Bomb Mexico

Sunday’s 60 Minutes interview with Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed Americans’ fears that Mexico is exploiting mass immigration and the world’s desire to take up residence in the U.S. — or commit crimes and then leave — to further its interests and those of the pinkest parts of the Americas.

 

Obrador’s list of essentials, before he’d consider lifting a finger to control migration, include: the United States’ committing $20 billion to Latin America (graft), lifting sanctions on Venezuela (enabling a leftist dictator), ending the Cuban embargo (propping up another leftist dictatorship), and legalizing Mexicans living in the U.S. Insane.

 

 

In case it wasn’t already obvious, this Mexican government is not a friend of the United States, and the Biden administration — after looking at some maps — should consider directing the U.S. Army and the Air Force to level Mexico and install Ted Cruz as governor of our newest state.

 

In all seriousness, the United States could use Mexico as a preferable manufacturing-base alternative to China. To do so, we need to deal with that country’s current two-bit cartel president from time to time. What we needn’t do is let him think his opinion on anything else matters. The border is ours. It’s the president’s duty to maintain territorial sovereignty. If Biden can’t do the job, he should look for another one, and it’s a shame that Congress won’t hold him responsible before November.
