I dunno. If they stage this, this would only reinforce Trump’s argument for a strong southern border.
Bottom Line: With billions at stake, Mexico will turn that caravan around, before it gets within a thousand miles of our border.
They have to be responsible neighbors in controlling crime/immigration, to get a huge slice of the supply chain we are ripping out of China, under the new USMCA trade deal.
It is the development opportunity of a generation for Mexico, and AMLO’s (the Mexican President’s) best bet for a successful economy during his term. In fact, if AMLO doesn’t perform in good faith, President Trump has made clear that he will drive Mexico into an economic slump, with 5% tariff increases per month.
These are not Mexicans we are talking about in the caravan - they are Hondurans. Mexico will not appreciate them screwing up their deal of the century, and best hope for prosperity.
It’s clobbering time, when they try to cross into Mexico.
