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.
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
Big Country (Texas) ^ | 14 Sep 2019 | MARÍA VERZA, Associated Press

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!!
“In these 90 days, Mexico has become President Trump’s border wall,”
Wait! Whut! I though Mexico would never pay for it.
It’s about damn time an American President stood up for the citizens of the USA.
Mexico has been dumping their unwanted, both Mexican and pass throughs from the south, on the US from 30 years without consequence.
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama did nothing.
In the hundreds of postings here in Free Republic rarely is this brought up. It’s Known As Reciprocity. We should be treating anybody illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US the way the Mexican’s do Any American illegally .crossing into Mexico. No” free” lawyer paid by Mexican taxpayers. Entry denied heavy fine and possible imprisonment. before getting kicked out.
When allowing the hordes illegally entering the US through the Mexican border avoids recognizing and dealing with the 2nd class treatment that American citizens get which is in their constitition while legally residing in Mexico.That not just includes denial of voting privileges but employment, and land ownership in their name.
Worse yet All when given to illegals and property ownership by them is used in states which Mexico has previously claimed espcially Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and of course California .that could be used to support any reclaiming effort should regime changes in Mexico arise , Our border with Mexico has always been contentious not only with smugglers but on ocassion with Mexican bandits and military.,Allowing potential hostiles to the US property ownership to happen in those states could lead to serious problems in the future.
.It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements.
What never gets mentioned is that 2nd class treatment Americans get in Mexico in all of this. If we applied that reciprocal policy . Would that continue ? By.prohibiting and strictly enforcing existing laws prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced these problems would drop loke a rock. .In other words Once we remove the incentives to Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning this stuff would stop.
