The difference between the Mexican cartels and the country of Venezuela is that the Mexican cartels have a far greater ability to hit back at the United States.

For example, they could grab a random American family in Acapulco and murder them brutally just to send a message.
Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels.

"We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."
