What other option does the Mexican government have??
I am one who believes that the Mexican government is in cahoots with the drug cartels.
If they weren't they would send in their entire military to the border. They don't because they are getting bribed by the drug dealers who are now using medieval catapults to launch drugs over our fences.
I wouldn't doubt if Big Sis is getting some cash in an offshore bank account from the drug dealers. But that would never be investigated by anyone.
I wonder if they have considered Midnight Basketball?
If the Mexican government were not at least tacitly in cahoots they would close the border on their side. However, I think it’s a matter of money, but only in part the direct bribes from the cartels to the government.
It’s more a matter of basic economics; they can’t afford to close the border. Consider all the money sent from illegals to the US back to their families in Mexico, add to it all the American money circulated in the Mexican economy from the drug lords, and finally, all the money made selling products made in the machiadoras back in the USA.
If they keep the border open, they have to live with current chaotic situation. If they try to close the border, the economic collapse will be worse than chaos.
