There are ways you could compare our problems with the southern border to rome though. The biggest funder of the cartels is us and our government has historically used them as right wing cudgels. And that same militarization of the drugs resulted in refugee crises we created with largely American weapons being used. The legitimacy of the kings of the frontier was totally a roman creation to help in their own backbiting politics.
