USA Partisan: Congressman calls Mexico a "drug cartel"

Tom Tancredo, a Republican congressman and presidential candidate, said Wednesday that the United States cannot trust the Mexican government in combating narcotics and called the neighbouring country a 'drug cartel.'

'Mexico is a drug cartel,' Tancredo said. 'The degree of corruption inside the government and the military is so great that it's hard to see where the government ends and where the cartels begin.'
