Most Mexicans share Obrador’s view that they have a right to ignore our laws and borders.

Like most if not all Hispanic countries, Mexico has never developed a commitment to the rule of law, property rights, and respect for contracts— the minimum requirements outlined by DeSoto for the rise of a prosperous state.

The oligarchy lives in an affluent bell jar, hermetically sealed against the masses seething beneath them. It is plain to see that the government of Mexico could not care less about a single one of the wretches they heave up against our borders. To expect anything of them is folly, as the obtuse and corrupt Bush regime amply illustrated. Best to just build the frickin wall and stop the influx of unsocialized pollution.

Mexico hasn’t gotten over the loss of a war just like Hillary can’t get over losing the election

No, that’s not true. I’m actually surprised at how good Mexicans are - they show up for work, they do a good job and they would actually like to be part of this country.

The problem is the Mexican government, which is hand in glove with Mexican criminal organizations, mostly through their connections with Mexican civil service unions (think SEIU). Of course, the civil servants actually don’t provide any services: there is no potable water in most Mexican cities, crime is unpunished if you’re the right kind of criminal, and government jobs, including teaching, are sold to the highest bidder.

When it feels threatened, the teachers’ union goes out and burns tires and throws stones in Oaxaca, a southern state where Acapulco is located, a formerly nice place, and in fact the civil service unions are the big leaders in all the violence in Mexico and protect and are protected by the drug gangs, which smuggle drugs and people from Central America. Of course, Mexico won’t take accept the Central Americans as immigrants, and as for the drugs, they obviously just wave them on by.

More than 100 Mexican politicians (reformers) were killed last year by the drug gangs.

One thing we shouldn’t forget is that Mexico is technically, according to its constitution, a Socialist country. And therein lies the problem.

Trump should have our Mexican embassy hand deliver a preditor drone image of Obrador’s motorcade as a hint on how we plan on solving this issue.

A South American gentleman once told my dad that those who settled south of the Rio Grande came looking for gold. Those who settled north came looking for God. And they both found what they were seeking.

Obrador is the perfect President for Mexico now, with Trump in office.

Because what he wants....The Wall. Can only be obtained when Obrador is President.

Watch.

He’s a mental midget, and stuck on Reconquista now (because all his other stupid ideas didn’t stick on many other tries).

So, he’s going to make a lot of noise about Mexicans taking back their land. Trump’s gonna be like.....Nah, bro....The Wall. ‘Murica gonna see that, and agree.

Imma buy stocks in Kleenex. Tears for 8 years has got to generate some profit.

“Lately, he trumped that notion of entitlement by assuring fellow Mexicans that they have a “human right” to enter the United States as they please. “

Actually, he said all Mexicans and all peoples South of Mexico have that human right, meaning he’s going to help people come on through Mexico to the US.

Excellent article, would this ever appear on the RAT Underground? Been there a few times and made me nauseous. Does FR have moles that post articles such as this there and is it allowed, does it stay posted?

Nah, it’s not a bug man. I like Mexico.

In Mexico.

Obrador’s election is going to tell us, essentially....that the majority of Mexicans think they have a right to just come here. Whenever.

Then we get our The Wall.

Then we can talk about immigration numbers. SC decision says he can stop immigration completely from Mexico right now if he thinks it’s to the benefit of the US.

Oh.

We are so far on top I’m not sure what to do right now.

Getting kinda dizzy.

I think I liked Commies more when they built walls to keep their people in.
