build a fence, enforce the law, stop giving asylum to illegals. get rid of the anchor baby laws.

That's just ignorant. Because that's a completely different problem from the one stated in the OP. Building a better fence wouldn't stop the cartels, giving asylum to the illegals won't do anything either. Enforcing the law, yes. 

The U.S. needs to consume less drugs, Mexico needs no consume less weapons.

The US doesn't need to consume fewer drugs, it just needs to source the drugs from a different source. The drug cartels couldn't compete with legitamite business.
