Any prediction on what will happen when Trump is elected and he shuts down the border?
Stretches of the border will open up in warfare and we may need to deplot the US MArines to go after the cartels, pursuing them into Mexico just like they had to do in the Battle of Chapultepec on 12/13 September 1847, during the Mexican–American War, where a force of Marines stormed Chapultepec Castle.
We have been there before and in all likelihood Mexico needs a sharp kick in the arse to understand how they have strayed from peace established back in 1847.
When Trump shuts down the border, there will be a fight with the cartels, these cartels, not the Mexican government, now enforce the sovereigty of Mexico in a criminal way, and Mexico allows this criminal force to invade America, that in itself an act of war.Mexico will soon be in deep doodoo for allowing the cartels to exercise Mexico's foreign policy.
You are mixing two separate issues.
Regardless of the issue with Mexican relations, the States Right Issue is still there. In addition to Texas and the border there are other States Rights issues that become involved and need to be sorted out in a SCOTUS ruling.
Even the Mexican issue is actually bifurcated. There is the Mexican Government and there are the Cartels.
My desire is to send American drones with rockets to destroy Cartel compounds including everybody there. The war is thus confined to the Cartels and not Mexico in general. With cartels maimed or destroyed, relations with Mexico can take on a new path.
Maybe
