The cartels would get absolutely smashed doing anything in the open and just move further underground. The only difference is now they'd probably be more likely to use things like roadside bombs. Depending on how things go they could sanitize their image as freedom fighters instead of narcos. And probably a lot more drug use in the rank and file in the USA military.
