It's your POV that falls apart, speedy, because you mendaciously seek to avoid the inconvenient fact that there are large populations of people living in this country who are from the very countries you refuse to acknowledge for comparison, speedy. As the Mises article points out, speedy, you want to dismiss Mexico's statistics solely because they are inconvenient to your argument. The fact is, speedy, there are Mexicans on both sides of the border, and Mexican drug cartels are operating on both sides of the border, speedy, and you're an inveterate liar when you deny that and when you try to deny the impact those cartel operations have on the U.S. homicide rate.

Compared to the estimated number of people killed in Mexico by the cartels, it is a drop of water in the ocean. Unless you can prove otherwise.
And you want to dismiss the arguments made in the article by Katie Lynch-Kemon. Your main problem is that there is only one side to an issue. It's your way or the highway. I think the Mises article brought up some interesting points, but the points are not written in stone but rather the OPINION of one person, who happens to agree with you. Grow up and learn how to look at things from both sides.
