It began when a Central American migrant was interviewed on video, threatening to shoot Mexicans who are protesting against the caravan. It is unclear where this took place but most likely in Tijuana Mexico, near the POE with the United States.
He threatened to shoot Mexicans that interfered, saying, “If they want violence, that is what they will see. What are 30 a$$holes going to do against 30k migrants?” he asked.
He is heard about next in a video posted on social media after he is kidnapped and is being tortured
Might be a good time to set up a gofundme campaign to pay for buses starting in Tijuana and heading South. I bet a lot of them are ready to go.
Mexico has been violating our sovereignty for years. And they have bee very arrogant and pugnacious about it. I trust you can recall their cries of “Reconquista!’?’.
Mexican ‘’commerce’’ consists of taking $28 billion dollars a year out of this economy. Without that Mexico’s economy would collapse. Certainly in the last thirty years previous American presidents have been warned that stopping this transfer of capital and closing the border would result in a socioeconomic collapse in Mexico that would send a tsunami of Mexicans across the border. Short of invading Mexico, which would be equally catastrophic there is nothing we can do, short of simply annexing Mexico, which would still result in every Mexican pouring out of the place. Mexico is like the horrible relative you’re stuck with.
Well, a first for me today.
I walked down to the local pulpería this morning to buy some vegetables. On my way back I ran into a man, admittedly he was a bit tipsy, who started to yell at me about “Donald Trump killed a Honduran at the US border yesterday”. I explained to him that Donald Trump didn’t kill anyone, and if the guy was killed it was Mexicans, not Trump. I also explained that I’M NOT Donald Trump, and I have nothing to do with any of that crap at the border.
Incidents like this do not frighten me much, mainly because I think the guy was drunk and just shooting off his mouth. It bothers me a little, however, because I can foresee this attitude spreading among the people here, especially in the cities. I hope this situation is resolved one way or another soon. I have never felt in personal danger anywhere in Honduras, but if this situation goes seriously south I may not be walking alone around Comayaguela for a while.
I’m not sure if I believe this story because it is never clear where this Honduran guy was interviewed. Was it on youtube? TV? And the cartels saw it and said “let’s hunt this guy down?” They would air that on TV with the expletives? Just say I’m skeptical about it.
I heard about this story 3 days ago. If it is real, it should have been covered somewhere in the English-languaged press, even Breitbart or someone. It’s nowhere. It could be fake.
... Further more they feel they have first dibs on getting in here and more importantly they pull $28 billion dollars a year out of our economy and send it back in remittances. ...
Why is it; when in some local community, a business owner wants to build a factory to build widgets, etc. The business owner, the local politicians' exposes the virtues that the jobs will bring 3 (three) times the amount of money into said local community, by way of trickle down economics, i.e., said factory worker will now be able to hire say a landscaper, the landscaper will buy new equipment, the equipment seller will now be able {Fill in the Blank,} etc.
So if the above paragraph is a true {business} model, if you will, why or why not should the $28 billion dollars a year out of our economy not count as $84 billion dollars a year out of our economy.
I know that I'm the dumbest person in the room, but to me the math doesn't add up.
O.K. now chew me a new one, i.e., tell me how I've been out in the sun too long without a hat on.
The $28 billion is not being spent here in the US on any other good or service made or provided for here. It isn’t put back into our economy. It is taken out of it and sent out of the country. It’s a net loss for Americans. And this is after this rabble has been given free health care, free education , welfare, food stamps, etc.
“Spaniards are VERY contemptuous of Mexicans and Central and South Americans on so many levels.”
Not true for Argentinians espc in BA, their Castilian is as clear as those in Madrid.
In my experience with Spaniards they’re very contemptuous of ‘’Los Indios’’. Further more I was under the impression that the native language of Argentina was Portuguese, not Spanish.
Brazil speaks Portuguese, Argentina speaks Spanish.
1. El Salvador - 108
2. Honduras - 63
3. Venezuela - 57
9. Guatemala - 31
20. Mexico - 16
81. USA - 5
El Salvador has nearly 7 times the murder rate of Mexico and 21 times that of the US. They aren't excaping violence at home, they are bringing it to us.
they are being innundated by nicaraguans seeking asylum in cr right now.
spain had a larger impact on cr than other countries because cr had a smaller population that survived and intermarried...
Thanks much and Merry Christmas!
We shall see.....
All you are saying is that Costa Rica is mostly pure Spanish and not so many Indios and mixed bloods aka mestizos....like Mexico and Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador....Nicaragua too.
no i am, saying they have a different culture...
What I'm asking is simply instead of saying "$28 billion...."
How come the amount (what ever that amount is) is not in some way shown in a quantitative measure of a loss to the United States.
My example would be something similar to: The $28 billion being sent to (fill in the blank) is a loss potential of $84 billion, or, The $28 billion being sent to (fill in the blank) does create a net effect of a $84 billion loss to the United States economy, bla-bla-bla.
