Mexican Senator Threatens Takeover of U.S. States

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is making overtures toward the Trump administration in the wake of a threat by the White House to levy tariffs if Mexico doesn’t do something about illegal immigration.
However, one Mexican senator has a different tack for dealing with the threat: Take over some American states.
Félix Salgado Macedonio probably wasn’t thinking things through serious when he took to Twitter to first insult the President of the United States, and then propose taking back the territory the United States won in the Mexican-American War back in the 19th century.
However, the rhetoric is not what anyone wants to hear — particularly after Macedonio personally insulted Trump even before he went all irredentist.
“Trump corn hairs, do not think we’re afraid of you,” Macedonio began, according to a Google translation of his tweet. (“Pelos de elote,” or “corn hairs,” is a colloquial insult that means “unattractive hair.” Because, get it? He noticed that Trump’s hair can be mocked. No one’s ever thought of that one before.)
“Mexicans are in our territory (California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming) We are going to recover our territory that was stolen,” he continued.
He then saluted Lopez Obrado, who is often known by an acronym made up of his four initials: “Viva AMLO, bastards!”

Of all the possible reactions to a looming trade war between the United States and Mexico, this may indeed be the worst. There’s nothing like a threatened border incursion against a country with the most powerful military in the world.
Can’t you just see the Trump administration now? “Oh, well. One Mexican senator is threatening us with invasion. Better call off those tariffs.”
Not bloody likely.
Yet, Macedonio isn’t just some random lawmaker shooting off at the mouth. He’s currently serving as the president of the Comisión de Defensa Nacional (National Defense Commission) in the Mexican Senate, according to his official webpage. He also sits on several other committees.
In other words, this isn’t the Maxine Waters of Mexico. This is a man who holds a major position in electoral leadership, including heading up the Mexican Senate’s defense committee — and he’s on Twitter talking about taking back the territory his country lost well over a century and a half ago. (Apparently, Macedonio isn’t terribly familiar with international law or the concept of “right of conquest.” He might also not be aware the United States paid Mexico for the land it acquired at the end of the war.)
The rest of his tweet, oddly, seems to be devoted to praise for AMLO.
Lopez Obrador, however, is singing a very different tune – trying to appease President Trump and avoid devastating tariffs that will hit his country within days if he does not comply with Trump’s demad to stop illegal migration through Mexico.
In fact, at a news conference today, the Mexican president said he was open to the idea of tightening illegal migration in order to avoid the cumulative tariffs the Trump administration is proposing.

“The main thing is to inform about what we’re already doing on the migration issue, and if it’s necessary to reinforce these measures without violating human rights, we could be prepared to reach that deal,” Obrador said, according to Reuters. He also said he was hopeful that trade talks between the two countries this week in Washington would prove fruitful.

Not on the agenda, clearly, was the threat of trying to take back the states lost in the Mexican-American War. This was apparently lost on Macedonio.
There’s also another irony to Macedonio’s tweet: This is all because Mexico is unable or unwilling to secure its own (relatively small) Southern border. If it can’t, or won’t, do that, how exactly does Macedonio plan to get all of those American states back?
“AMLO” better get his people in line, and stop these caravans from moving freely across Mexican tyerroritoty to the United States.
Otherwise, on June 10 — when the first round of 5 percent tariffs is scheduled to take effect — the hammer is going to come down, and hard.

I'd really like to see this happen. All these ASSHOLES who don't pay attention to NOTHING besides their BS GARBAGE personal lives, TV/MOVIES/SPORTS, their apostate Communist Churches run by their $$$$ grubbing CON-ARTIST PASTORS and who never ever vote let alone know whose even running, DESERVE to GET THEIR ASSES KICKED and their LIVES DESTROYED in something like this. AND IT COULD HAPPEN!!!!! The STAGE IS SET!!!!! I've been watching this situation develop for decades now. We'd have a hard time controlling CHICAGO in the middle of the country, let alone CA., TX. etc. etc. if SHTF developed with these people. That's not to say ALL MEXICANS would revolt, but I fear too many would if their HOT BUTTON got pushed. REMEMBER the LA RIOT, 1992!!!!

Foreign Meddling? Mexican ex-envoy urges Mexico to sic Trump's U.S. political opponents on him

Where is the Democrat outrage at this rather naked threat from a well connected Mexican official?

Sic 'em!
That's the threat we read from Arturo Sarukhan, a former Mexican ambassador to the U.S. who wrote in an op-ed the Financial Times Sunday stating that while Mexico was "the adult in the room" for placating Trump over his threat to impose tariffs if Mexico doesn't halt the border surge of late, he wanted to see Mexico get a lot tougher on the U.S. over the agreement it made. Quite explicitly, he asked Mexico to use President Trump's domestic political opponents against him if Trump gets any tougher on Mexico for failing to keep up its end of the bargain, as the latter has vowed to do.

He writes:

Mr López Obrador should not blink and kowtow as both countries ascertain whether Mexico’s efforts to deter Central American transmigration have worked. But if Mr Trump does return to the warpath, Mexico needs to hold the line and work with its many allies and stakeholders in the US to pile political pressure on the White House.

"Many allies and stakeholders in the U.S."? Does the writer of this, the Mexican ambassador from the country's previous conservative administration (2007-2013), mean registered foreign agents? Because he's certainly calling on Mexico's current president to ask these people to do Mexico's bidding. Sounds like a real interesting one for the lawmen to look into, now that they are busting people on that rap for not registering these days as Tony Podesta and Paul Manafort can attest.
Or does he mean activating and working with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? Look how cozy he is with her, in this 2009 Cinco de Mayo celebration photo posted on one of Pelosi's own Flickr sites.
He ends his op-ed with a warning to Trump that he won't like the result if he gets any tougher with Mexico in trying get it to keep its end of the bargain in trying to halt the border surge:

In the coming weeks and months, while Mr Trump plays checkers, Mexico will need to play chess. The US has had the luxury of an ally nation at its southern border for decades. Wrecking the new US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, and its political and economic foundations, will have a hugely detrimental impact on the bilateral relationship that has been built so painstakingly since the creation of Nafta and in the aftermath of 9-11. Mr Trump should be very careful what he wishes for.

Careful what he wishes for? What we are reading here is a threat, from a foreign power, to activate Trump's domestic leftist enemies (and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) against him, all in the name of advancing Mexico's interests.
Sarukhan is not a Mexican official now, but as a former senior diplomat, he remains a pretty influential person linked to Mexico. It's not farfetched to ask if he remains in contact with the Mexican government. We know he has some impressive buddies on that front - as well as some impressive ones over here, given his long exposure to life in the states.
The Chinese often will use someone outside of government to state what they really think, while maintaining a cover of deniability. It's quite possible Mexico is using Sarukhan through this tactic, too.
Sarukhan also is a very experienced professional diplomat. He knows how to choose his words precisely and avoid gaffes, which is the bottom-line work of diplomacy. There is no doubt he meant to write what he wrote with that threat.
In making a statement like this, it's quite possible to think that Mexico has effectively announced that it will work to oppose the elected president to advance its own national interests. One can only wonder what exactly they have in mind.
Whatever it is, it's foreign meddling. So where are the Democrats' howls? Don't hear them, at least not yet, and given that Democrats are clearly the people Sarukhan is talking about getting the help from, don't expect we will. But it doesn't make the matter any less outrageous to voters here, who'd like to be able to choose their president for what he says he will do for them without foreign powers placing their interests ahead of them and using local pawns to get it all done. Sunlight is about the only tool we have for now. They're coming for our president.
