My guess is that neither Trump nor a single person in Congress is thinking about invading Mexico. Must be a slow news day.
No, it’s a reasonable question to ask.
If we are to be held morally responsible for taking in the Mexican economic, crime and corruption refugees then by extension do we have the moral responsibility to fix Mexico’s problems?
We’re taking invasion sized numbers of refugees. How many are coming over here with million dollar bank accounts, university level education and crime free records?
It happened exactly like this to Reagan and the Cubans during the Mariel boatlift. They cleaned out their prisons, their insane asylums or otherwise perpetually unproductive population who were barely sustaining themselves and changing the tipping point of one party against another. Only it’s 10x worse then Cuba.
There should at least be compensation demands that are made upon Mexico, who is actually facilitating this invasion. It may be land, it may be money, it may be approval and cart blanc to fight the cartels our own way without interference from Mexican police and army — because both are notoriously corrupt.
It all starts with talks and Trump has started it with “and mexico will pay for it”. They will with certainty pay for it under Trump. He just hasn’t had the opportunity yet to decide how.
I would start with $25 per person per car, truck, bus, airplane or ship entry fee. $250 per Truck for commercial trucking entry fee. With a set maximum of how many Latin American Visa holders can be in the U.S at a time.
We likely do have plans written up, probably periodically updated as situations and technology changes. We probably even have plans to occupy the UK if necessary, likely as defense against an invading force (the current saracen invasion).
