Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced plans for constitutional reforms to protect Mexico’s sovereignty after the U.S. designated six Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

The designation has raised concerns in Mexico about potential U.S. military intervention.

Sheinbaum vowed to prevent foreign interference in legal matters and proposed enshrining restrictions on foreign agents.

Additionally, she seeks harsher penalties for foreign gun traffickers. With a congressional majority, her Morena party is positioned to pass the reforms despite tensions with the U.S.

    1. Because if the US gets rid of the problem, we don’t have a convenient ‘other’ enemy to point to when we want to dump money into the military or give an excuse for MAGAts to attack Mexican-Americans.

    2. Because then we wouldn’t have an excuse to invade Mexico. And make no mistake, he wants us to invade Mexico. Fascists need wars and ‘other’ enemies in order to keep people in their borders distracted and supportive.

    Canada is in danger too. His handlers need a war and they want resources, and Canada has a lot of natural resources to plunder.

    But he’ll go for Mexico first because it’s filled with brown people who we’ve been told are all terrorists who sneak over the border to take our jobs. It’s an easier target.
