Providing all the athletes make their way out of Russia (ie: LGBTQ) the USA MUST end the southern border so called problem.

The United States of America needs to end the drug cartel presence in Mexico. If there are going to be international games in Mexico and it is affiliated with the USA and Canada, there needs to be a concerted effort to end the drug cartels.

Mexico is currently a mess. Even the once tourism is being destroyed because of poverty, drugs and crime networks. Something has to be done and the US Congress needs to pay attention, otherwise, Miami is the next step for these crime networks and drug cartels.

To be clear, the crime networks in Mexico's most beautiful cities that once were tourist havens are not ONLY connected to the drug cartels. The drug cartels are a problem, BUT IN ADDITION, there are crime networks that have developed out of poverty now ravaging the tourist cities of Mexico.

Understand? Not all the crime networks in these cities are connected to drug cartels. There are two huge problems in Mexico, the drug cartels AND the criminal networks that grew out of poverty. BOTH have to be addressed before the World Cup shows up to carry out it's mission which goes on a long time. The World Cup is conducted far longer than Olympics. So, this is a huge commitment.

The US Congress needs to get real about Mexico and cleaning up the country and instilling an economy. Mexico's emigrants will stop as soon as there is a real economy that provides "blessed lives." 

GET FOR REAL, USA! No more human rights abuses in the USA and real partnerships with Mexico that changes the balance of power into the hands of the government. Any form of government corruption has to end as well. No more killing students because they are in the way of a political campaign.

The “United” bid, that will see 60 of the tournament’s games held in the U.S., with Canada and Mexico getting 10 each, beat out the underdog campaign of Morocco to bring soccer’s biggest show back to American soil.

The U.S. previously hosted in 1994 and the potential for a highly lucrative tournament, plus the existing stadiums and infrastructure, likely played a major role in swaying voters.

With the breakdown of voting results made public, the United bid claimed 134 votes, with 64 giving their support to Morocco and one country voting for neither bid....
