I think more than nearly any other political issue this has the potential to cause the most significant problems in America. The Cartels will fight back, not just directly but also through indirect methods. We are getting ready to go into winter, much of our food during this time of year comes through Mexico. I suspect that the Cartels will actually do what the administration has threatened and shut down the border. The Cartels have the power to stop international commerce. This will be absolutely devastating to our struggling economy. The shortages when combined with all the other real and perceived issues will lead to civil unrest. I would also fully expect that the Cartels will disrupt manufacturing and distribution of products destined for the US within Mexico. Damage and destruction of manufacturing capacity will require significant resources and time to be restored. Fruits, vegetables and other perishable items will become very scarce. We will see empty shelves and food shortages almost immediately. I also fully expect that immigrant workers will stop working in the US. The Cartels will threaten their family members in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Our best case scenario is that we create a power vacuum amongst the Cartels. The remaining ones will fight amongst each other to gain that power. This would have the effect of significant increase of violence in Mexico. If only a few are attacked we may avoid the worst of this.

If you do not have 3 to 6 months of food yet, I would get it now, as in today not next week. Things will happen very fast once this powder keg is lit
