Good day all. This came out last week. It seems that Mexico is unhappy with Donald Trump and his plans to build a wall to block illegal immigration, deport illegals in the United States, and make Mexico pay for it.
Mexico is now actively working to defeat Trump and is encouraging Mexicans in the United States to become U.S. citizens. Here are some of the details from Politico:
Donald Trump has spent his entire presidential campaign warning against the dangers of Mexican immigrants stealing American jobs, raping women and hauling drugs across the border.
Now, Mexico is fighting back.
Mexican officials are pursuing a counteroffensive to Trump’s incendiary rhetoric, reaching out to U.S. business leaders, looking at ways to better use social media, and even encouraging qualified Mexicans to get U.S. citizenship.
So, they want Mexican citizens who have legally immigrated to the United States to become U.S. Citizens with the sole purposes of destroying American borders and sovereignty? Oh that’s a brilliant idea. And getting the “Business leaders” to help them defeat Trump? Have they paid any attention to the reason Trump is doing so well? It’s due to all the jobs either being shipped overseas or foreign workers being imported to take the jobs from Americans. (H1B Visas)
But they’re also trying to stay sensitive about taking more high-profile steps, such as running TV ads in an already overheated presidential race that promote Mexico as a friendly, vibrant neighbor and not a cesspool of criminals.
Pity it is a Cesspool of Criminals. Every week we see more stories of massive gun fights between the drug cartels, drug smugglers digging tunnels under the border, not to mention the corruption at every level of Mexican society. Then there is the 10’s of thousands of Mexicans crossing the border illegally, and the news that Mexico is allowing people from Cuba, the Middle East, Central and south America, etc. to go through Mexico and jump the border into the United States.
“We think that right now, in this phase where there is an electoral process going on, something that we should really do is stay out of it.”
Well that’s the first smart thing I’ve read in this article.
An advertising campaign at this particular moment could just add confusion,” José Paulo Carreño King, Mexico’s new undersecretary for North America, said in an interview with POLITICO.
Not to mention actually work against your goals. I’m assuming the ads would be in Spanish, which will further anger Americans. If you also put out political ads in English, that will also make a large number of Americans angry. They will see Mexico, which is a failed state, trying to interfere with the American elections, and also working to elect a felon to the office of President.
Carreño said the decision that Mexico needs to boost its image came after the country, which was being pummeled by Trump but trying to stay restrained, commissioned a series of polls and focus groups in the U.S. late last year.
And what did those focus groups come up with?
“What we found out is, again, that the image in general terms of Mexico was quite undervalued or more specifically out of date,” he said. “The image of the contributions of Mexicans and Mexican Americans was damaged and undervalued. And there was no clear image of the importance of the bilateral relationship. That’s when the Mexican government decided that, again, we need to do something.”
If the Mexican Government thinks that American’s perception is out of date, then they might want to watch the News. Thousands of Mexicans crossing the border illegally, out of control crime, and a large group that wants to take back the American southwest as part of Mexico. Good luck fixing that.
The Mexican embassy in Washington on Thursday issued a sharp statement announcing that Carlos Sada Solana had assumed his role as the country’s new ambassador to the United States and that his “clear and precise” mandate is to defend the interests of Mexico and Mexicans.
And what is this mandate?
In what appeared to be a swipe at the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, the statement went on to say that the new envoy “recognized the need to reposition the image of Mexico in the United States in its just and rightful place.”
Now that can be taken two ways. In Mexican eyes, it could be taken as Mexico being in charge of the United States, and the U.S. doing whatever the Mexican oligarchs and cartel leaders want. The other way? Well, that would involve American Marines in Mexico City…again. Somehow, I suspect that the Ambassador is thinking of the first choice.
While U.S. lawmakers from southern border states have been trying to reassure their Mexican counterparts (mindful of Mexico’s enormous importance to U.S. trade) officials on both sides of the boundary line feel they now need to take greater action to counter Trump.
The Mexican government might want to consider that those “U.S. Lawmakers” they are relying on may not be in office come next January.
The Trump-inspired focus on the U.S.-Mexico relationship has led to some uncomfortable moments for U.S. lawmakers from border areas who often deal with Mexican leaders. Some have tried to calm nervous questioners about the limits of what Trump could do if elected.
These are the open border Democrats and RINO’s such as Senator John McCain, UpChuck Schumer and Marco Rubio. Rubio is out of the Senate as of January and McCain is facing a strong challenge both in the Primary and the general election. Schumer? Well he’s pond scum and easily bought.
If Trump wins the election he will have a mandate to clean up the mess left by Obama and frankly, Bush. Sealing the borders to illegal crossings is a major part of that. As to Nafta and the other trade deals? All should and will be reviewed. Those that come up as not benefiting the United States should be junked and renegotiated.
“I say that the U.S. government is bigger than just one person, and there are a lot of folks, and Congress is an equal branch of government,” said Rep. Will Hurd, a Republican whose Texas district runs some 800 miles along the border.
Tell me Representative Hurd, have you bothered to tell that to Barack Obama? No? Then shut up! From what I’ve been reading, that border is essentially a war zone. What have you been doing to solve that problem? It’s time you and others like you remember that your loyalty is to the United States of American and the Constitution thereof.
Rep. Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat who represents the major Texas border town of El Paso, said one Mexican lawmaker told him that “what’s alarming is not necessarily what Donald Trump is saying. What’s alarming is that Donald Trump is saying this, and it is resonating with a significant number of Americans.”
There is a reason for this. The Republicans have basically sold out and no longer support American sovereignty and exceptionalism, and the Democrats never had it in the first place. Trump has his flaws, but selling out America isn’t one of them.
Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar said in his conversations with Mexican leaders it’s clear that they want to present a more up-to-date, positive image of their country to Americans. He’s suggested they can’t be too subtle about it.
“I just basically said nobody has the bully pulpit like Trump does,” the Democrat said, adding, “I told them to make sure that they work with members of Congress. If he becomes president, you gotta have friends.”
So Representative Cuellar, you are saying that you will put Mexico’s interests ahead of America’s? That’s nice to know. It will make it simpler for President Trump to prosecute you. Pity it won’t be for treason, since the Constitution you hold in utter contempt, is very specific on the subject:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §?330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
However, there are statutes on the books regarding the handling of Foreign policy matters and this statement makes it sound like you are quite willing to violate them. (The Logan Act) Allow me to spell it out for you.
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
I have a suspicion that President Trump, while perfectly willing to make deals that benefit the United States, and is quite willing to work with Congress, won’t be to happy with members running their own foreign policy. He isn’t, as all of you have remarked, repeatedly, “One of us.” He has no reason to bend over for any of you if you go against your oaths of office and the United States. Kowtowing to Mexico over the United States won’t win him over.
This election is unlike any we’ve had in, I don’t know, 100+ years. For to long the Progressives in both parties have sold out America and now people are saying ENOUGH! Donald Trump is the result. He will put America first, unlike you. Mexico will need to clean up it’s act, crush the drug cartels, and secure their side of the border. We’re all perfectly willing to help the Mexican government do that, but we will no longer allow you to violate our sovereignty and good will.
