With the election and inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum to the presidency, Mexico is rapidly descending into a dictatorship.
Here's the marquee case:
#Mexico's entering a #constitutionalcrisis. Pres @Claudiashein said she'll willfully fall in contempt of court after a federal judge orders congressional approval of the dismantling of the #judicialbranch halted due to legislative procedural violations-so much for the #RuleOfLaw. — Tony Payan (@PayanTony) October 19, 2024
Sheinbaum plans to ignore the courts and do what she wants, which doesn't portend much future for rule of law there. The MORENA party of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Sheinbaum seems to have ambitions of becoming what its less-leftist rival party, the PRI, became -- what Mario Vargas Llosa once called "the perfect dictatorship." The PRI, after all, did last about 70 years of one-party rule, roughly the same as the old Soviet Union. But nobody called it a dictatorship, or noticed the Mexicans fleeing its brand of socialism as they came north in the last half of the 20th century, not the way they noticed refugees from communism. But it was roughly the same dynamic, with the PRI only a little less horrible than Fidel Castro's Cuba or Erich Honecker's East Germany.
How much worse it could get when the one-party in question is not the crony-corruption oriented PRI, which ran itself like a blue-city machine focused on spoils for loyalists, to a far-left party focused on fundamental transformation, which is what MORENA is. Hugo Chavez, anyone?
While we may dismiss this as their own stupid decisions at the voting booth, one thing we can't dismiss is how they're turning their country into a base for all of America's worst adversaries.
They've allowed Mexico City to become a prime spy base for the Russians,

[EXCERPT]
An unfriendly foreign policy towards the U.S. in on the rise. President Sheinbaum delivered a diplomatic blow to the U.S. Ambassador in Mexico, Ken Salazar, saying that she will not communicate or meet with any governmental secretary without first consulting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is how Mexico treats its main commercial partner and the recipient of 83 percent of its exports.
Sheinbaum has also snubbed President Biden. He announced plans for a meeting with her, but she surprisingly said no. “I don’t have plans to meet with him soon,” said Sheinbaum. She also noted that Mexico wants to be “very respectful” of the U.S. electoral process.
Sheinbaum published on X that she spoke by telephone with her U.S. counterpart, stating that they will continue to work on economic, cultural and trade matters. She omitted security and migration issues, even though these are fundamental areas for the U.S. The silence on these matters says a lot.
She likes the economics and trade. She has no plans to help out on cartel activity or migrant surges.
Nothing new under the sun.
They are still pissed about that San Jacinto thingy............
I’ve always considered those low-lifes below the border an enemy of America since they opened the way for the invaders to infiltrate America. Kind of like Laos allowing the Viet Cong to flank the U.S. forces by allowing the commie pigs to operate freely throughout their country.
They are run by cartels and their influence. They have long had the opinion that western US is theirs and belongs to back with Mexico. The "invasion" is intentional
They are still pissed about that San Jacinto thingy...
Many don’t realize that as you go north from Mexico City, the geography just keeps getting crappier. . So Mexicans stayed home in a place where the weather and growing season is perfect year-round.
Americans, not used to such a thing were eagerly willing to settle in places Mexico considered wastelands. So after 20 years of ownership, they lost the northern half of their territory. As Porfirio Diaz put it, “Poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to the United States.”
No Mexican politician wants to be seen as cozying up to the U.S. As for not wanting to meet with Biden, who can blame her?
It is called the “Reconquista.” It’s progressing very well.
...or noticed the Mexicans fleeing its brand of socialism...
The purpose of socialism is communism.
We have an enemy on the southern border.
“ They’ve sucked up to China, Russia and Iran, as well as all the crummy failed socialist hellholes in the region”
So they’re Democrats.
They’ve been the enemy ever since they facilitated the illegal alien caravans crossing their country to invade ours.
It's a narco terrorist state with 95% corrupt politicians, and really can't get much worse.
Mexico elected a Jewish female socialist with a Berkeley education, and is amazed that she shows signs of being an authoritarian.
Ignoring the law? Hummmm, that sounds familiar to me...
“Mexico is getting a little enemy-like these days”
Is that because they know the Biden administration is like a passel of inept losers that don’t have the slightest idea of how to govern?
Should have finished them off in 1848 while there was time for real reform. By now they would not have been such a problem and we would have had fruit pickers without all the guff.
She shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with AlGore.
As Enviornmental Minister under Obrador she kept quiet as he focused on oil and killed green projects. Expect that to change,
They not only opened their southern border, they then provided the escalator that brought the invaders north to our southern border. Railroads, buses probably food and clean clothes as well.
Mexico an enemy? It should come as no surprise; they have had communist administrations for the past several cycles.
If so, they have tens of thousands of covert operators already in our country. We are thoroughly infiltrated and dangerously compromised.
It is part of the soft-coup chaos essential for the Obama-Biden-Harris party's agenda.
