No one can “clear them out”, even if the u.s. army came in and killed every last cartel member, the demand for drugs would still remain and a new cartel would pop up as soon as the u.s. leaves. It would basically be Afghanistan all over again, a bunch of people will die, trillions of dollars will be spent only to have it all go to waste as soon as we leave.
Violence can’t solve the underlying social issues causing these groups to form.

USA can’t even fix the drug trade domestically. Hint: we’re complicit.

You can only win the war on cartels, if you kill the demand for (illegal) drugs first. Then they will go away on their own.
You are just fighting symptoms otherwise.
I like your take kid, but unfortunately you need to web search “cartel avocados”, or “cartel limes”.
