Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Monday he is prepared to introduce legislation to pave the way for the president to potentially use military force in Mexico to combat drug cartels. …

“This administration has done nothing about it,” he said. “I’m going to introduce legislation, Jesse, to make certain Mexican drug cartels foreign terrorist organizations under U.S. law and set the stage to use military force if necessary to protect America from being poisoned by things coming out of Mexico.”

He concluded, “I would tell [the] Mexican government, ‘If you don’t clean up your act, we’re gonna clean it up for you.’”
