Thread: Mexican Senator Threatens: We’ll Stop Fighting Terrorism If Trump Builds The Wall

"The charge that the war with Mexico was a plot to steal land from Mexico was first put forward by Whig politicians in an effort to discredit Democratic President James K. Polk and his administration. Although there is absolutely no proof to substantiate this accusation, some historians have also sought to promote this view simply because Polk had hoped to buy California from Mexico.

While it is true that the United States acquired a large amount of territory from Mexico as one of the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, it is often forgotten that the U.S. paid Mexico $15 million for this land, that the land held less than 1% of Mexico's population, that Mexico exercised very little actual control over it, and that some of its citizens were actually in favor of either British or American rule.

After the war, Mexico's treasury was depleted. There was no money to pay the millions of dollars in debts Mexico had owed private U.S. citizens for decades but Mexico had plenty of mostly unoccupied land. The territory that was acquired from Mexico constituted an indemnity for the cost of a war the United States had not sought and in return for the United States government's agreement to pay Mexico's long unpaid debts to U.S. citizens."

----------------------
I googled it.

Yes, we bought all the SW Territory and California from Mexico in 3 separate transactions.

We bought the midwest part of our country from North to South from France with the Louisiana Purchase transaction!

Nothing unusual at all about how we acquired the lands from Mexico.

They're just whiners who don't want to honor a deal, they always want to present themselves as some victim. They're beggars really, whiners truly and untrustworthy. Not a good neighbor at all. When you want to threaten not cooperating with the US on counter-terrorism so you can keep running illegal drugs and illegal aliens into the US, then you are no one's friend, you're SCUM.

So we have been paying off Mexico's debts, paying their extortion money, our incompetent politicians have made bad trade deals costing us billions, they continue to disrespect our Country dumping their citizens on us that we pay for, they come here illegally and take our jobs, sending billions in remittances out of OUR country, we put up with their crime, gangs, drugs, murder of our citizens...and all this going on since 1848?

And Mexico wonders why we want the Wall and want them ALL deported? Seriously?

Mexico thinks we're stupid, Beezer. That's the problem. The whole world thinks we're idiots because our government and CORRUPT MEDIA have portrayed US that way. They think we're monkeys in a zoo clapping for more poverty, unemployment, budget deficits, trade deficits, illegal aliens, immigrants. They watch CNN and think those morons speak for US. They look at Jake Tapper and think he speaks for US. Well, I'd judge us an idiot nation, too, if I thought those people were representative of the US. They're not of course, far from it, but that's who they see, corrupt stupid people on CNN, MSNBC, Obama, Pelosi, Luis Guiterrez ... they think that's The Americans. That's why they didn't think Trump would win, that's why they thought they all could get away with the same o, same o.

What some are realizing and all will know soon is that we're Trumps, not Jake Tappers or Barack Obamas. We're The Americans who saved their asses in WWII, just a different generation. OH YES, WORLD, WE'RE STILL HERE, YOU JUST NEVER SEE US ON MSM.

You've got 250 million pissed-off Americans over here in America, and this crap that's been going on is coming to an end.

What in the heck has Mexico ever done to fight terrorism, they let them flow through their country to ours along with their drugs and their poor. How are they doing to stop what they have never done, do they think we are idiots?

All the more reason for our Commander-in-Chief to deploy our troops to the border.

Send the tanks, let them do training exercises and let them assist our Border Patrol.

Let them build the Wall, we already pay their paychecks.

Send the message loud and clear you are not going to threaten us, you are not going to dump your drugs, gangs, diseases, terrorists and continue to facilitate your human trafficking ring on the US.

Americans must build the wall. We want a good wall, a beautiful wall, a wall done right.

U.S. news outlets appear to have forgotten that the Juarez Cartel and multiple acts of corruption have been linked to the election of the current Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto. The Mexican president’s ties to cartels, the mysterious release from prison of major cartel figures during his presidency, and the fact that regions of Mexico are under operational control of these paramilitary transnational criminal organizations during his presidency are rarely, if ever, reported in the U.S. The outrageous number of journalists who have been murdered or who have simply disappeared in Peña Nieto’s Mexico is also rarely reported.

