I mean, you might be right about Mexico! I don't know the details. The fact of the matter is that Mexico is the way it is, and that has effects on violence in the U.S.

You seem concerned with blame (normative statement), but I'm just making a descriptive statement (how it actually is right now).

As for foreign wars increasing violence domestically in the U.S., I don't buy that. Most of the murdering in the U.S. is some cultural thing to do with young black and brown men that we haven't figured out yet (because it's essentially impossible to talk about it, much less do research on it).
