(Zero Hedge)—Mexico is furious and demands an investigation into how belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers, and grenades are ending up in the hands of cartel members, the country’s top diplomat said.
“The (Mexican) Defense Department has warned the United States about weapons entering Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the US army,” Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said, who was quoted by AP News.
Bárcena said, “It is very urgent that an investigation into this be carried out.”
In June, the Mexican Army announced it had seized a dozen rocket launchers, 56 grenade launchers, and 221 fully automatic machine guns since 2018.

The influx of military-grade US weaponry entering Mexico comes as the Biden administration fails to secure the southern border as millions of illegals flood into the US. But what’s rarely discussed, in what seems like an Obama-era Operation Fast and Furious scandal, are weapons flooding Mexico from the US.
Last week, at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agent from a field office in southern Texas revealed to us that the agency is very concerned about a flood of 50 cal rifles and belt-fed machine guns that are illegally entering Mexico from the US.
The cross-border firearms trafficking of military-grade US weaponry on the southern border is very concerning. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill should investigate this worrisome development to ensure the Biden administration does not repeat the Obama-era Fast and Furious program.
F-Off-Mexico !
As long as The Big Guy gets his 10% ….
It’s Legal according to the Democrats and The Biden Administration !

We should demand answers from Mexico why half of their country is illegally in the United States.
United States responsible for Mexicans armed with RPG-7’s?
WOW… Never knew the USA obtained PERMISSION from the “Soviet Union” to make those…..
If the ATF is behind this then they need to be disbanded. It should have happened last time and if I remember correctly no one was fired after their last episode.
FJB and the horse he rode in on.
The illegals are paying the cartels in stolen weapons. Manpower is so low warehouses are not properly guarded.
Omobba is the greatest mob maker in the modern world. This is his egg he hatched. It is part of his “transformation”.
The transformation cannot happen as long as there is a 2A. Period.
The problem is, if the pictures on this article are legit then any weapon expert will tell you that about 90% of them are Russian or Chinese made….Let’s cut the BS..!!
