Under growing pressure from the U.S. government, Mexico

President Trump found the right lever to mover the Mexican Administration, and they seem to have given the Military carte blanche to do what it takes.
From the article:
"International organizations that deal with the Mexican government on immigration issues suddenly found the authority that had resided in the interior ministry was being consolidated in Ebrard’s foreign ministry.
The power shift has also vested more power in the military, which has provided most of the command structure and personnel of the new National Guard, even though that force is technically under civilian command.
The military’s profile has grown within Mexico’s immigration agency as well, with eight generals or vice admirals — three of them retired — named as the top immigration officials in key states such as Quintana Roo, Veracruz, Jalisco and Coahuila.
The new order in Mexico’s immigration enforcement was laid bare when an audio recording of the top immigration official in the southern border state of Chiapas was leaked in July. Carmen Yadira de los Santos can be heard saying during a meeting with her team that nothing happens without the military’s approval.
“If it doesn’t have the first and last name of the general in charge of the area, nobody moves,” she said. “This changed and we are under the instructions and supervision of the National Guard.” She added: “Nobody — not even I — can make unilateral decisions.”...
For some the turning point was Mexico’s acceptance of the “Remain in Mexico” policy under which the U.S. has sent more than 40,000 migrants back to Mexico to await the processing of their asylum applications. Ebrard has said the program allowed Mexico to avoid signing a “safe third country” agreement with the U.S., which would have made those migrants seek asylum in Mexico rather than the U.S.
But with the U.S. Supreme Court’s order Wednesday allowing the Trump administration to block any migrants other than Mexicans and Canadians from applying for asylum at the U.S. border, Mexico faces the same result that a safe third country agreement would have created."
Yep, More winning!
Violence and poverty have to be fought at the source.
Prosecute and lock up the violent.
Poverty can be fought with sawmills, nail guns, brick and block factories, stone dressers, wallboard applicators, etc.
And guards for gated communities in Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, etc.
Things like drumhead court marshals, followed by some expedited shootings? MS-13 gangs do not have good responses to artillery barrages and air strikes, followed by armor. Civil wars don't have ROEs.
It somehow sounds like Pancho Villa rides again...
Is Mexico paying for this? If so, there goes another DNC talking point.
Make a deal. Allow every resident of Guatemala or Honduras free residency to some unused state like Connecticut or North Dakota in exchange
If the Illegal-Immigration-Industry activists are ticked off, then things are moving in the right direction
The Wall is Step #2
Soros & the Globalists wanted a war, they got one
Sounds like Mexico is indirectly paying for our new border wall with these actions:
Under U.S. pressure Mexico shifts immigration policy

Under growing pressure from the U.S. government, Mexico’s immigration policy has moved from one promising to help migrants to another characterized by militarized enforcement that has support of the country’s foreign secretary...
“In these 90 days, Mexico has become President Trump’s border wall,” the letter (from migration activists) added...
Following a threat by President Donald Trump to implement crippling tariffs on all Mexican imports in late May, Mexico stepped up measures to contain and dissuade migrants who say they are fleeing violence and poverty.
Thousands of members of a newly created National Guard have been deployed to run highway checkpoints on migrant routes. Bus companies have been warned not to sell tickets to passengers without documents. The head of the country’s immigration agency, a sociologist and academic who studied immigration, was replaced by the head of the federal prison system. More than 40,000 migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. have been sent back to Mexico to wait out the process...
State offices of Mexico’s immigration agency were given quotas for the number of migrant detentions they needed to make, said two people with knowledge of the situation...
One of those people added that immigration officials were asked to do “practices outside the law,” such as accompanying local police entering houses without a judge’s order to “rescue” migrants who were then deported rather than given refuge as witnesses or victims of a crime...

Best election, best POTUS, evah!!

You should learn more about North Dakota. It is an economic powerhouse. The oil business is huge.
“It somehow sounds like Pancho Villa rides again...”
Either that or the legacy of Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón (Santa Anna) remains firmly in place.
Don’t the cartels pretty much run everything down there? If Mexico is now helping us with central American illegals, it’s only because they are worried about us crimping their drug trade.
You know, it’s nice that the Spaniards try to accommodate everyone in their family downline with the naming convention.
But it gets absurd real fast.
Is Mexico paying for the “WALL” ?
All of this action by Mexico to aid us has its root in just one area,trade.
The reason Mexico folded so quickly when Trump threatened tariffs is because Mexico violated one of the cardinal rules of business and that is, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. We currently buy 80% of all items Mexico exports and any tariffs would have a huge and immediate impact on Mexico as American importers would quickly find other sources for the goods we import from Mexico which are mainly agricultural.
“In these 90 days, Mexico has become President Trump’s border wall,”
Wait! Whut! I though Mexico would never pay for it.
Is Mexico paying for this?
Yes, they are paying for putting about 20,000 National Guard troops into operation, plus the logistics.
They are really producing results.
Here is the chart the Mexican rep used to brief the US Administration this last week (Tues, 10 Sep). "OTMs" are Other Than Mexicans. Section 235 (B) (2) (c), refers to those under the "Wait in Mexico" policy, who are given court hearing dates, and then sent back to Mexico to wait for them.

Fox News reports: “Mexico has made nearly 134,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants in its own country since agreeing to work with the United States, and this has helped reduce stress on our own border facilities.”
Santa Anna's title was "Hero [benemérito] of the nation, General of Division, Grand Master of the National and Distinguished Order of Guadalupe, Grand Cross of the Royal and Distinguished Spanish Order of Carlos III, and President of the Mexican Republic, then, too.
Sorta sounds like a title Obama would covet.
