Ed Calderon has been squaring up with Mexico's ruthless drug cartels for the majority of his professional career, if not his entire life.

Calderon, who served as a paramilitary law enforcement officer in the Baja region of Mexico - home to major border cities like Tijuana - says many of his childhood friends "went to work for the cartels right off the bat."

And in a new Fox News Investigates podcast, "Alchemy of Violence: Narcos, Reapers, and Survival," he argues that these criminal syndicates should be treated by the U.S. government like the terrorist groups they truly are.

This has fallen on deaf ears in the Biden Administration!  If they declared the cartels terrorists, they would have to really beef up security on the border and they aren't willing to do that - no matter how many Americans will die.

Not going to happen with the communists in power.
