00:00Our hope is that Mexico takes this job seriously.
00:12We don't want to have negative relationships with the Mexican government.
00:15We want the Mexican government to help itself, but also in the process to help the American
00:20people by taking these organizations seriously.
00:23It's going to destabilize the entire country of Mexico, the entire government, if they
00:28don't take it more seriously.
00:29We're hopeful that they will.
00:30And if they don't, then of course we'll figure out what to do from there.
00:34So look, I'm not going to make any announcements about any invasions of Mexico here today.
00:39The president has a megaphone, and of course he'll speak to these issues as he feels necessary.
00:44But what designating cartel organizations allows us to do is deploy the full resources
00:50of the United States military to engage in serious border enforcement.
00:54Of course, the president is going to make the determination about how we deploy those
00:58forces.
