Crime is a social problem but the US government is especially bad at fixing crime that originates from other countries. See war on drugs, terrorism, call center scams etc. On the other hand, a good team of security experts is very good at preventing computer systems from getting hacked into.

The problem with drug cartels does not originate from other countries. It is domestic demand, paying in dollars. Those dollars overwhelm local economies and police forces abroad.
