As a non-believer, I just need to say, Jesus fucking Christ.
I mean, why not, right? Why not invite the families of cartels into this country? It's a pretty good topper after accepting a 400 million dollar bribe from one of the countries most associated with terrorism. From the start of his campaign in 2016, he's calling Mexican immigrants murderers and rapists as a point of assumption. Accuses Haitian immigrants of eating pets on a national debate stage just because he heard it somewhere. Won't shut up about immigrants who are apparently crazy like Hannibal Lecter simply because he had a word association salad while half-ignoring people talking about "asylum seekers" and having core memories of seeing the "insane asylum" in Silence of the Lambs. Sends rogue gangs of secret police after any immigrants they can get their hands on, vanishing such "illegals" out of the country without due process to confirm whether or not they were in fact "illegal" to begin with - and refuses to even try to recover those who were illegally renditioned, even when ordered to do so by the highest court in the land. While the supposed identification of knuckle tattoos translating to "MS13" (primarily by means of having the same number of digits) was im fact dubious symbology, the Commander in Chief repeatedly insists the "translation" type photoshopped onto the photo actually part of the tattoos, even when repeatedly corrected. Furthermore, he constantly touts this idea that all of the people he is exporting to this El Salvadoran gulag are gang-related criminals, or at minimum part of cartel families, despite never having a shred of evidence to prove this. And while this supposed economy expert who destroyed the economy with tariffs he didn't understand fails on the world stage, showing he has zero aptitude for making deals in any context, he does actually agree to one deal: with an actual Mexican cartel. You know, those criminals he's always talking about? And part of the deal is that they're going to send members of their families to live here. You know, those gang-associated immigrants he's always telling you to worry about? That we need to get out of our country? If you pay him enough, he'll let them right on in no matter who they are. Just line his pockets on your way through the door. Someone please, I want to hear that I've eaten the onion. This cannot be reality, it just can't.
The megaprison gets mexicans out of the country and out of Mexico.
Cartel organizations had been classified as a terrorist sect recently. Combined with this, methinks he's plotting the same thing as Israel funding Hamas and then creating a crisis for which to occupy or invade.
Why would anyone genuinely believe the thought of them attacking Canada? Mexico has had their aggression for years and suddenly the buddy buddy neighbor is the target? It's clear smoke.
Mexico as an identity separates a lot of the social structure and erasing it would be easier to amalgamate into the USA. Hence the gulf renaming.
Or simply just making the US more of a Mafia State like Russia.
