Looking at Mexican policy and actions, President Trump was right way back during the campaign: Mexico does use the United States as a bit of a dumping ground for their least desirable citizens.
Like everything he says, this claim was immediately misrepresented and castigated in the media. Sinister motives were ascribed.
But it can be proven through the briefest of Socratic methods: Why do Mexican leaders risk angering the United States and flaring relations to ensure that some of their residents can illegally cross into America?
Is it because these are the brightest and best Mexico has to offer? Is it because these are the generally educated class? Is it because these are the middle class? Is it because these are entrepreneurs? Is it because these are wealthy Mexicans? The obvious answer to all of these questions is, No.
There’s really only one reason why Mexican government leaders fight so hard for open borders on the north, while maintaining draconian security procedures along their own southern border: They want their least desirable citizens to leave to the north, while at the same time blocking their southern neighbors least desirable citizens from slipping into Mexico. (The exception is if the people from Mexico’s southern neighbors are shepherded all the way through to the United States, such as the caravan that has been traipsing its way northward.)
Yes, the terminology sounds harsh. But “least desirable” is not to say they are bad people (criminals excepted) but to say that the Mexican government sees them as being of little to no value to the state. Worse probably, they perceive them to be a burden, a drain and a potential cauldron of trouble. Large masses of uneducated, unskilled, poverty-stricken residents is a recipe for large-scale unrest. As a country with a long history of corruption and a lack of rights for its people, it is continually generating new generations of such masses. The steam is released from these boilers through the open border to the United States.
This is the not-so-secret explanation for why Mexican policy over multiple presidents has been to push full-out for open borders — with the United States.
Recall the rhetorical lengths Mexican presidents have gone to in order to keep some of their citizens flowing out.
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox publicly referred to it as Trump’s “f**king wall” and called it an insult to Mexicans. A few years earlier, during the open-border Obama administration, speaking to Mexicans in America during a speech to Congress, Fox said, “we are working hard for your rights” — in America, not in Mexico. Because in America is where Mexican leaders clearly want them to be.
“Good collaboration between governments is a safer way to protect the United States than any stupid wall,” former Mexican President Felipe Calderón said. “We won’t pay a single cent for that stupid wall. It’s pathetic. . . . Trump is completely demagogical.” To be clear, Calderón has no interest in protecting the United States. He cares about keeping the status quo of some Mexicans being allowed to escape to the U.S.
Now a lot of these Mexicans who are apparently not really wanted in their own country can thrive in America because, to put it bluntly, America is a far better nation for a full range of people to thrive. I can hear the uproar over that statement now. But the evidence demonstrating the point is clear just from the direction of legal and illegal immigration across the Mexican-American border. Millions flood north, legally and illegally. Almost no one immigrates south.
As to Trump getting it wrong, he did not. He said it inartfully when referring to “rapists” and so on (although obviously we do get some of those.) This was another instance where Trump’s instincts were better than the isolated intelligentsia’s talking points. And it shows again when this caravan marching north through Mexico and picking up people along the way was confronted with Trump’s statement that he will reinforce the southern border with the U.S. military until the wall is built and may dump the North American Free Trade Agreement that Mexico relies on so strongly.
“Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military,” Trump said during a news conference with Baltic leaders in Washington.
That finally got the attention of Mexican leadership. The caravan has stopped. Because real border security works and is necessary for national security in the short and long term.
We should be straightforward about this. Mexico is not interested in American national security. They have an entirely different agenda. It is what is good for Mexico. This is reasonable. It’s clear what the agenda is and it’s just as clear that this agenda is not in the best interests of the United States. Supposedly, that’s what an American president should be looking out for. From 2008 to 2016 we did not have that. Today, we do.
“You jest I’m sure, but imagine the black criminal population being dumped in Mexico?”
What an absolutely bitching idea!
“They already did. See “Vicente Fox” and “Jorge Ramos”.”