Last year, Breitbart Texas reported on an investigation that revealed that a series of shell companies had been used by members of the Juarez cartel to funnel funds into Peña Nieto’s 2012 election. The investigation was carried out by Mexican award winning journalist Carmen Aristegui and her team; the subsequent scandal became known as Monexgate for the cash cards that were given out during Peña Nieto’s campaign. Those journalists have been under criticism by the Mexican government after discovering the cartel finance link, as well as the fact that Peña Nieto had received properties as bribes from government contractors.

A few examples of the current Mexican president’s softness towards his nation’s drug cartels provide some insight into the realities in Mexico that are ignored by U.S. media.

Coahuila and Los Zetas

In addition to receiving funds from cartel operatives, Peña Nieto’s campaign was run by another politician who has been singled out in international court hearings as a surrogate for the Los Zetas cartel. During the 2012 campaign, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) was run by Humberto Moreira. Before running the PRI and Peña Nieto’s campaign, Moreira was the governor of the border state of Coahuila. During his time as governor, Moreira worked as a surrogate of the Los Zetas drug cartel by giving free reign to the criminal organization in exchange for cash bribes, as Breitbart Texas previously reported. Once in power, Los Zetas carried out a series of massacres in that state where in one case alone 300 victims, including women and children were kidnapped, murdered and incinerated in a network of ovens at government facilities. Breitbart Texas’ investigation into the massacre revealed that some of the victims were incinerated in 55-gallon drums inside the state run prison in Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

As Breitbart Texas reported, Moreira spent some time inside a Spanish prison when that government arrested him on money laundering charges. During various hearings, Spanish authorities singled out Moreira as a surrogate of the Los Zetas cartels. As Breitbart Texas reported, under Peña Nieto’s watch, Mexico’s government flexed its diplomatic muscle and used political pressure to successfully force Spain into releasing Moreira.

No Pasa Nada — “Nothing To See Here”

Under Peña Nieto, Mexican cartels only grew in power as his government appears to be unable or unwilling to stop the cartel violence. Despite constant claims by Mexican officials about improving security conditions, Mexico continues to see an ongoing escalation of violence. Breitbart Texas has reported about Mexico’s Secretary of the Interior claiming that Mexico’s security conditions were the best they had been in a decade, while rival cartel factions fought for control of lucrative drug territories. The violence has been felt primarily in Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Veracruz, Guerrero and Nuevo León where gun battles and executions have become a regular occurrence.

During Peña Nieto’s term, key cartel figures have been suspiciously released from prison while his government officials claim to be improving security conditions. In December 2014, Mexico’s court system exonerated Raul Salinas of having ransacked millions in government funds as well as making money through various corrupt means, as reported by Breitbart Texas at the time. Raul Salinas is the brother of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Raul Salinas had been jailed in 1995 on the financial crimes.

In August 2013, a Mexican federal court released Rafael Caro Quintero, a drug lord who at one time was the leader of the Guadalajara cartel. Quintero’s cartel was the precursor to the now famous Sinaloa Cartel. The drug lord had been convicted of drug charges and the murder of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Enrique Camarena. For unknown reasons Mexico’s court system released Quintero before the U.S. Department of Justice could request his extradition; he remains a fugitive.

In 2014, another top cartel boss named Rogelio “El Keli or Z-2” Gonzalez Pizana was quietly released from a Mexican federal prison after being cleared of various drug trafficking and organized charges even though he had been convicted and was serving a 16-year-sentence.

Examples Could Go On and On

The examples of the Mexican president’s softness towards Mexican drug cartels could fill hundreds of pages. The point is that U.S. media continuously ignore the realities of Mexico and the voices of the many thousands who grieve for their murdered or disappeared loved ones. U.S. media avoid holding accountable the Mexican political leaders who not only turn a blind eye to the cartels, but often directly assist these criminal groups. This affects U.S. governmental policy and approaches to Mexico, largely leaving frustrated U.S. law enforcement agencies that are forced to balance their law enforcement priorities with diplomatic concerns with a partially failed narco-state. Voicing the diplomatic concerns of Mexico’s president without also reporting on cartel ties is not only a disservice to the citizens of the U.S., but it silences the voices of cartel victims and their loved ones in Mexico and adds further complications to their struggle for liberty and justice.

Follow the drug money all the way deep inside the US and where it all is will blow your minds. Obama, Hillary, Brown, DeBlasio, Emanuel, all the way up and all the way down our political system. That's why they hate Trump. He won't take the money and play their game against US.
