Mexico’s interior minister outlines plans to secure their southern border against illegals

Mexico just made it a lot harder for Democrats to denounce border security as a racist plot against Hispanics (as if “Hispanic” were a race). Exactly as President Trump has explained, if you don’t have a border, you don’t have a nation.

Patrick Goodenough of CNS reports:

 Mexico’s interior minister outlined plans to strengthen her own country’s porous southern border, where hundreds of illegal crossing points have been identified.

Speaking at a gathering of Mexican diplomats at the foreign ministry, Olga Sánchez Cordero said at least 10,000 migrants had entered Mexico from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala since last October, and that another U.S.-bound “caravan” from the south was expected to arrive in mid-January.

Sánchez Cordero said the government was determined to ensure that “legal and orderly” entry takes place.

As part of the new government’s migration policy, she said, anyone wanting to enter Mexico would have to provide information including reason for entry, biometric data, and an identity document.

“Those who refuse to provide identity or biometric data will not be able to enter Mexican territory.”

President Trump has the means and the will to grind this into the faces of Schumer, Pelosi, and all the other hypocrites.

Like the US, Mexico has a southern border with much poorer countries on the other side. That creates incentives for illegal immigration, which imposes costs on the host.

Now that it looks like the illegal aliens won’t just be passing through and they may be stuck with them, Mexico is getting serious about stopping them.

Mexico has always dealt with illegal immigration on its southern border in ways that would make the Mexican government (and its friends in the US government) scream bloody murder if the US did the same. So no, any additional Mexican efforts to secure its southern border will not stop the open borders lobby here in the US from calling those who wish to restrict the flow into the US from Mexico all sorts of names.

AMLO may be just as bad as all other Mexican Presidents in terms of expecting USA to feed and house illegals from Mexico.

But he means this. Mexicans are PISSED how Nieto let what Mexicans consider to be “lower classes” to swarm into the country.

Even the “lower class” Mexicans consider people from CA to be lower class.

AMLO is Mexico’s Trump — a populist whose message is “Mexico First.” His left turn seems to be curbed (except his expectations from the USA).

My wife is from Mexico and I have been there several times in the last few months.

It didn’t take long for the illegals to wear out their welcome in Mexico.

Yep. The potential "benefits" from robbing and raping them as they pass through has now been rendered moot by the probability of being stuck with them.

Good move by the Trump administration and good move by Mexico. I say we reward this behavior by giving a green card to every illegal Mexican valid for as long as they keep every "American" immigration advocate in a Mexican Hoosegow.

There is a scene in Netflix show “Narco’s Mexico” where Felix from the Mexico cartel flies to Columbia to discuss movement of their product(cocaine).
When he meets Pablo Escobar at his ranch, Pablo informs him that he hates Mexican’s and he might just decide to feed him to his pet Hippopotamus. At the end of the scene they have come to an agreement and Felix asks Pablo if he was really going to feed him to the Hippo. Pablo states something about the hippo probably would not have eaten him because “My hippo hates Mexican’s too”
