Oh Mexico. You are not in a position to be playing this game right now. President Trump isn’t kidding when he says he will hold NAFTA over your head to make you play by the rules. For those of you who don’t know, another massive wave of Central American immigrants are passing through Mexico on their way to the U.S. It mirrors a Honduran surge that plagued Obama at the end of his presidency, and then, just like now, Mexico did nothing to stem the tide. They let the immigrants pass through multiple checkpoints and openly encouraged them to violate the sovereignty of the United States of America.
The major difference between then and now is who lives in the White House. Obama wanted open borders and did everything in his power to prevent law enforcement from doing their jobs successfully. Trump has unleashed ICE and Border Patrol, and both have proven more effective than ever before. Now, he’s backing those agencies through his diplomatic efforts. If Mexico thinks they can play games the way they did with Obama, they are sorely mistaken.
Chances are, this story isn’t upsetting you as much as it should. This video is full of unsavory details that show the extent of Mexican corruption, the size of this illegal immigration wave and why it is so unbelievably frustrating to try and be a law-abiding American citizen these days.
