In Bordertown USA, Biden sends in troops — and Trump rubs his hands

Undocumented migration is already a problem for the White House. Next week it is expected to get much worse

Officer Sanchez of the El Paso police department on the US border with Mexico is bracing for a leap into the unknown.

He and his colleagues are already flat out dealing with thousands of illegal migrants crossing into the United States but they are expecting a surge in the number of arrivals after a controversial Trump-era entry restriction known as Title 42 expires in four days’ time.

“The fact is that on Thursday and after that, we don’t really know what is going to happen,” Sanchez said. “There could be a lot more people here, and that is a real concern.”

Trump Endorses Using Military to Crush Cartels: ‘I Would Do That’

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he supports a proposal from Reps. Michael Waltz (R-FL) and Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) that would authorize the use of military force against Mexican drug cartels to target the criminal enterprises and dismantle them.

There is no question Mexico is a Narco state.

The drum beat for military intervention has grown louder of late.

Mexico’s President Attacks U.S. DEA for Investigating Sinaloa Cartel

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador harshly criticized the U.S. government over an ongoing investigation into the Sinaloa Cartel.

Gunmen kill 7, including child, at resort swimming pool in Mexico

At least seven people were killed, including a 7-year-old child, when a group of gunmen stormed a resort teeming with vacationers in central Mexico on Saturday.

An eighth person was seriously injured in the mid-afternoon shooting — which took the lives of three women, three men and a child — near the pool at the La Palma resort in Cortazar, a small town south of the city of Guanajuato.

Alarming video footage taken soon after the assault showed stunned adults and children walking dead bodies piled up near the pool.

US charges 28 members of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel including El Chapo’s sons

The US justice department has charged 28 members of Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa cartel, including sons of notorious drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, in a sprawling fentanyl-trafficking investigation.

The attorney general, Merrick Garland, announced the charges on Friday alongside the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief, Anne Milgram, and other top federal prosecutors. The charges were filed against cartel leaders, as well alleged chemical suppliers, lab managers, fentanyl traffickers, security leaders, financiers and weapons traffickers.

Mexico’s President Attacks U.S. on Human Rights

Mexican President Lopez Obrador has responded to a U.S. State Department report on the Central American country’s Human Rights record.

The U.S. report mentions corruption and the violation of people’s rights by members of the security forces, as well as the failure on the part of Mexico’s judiciary to prosecute certain crimes.

“What if we evaluate their [the USA’s] record on human rights?” asked the President during a speech delivered to members of the press, referring to the high-profile case of Julian Assange by way of example: “Why don’t you free Assange? If you’re talking about journalism and freedom, why do you keep Assange in prison?”

We Are at War with Mexico

Are military invasion and annexation the only solutions?

There is a great deal of agonizing handwringing over the crisis that the United States faces at our southern border. Legislators from both ends of the political spectrum talk about comprehensive political reform, increasing border patrol at the U.S./Mexico border, and granting a pathway to citizenship to DACA residents living in America.

Few dare to diagnose and declare the nature of our real problem and proffer viable solutions: that Mexico is a hostile foreign power located at our border, that we are actually at war with Mexico, and that the only solution might be air strikes, military invasion, placing the country into political receivership or, more—outright annexation.

Mexican cartels threaten America’s playground

Olivia Rose Withington can remember when kitesurfers in the Mexican village of La Ventana would struggle to find a taco or a beer after a day on the water.

The village on the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula was a well-kept secret, known to a relative handful of “wind chasers” attracted by perfect conditions for the sport. Now, after years of American tourists flocking south for a slice of the good life, La Ventana is a secret no more. Withington is among the locals worried that it risks attracting the attention of Mexico’s increasingly rampant cartels.

Mexico too dangerous for spring break, Texas officials say

Authorities in the US state of Texas have advised American citizens not travel to Mexico during the spring break holidays for security reasons.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said that drug cartel violence represented a significant threat for anyone crossing into Mexico.

It comes after four Americans were kidnapped shortly after crossing the border last week.

Two of them were murdered, while two were released unharmed.

Texas trooper issues stark travel warning to Americans after three women vanished crossing the border – as it’s revealed more than 550 U.S. citizens are now missing in Mexico

A Texas trooper is warning Americans to rethink traveling to Mexico after three women vanished when crossing the border to sell clothes at a flea market – joining the more than 500 US citizens currently missing in the country.

Lieutenant Chris Olivarez, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told travelers gearing up for Spring Break to be careful when planning vacations to the popular travel destination.

‘Our department is urging anyone traveling to Mexico, especially spring breakers, to avoid those areas, because right now it is too dangerous with the increase in violence and kidnappings in Mexico,’ Lieutenant Olivarez told Fox News. ‘I can’t express enough to those thinking about traveling to Mexico, especially to spring breakers…to avoid those areas as much as possible.’

Mexico Threatens ‘Foreign Influence’ in US Elections on Behalf of Dems

The real foreign election interference Democrats don’t want to talk about.

Democrats and their media claim that there’s an urgent crisis of foreign influence in our elections. Yet every time one actually emerges, like Iran helping Biden in 2020, there’s sudden silence.

A foreign leader can get up and announce that he will interfere in elections on behalf of the Democrats and only a few conservative outlets will even cover it.

Why using the military against Mexico’s cartels is catching on

The peace of a border city cannot depend on those who direct drugs and human beings through it

“Slowly at first, then all at once” is the most famous line Ernest Hemingway never wrote, and credit its fame to its accuracy. It might feel like naming the Mexican cartels foreign terror organizations, and passing a bipartisan Authorization of the Use of Military Force against them, is an idea taking hold in Washington at breakneck speed. But it’s been an item of discussion for years.

Imagine the 5th Column.

Mexico has become a failed narco-state

It’s time to treat the drug cartels like terrorist organizations they are

Over the past week, a security policy conversation that’s been taking place behind the scenes has emerged into the open. It involves those engaged on issues related to Mexico, trafficking across the southern border, and the cartel-fueled and China-backed flow of deadly fentanyl into the United States. It’s that the time has come to escalate where the Mexican government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) will not, including through the use of military force.

Two Americans kidnapped in Mexico are dead – governor

Two of the four Americans kidnapped at gunpoint in Mexico last week are dead and two are still alive, a Mexican state governor has said.

Four US citizens were kidnapped by armed men on 3 March while driving into the city of Matamoros in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas, Mexico across the border from Texas.

They had travelled there for cosmetic surgery, relatives told US media.

US officials have yet to confirm the deaths.

Never been to Mexico, not dying to go either.
