Washington Post Admits, Mexico Reinforcing Border Due to Trump Tariff Threat

Remember how much of the mainstream media was pooh-poohing Mexico's agreement to reinforce its southern border due to President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs? An example was last Sunday when White House NBC correspondent Mike Viqueira discounted the agreement by claiming that nothing much was really achieved: “But a look at the details reveals that the agreement is an expansion of deals already made with Mexico and critics are calling it little more than a fig leaf.”

Well, less than a week later, in Thursday's Washington Post comes a report by Kevin Sieff that completely contradicts the widely held assertion in the MSM that little was achieved. The headline alone reveals that change in migration enforcement is indeed happening in Mexico and the reason for it: "Mexico, threatened with tariffs, tries to reinforce its southern border ahead of Trump’s deadline."

The MSM said there was noting knew in the deal since the terms were already agreed to months ago. Yeah, but Mexico didn't ENFORCE the terms UNTIL they faced the threat of tariffs as pointed out in this article.

Good. They have to admit that Trump is effective and is doing the right things.

When not so much as a jackrabbit crosses the border, then I’ll believe them.

Trump should be requiring them to build the wall. That would fulfill his campaign promise.

I bet Mexico won’t be afraid to shoot a couple of dozen at their Southern border and that will make a big difference.

Fwiw, “a little bird told me” (NO, I won’t say who it was other than he/she is a knowledgeable LEO “who works the border area”.) that the MEXICAN MARINES are now “being tasked with” shutting-down the southern border of Mexico to all illegal entrants.

That’s GOOD NEWS as their Marines are well-known as the toughest troops in Mexico.
