One Possible Tool for Mexico Against the Cartels~A Firm Policy of Immediate Extradition to the U.S.

    The drug cartels laugh derisively when dealing with Mexican law enforcement.  They can be bought, intimidated or destroyed almost at will.  They do not respect or fear the Mexican military even with some fancy equipment supplied by the U.S.  Incarceration in a Mexican prison is not an insurmountable barrier either.  Bribes, insurrections, brute force can spring a cartel leader.  It's just a matter of time.
     One eventiality, one threat alone may wipe the smile off a cartel leaders face; spending the rest of his life in a U.S. prison.  Despite all their bluster, banners and braggadocio, the cartels DO respect and fear dealing with U.S. law enforcement, F.B.I., C.I.A. or the U.S. prison system.  No sure thing there.  If Mexico firmly, consistently let the cartel leaders know that upon capture they faced immediate extradition to the United States, it would be like a mother telling her child "just wait till daddy gets home".
     If Mexico employs such a policy, then the focus becomes gathering intelligence to link the cartels to their runners, lookouts, deliverers, dealers and sales force on U.S. soil.  Racketeering, money laundering and narcotics trafficking are the possible charges.  Once that evidence is gathered, plaster the cartel leaders faces all over the F.B.I.'s top ten lists.  Talking crazy here, but what's wrong with helping Mexico find the bastards, then turning them over to face extradition?
     What do you think?
