AMLO will be Trump's foil
americanthinker.com ^ | 6/26/2018 | Frank Friday

AMLO is heavily favored to win election next Sunday. He may be a left-wing nut, but he is an honest one. He is promising to fight to open the U.S. border for everybody, no bones about it.

And he has pretty much made no secret of the fact that he's in the hip pocket of the drug cartels. He has a long history of friendship with the drug cartels and is making a drug amnesty provision the centerpiece of his campaign. Mexico is already on the verge of being overwhelmed by drug cartel violence, and AMLO seems ready to make it official. Cartels have murdered hundreds of politicians in the lead-up to the voting, most from the two establishment parties. The independent AMLO, however, is famous for traveling without armed bodyguards and refraining from taking security measures. Why should he? He's one of their own.

Our new rallying cry: Cabo or Sabot.

OK, I admit it’s not very good but I’m new at this rabble rousing stuff.

Meanwhile Chuckie Schumer wants us to trust government & turn in our guns.

If squads of armed citizens are deployed along the border, along with AR-15’s they’ll be carrying scoped hunting rifles that shoot flat to 500 yards. Good for desert work.

Yep, this Mexican Marxist is going to do for the Wall what Obama did for gun sales.

“Hell, one press conference asking for armed volunteers to secure the border and there’d probably be wave after wave of people on their way down there.”

I’ll do it for gas money, water, rats, and TP.

“Other major parties have been the more conservative National Action Party....” What would a “more conservative” party look like in Mexico. What do they want to conserve; and why?

You know how many Americans actually know that at one time the Stars and Stripes flew over Mexico City?

Very few.

Maybe Winfield Scott would be a better choice than Pershing??

The story of the day the Mexican’s surrendered is pretty surreal. 20,000 Mexicans surrendered to 8,000 US troops. The Mexicans lost EVERY BATTLE, from Palo Alto to Mexico City. Moving artillery was the downfall, apparently.

A Colonel was the provisional head of the Mexican government for about three months. Makes you shake your head in amazement.

EIGHTEEN mayoral candidates have been murdered across Mexico in the last few months. The cartels are only allowing pro-cartel candidates to live. Mexico WILL be an official narco-state starting next week.

The next Mexican-American War...........will end badly for them..................again...................This time we take Baja...................

Partner, I agree with ya on this one.If I remember my history we had U.S. troops in Mexico City easily during the Mexican War of 1849.

Also, Baja California could have been bought when we bought the Gadsen Territory in Arizona. Mexico was hard up for U.S. currency back then.

I agree with ya on this item that Mexico will have to cede this territory Baja California to the U.S. if we have a war with them. Plus, we will build this Southern Border Wall this time around!!!

If we just sieze Baja and the mainland of Mexico down to a line from Colima to Hidalgo and on to the Gulf, we’ll only need about a 500 mile wall instead of the current 2000 mile wall we need now. Leave a 10 mile no-mans land and let the cartels have everything south of that, with the understanding that we shoot on sight.

I like taking Baja. All crossers are sent there. US builds a prison there and deports current prisoners there. Baja stays primarilly mexican.
