After reading all of the comments made in the original article and here on FR what strikes me as odd is why no one sees this situation as a deliberate act of bellicosity by the State of Mexico against the United States. No one has urged getting tough with the Mexican government or seeing this for what it is, namely a hostile economic and cultural invasion of the southern U.S. border and sovereignty by a country which is essentially an enemy of the U.S. In any other part of the world a government which allowed and encouraged its underclasses to break the border of another country and illegally obtain benefits from the defacto host country to the extent Mexico has done over the past thirty years would be faced with the real threat of military reprisals. We even have Mexican cartels controlling vast swatches of U.S. territory. Yet no one has placed blame for this where it truly belongs, at the feet of a hostile enabling government in Mexico. It’s like Congress is ignoring the two thousand pound elephant in the room. We have involved our military for years and years in imbecilic civil wars in dozens of countries which pose no threat to our existence and provide no benefit to us after we stupidly commit to them, at the expense of billions of dollars and thousands of U.S. soldier’s lives. Yet—yet— we cannot bring ourselves to defend our own overrun borders. Our elected federal officials took an oath to defend the borders and the Constitution. They are all in violation of that oath.
It is a very strange situation, aggravated (I think), by the financial and political interests of both parties in continuing the crises.
Agenda 21 - new world order - globalism
Treaties have already been signed. The USA must give up wealth so the poor countries can have more nd everyone will then be treated as a human has a right to.
All lies from the devil
It is time to take a page from President James K. Polk’s legacy and invade Mexico and send all the illegals back.
The only way out is for the border states to lock down their borders, cut off all access to or from mexico, kick all of the feds out of their states, and state clearly the federal government has refused to do its job as required by the constitution, and their services are no longer needed. But we know that will never happen, because the state governments are too beholden to the powers to be in washington.
We gave up sovereignty of the southern US border with the La Paz agreement, and the border has been administered by a joint commission in Mexico City for about twenty years:

They are not from Mexico and therefore different laws apply.
