Murdering buses of people doesn't bring the full force of the US military on them. The difference is the risk not the depravity.

This is the answer. The cartels would have to be insane to poke that particular bear. They would get crushed like a bug. IIRC they murdered a single US undercover officer in the 90s and the retaliation was so bad that they themselves handed over the perpetrators.

How did that full force of the US military work out in Vietnam?