And let’s not leave out the smarmy “effing smile on their face Beaner Immigration Lawyers,” who come on Fox News every other night “in the name of fairness” and tell us just how “good” their people are for our country and how we can’t get along without them.
Time for the Minutemen to arm up and man the border again.
Supplement the National Guard.
I’m not kidding at all. If my neighbor throws his garbage over my fence, I’m going to return the favor.
“Money sent “home” to Mexico”
I wonder how much of this is drug money.
In fact, I wonder if the Mexican Government is having a nervous breakdown over border security due to drug cartels losing patience with these paid-off scumbags ... they have to be fearing the repercussions.
I also wonder how much of the US FedGov is bought off with drug money. Last I saw it was a $300B - $500B industry. No exaggeration. That is a LOT of untraceable cash.
I’m speculating of course ... maybe everything is squeaky clean. I might also be a billionaire banging Kate Upton on the side too ...
I agree it is a fact. I won’t say that these people are inferior, at least publicly. The Spanish and other Europeans who run Mexico do this with their actions.
“The elites in Mexico, the pure blooded Spanish, hate the natives, the indians, the mixed blood.”
I noticed that a lot of their TV shows feature insanely gorgeous, predominantly European looking women. The males are ‘mostly’ European (some have strong Latino features, but that’s in style).
Some of the biggest actresses I remember from those shows (Kate del Castillo, Blanca Soto) certainly didn’t look like a vast majority of Mexicans.
Many of the TV crime lords and their foot soldiers are clearly of Native American descent. That’s a bit bigoted.
The “good” TV politicians and law enforcement ... all European looking ... corrupt ones all looked native.
Only the USA suffers from “racismo” though ...
Election of President and 1300 other officials July 1.
Everything you hear from Mexico from now to July 1 must be seen in light of politicking. Everyone is posturing. Most races are multi candidate.... 6 candidates for President.
First past the post wins. President may win with 30%. Most others will win with less than 50%. Every first tier candidate is trying to peel off support from the 2d tier candidates.
This money is subsidized by businesses in the US that will then "hire" the worker (as an indentured servant) at one of their businesses, housed and fed in a dormitory type living quarter until it is payed back which is never. This is big money when compared to the $1-3K for a Mexican national.
Why do they admit that they’re country sucks so much that they want people to leave it?
“I would love to see someone wipe that shiteating grin off his face permanently.”
Which one? They are all alike. And then there are all the fat Mexican f*ck reporters and “immigration activists” who are equally smarmy. When I look at where we are today, I see a country that acts like a wounded elephant, unable to save itself from dying from the relentless attacks from internal and external jackals. It really is a testament to the decent American People who have been “funding” our country’s demise with their hard-earned tax dollars, and are seemingly unable to grasp how badly their country has been f*cked by the entire rest of the world. Trump is really our nation’s last chance to save itself, because the RATs are on steroids now about making the kill the next chance they get.
Who are they kidding?
I worked for a fortune 500 company in San Diego. We had many hispanics working as security, engineers, secretaries and managers. — Those were the ones that worked inside. One of them referred to themselves as ‘House Mexicans’.
It’s funny that these Mexicans looked nothing like their Mexican brothers and sisters who worked outside for Landscapers, construction day laborers or the vegetable/fruit fields.
In fact, look at the whole of Mexico’s ruling elite. Watch their TV shows. Look at their police, their government their news casters.
Nothing but Mexican’s of obvious European descent. Not very many black Mexicans in those positions. Yet look at majority of the crossing the border. Mexicans of mixed indigenous indian and colonial descents of one or two centuries ago.
Now, tell me all about White Privilege.
Total agreement.
Why do you suppose that is?

Tucker just talked about this very thing the other night...
Tucker vs. Jorge Ramos: Caravan of migrants debate (beginning around 1:08)
My first wifes Grandmother was from Mexico, and VERY PROUD of her Castillian heritage. She was quite dismissive of the “Mexican” heritage. Instead she had spent money on the family tree showing the lack of native influence. Of course to keep her place in proper society.
