Why U.S. really needs ambassador to Mexico (CNN Triple Barf Alert)

(CNN)The data on Hurricane Patricia doesn't need much expert analysis to understand why this is such a big deal. Already packing sustained winds of 200 mph, this is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere. And it will be deadly. Indeed, the unfortunate reality is that the measure of success for areas on the western coast of Mexico -- which has instituted state of emergency orders -- will be the extent to which they can minimize fatalities.

With so much going on, you can imagine the U.S. ambassador to our southern neighbor will be kept extremely busy not just keeping abreast of developments, but also helping coordinate some sort of emergency response. Except, wait -- we don't actually have an ambassador to Mexico right now.

Depending on the outcome of the storm, and the remnants likely to hit parts of an already drenched Texas, a concerted United States effort will be necessary. That will likely mean Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency assets are likely to be involved, while elements of the military at Pacific Command will be standing by to assist.

Of course, Mexico is a sovereign nation, meaning the emergency response from the United States will be managed through the State Department to ensure the diplomatic delicacies of any emergency responder or troop deployments are handled with care. This is how it worked in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.

In foreign countries, we need to be respectful -- even in a disaster -- of the needs and priorities of the impacted country. That is why we have strong ambassadors in important countries. And that is why the U.S. Senate's failure to confirm an ambassador is so dangerous.

Talk about politicizing a natural disaster!

Sheesh!

In foreign countries, we need to be respectful

Yes, because Mexico and their invaders of our nation (with over 80% of them on welfare) are so "respectful" to us.

But if the senators are playing politics, Mother Nature certainly hasn't been playing nice. And although our embassy in Mexico is run by professional diplomats, the Mexican government will not have an ambassador with direct ties to Secretary of State John Kerry to help Mexico when it needs it the most.

I have news for the Harvard lunatic: even if we provide aid, the State Dept won't be administering squat. It would be the US military, with our C-5s, C-17s, C-130s providing airlift, and our troops providing that. The only thing the State Dept would be doing would be patting themselves on the back while appearing on CNN in expensive clothes.

Oh, and by the way CNN - Obama just vetoed the Defense Bill, so that our military has no way to pay its troops, purchase fuel, or do anything else. Obama wants more Trillions for giveaway programs and won't sign appropriations for Defense until he gets his way through another tantrum.

A large number of people being dislocated should Mexico fail to stabilize soon after the hurricane hits would clearly have a tremendous impact on our immigration efforts, and would impact border control efforts.

Thaaat's it. Threaten more illegal invasion from the Mexicans if you don't get your way. Like Obama is even trying to enforce the border as it is. If someone did a home invasion on her home, ate her food, took her money, crapped on the floor, trashed her house, beat her up, assaulted her children, and ruined the neighborhood, would she like it? But we are supposed to be "respectful" of Mexico as a "sovereign nation" while we cannot practice sovereignty over our own borders.

More of her drivel:

And, of course, widespread disruption in Mexico will impact politics this side of the border. Politicians in the United States often view Mexico simply through the lens of illegal immigration. That is myopic.

Myopic? Illegal invasion by Mexico and Central America is ruining our economy, our wages, our neighborhoods, our schools, and filling our prisons. Crime rates among illegal invaders are off the charts. The invaders are entitled, ungrateful, and violent. They scam the taxpayers for over $30 Billion per year in false EITC tax "credits."

So where Mexico goes, so do we.

Finally something I agree with her on. Yes, we are going right down the Third World, Crime Infested Gangland Pagan Sewer thanks to leftists like her.

Ask our US Marine who was arrested by Mexico for having a US legal firearm in his car who took a wrong turn near San Diego and tried to turn his truck around at the border how "respectful" the Mexicans treated him.
