Rising GOP support for the U.S. taking unilateral military action in Mexico against drug cartels is increasingly rattling people on both sides of the border who worry talk of an attack is getting normalized.

Wednesday’s Republican presidential primary debate featured high-stakes policy disagreements on a range of issues from abortion to the environment — but found near-unanimous consensus on the idea of using American military force to fight drug smuggling and migration.

    You are technically incorrect. Narcotics are the name for opiates and opiate containing drugs.

    It is the people that call all drugs narcotics who are doing so technically incorrectly. I’d prefer people use words correctly, but I refuse to be a prescriptivist.

      OK, maybe, in my language everything causing addiction is called narcotics. I mean, not maybe, you are right.
