Lable Mexican Cartels as Terrorist Organizations?

The Dallas Morning News heaps praise on U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul's (R-TX) call to label Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations. "It’s time to take the gloves off and stop treating these cartels as Mexican versions of the neighbourhood pusher. These gangs have murdered 35,000 people since 2006 — more than 10 times the number killed in the 9/11 attacks. That’s terrorism," the paper's editorial page declares. "By labeling cartel members as the terrorists they are, American law enforcers gain significant extra powers, and penalties are boosted for anyone who directly aids and abets the criminals. Money launderers and gun smugglers, for example, could face life terms in prison and fines of up to $50,000 per violation."
