensus among Trump’s allies is clear: a decisive approach is needed. With Republicans holding control of both the White House and Congress, there is a unique opportunity to push forward with this aggressive agenda.

In a political landscape where crime and border security have emerged as top issues for voters, the Trump administration’s commitment to addressing these problems head-on is not just timely; it’s essential.

As the Trump administration prepares to take office, supporters are eager to see bold actions come to fruition, sending a strong message to drug traffickers that their reign over the southern border is coming to an end. The newly united Republican leadership is poised to deliver the tools and legislative support necessary for the executive branch to act decisively against these threats.

“We can’t blink. We need to move now,” Roy said, emphasizing the priority this issue should hold for lawmakers and the administration alike.

The return of Trump to the White House signals a shift toward a stronger stance on immigration and a recognition of the dangers presented by drug cartels—an approach long overdue for a nation beset by these challenges.
