Trump's tariff on Mexico worked

It is hard to figure out exactly what is really going on in politics sometimes, but I do know that when checking up on what Obrador really did say he did not say America should be a free for all for everyone, as is being stated and quoted everywhere. Mexico really did try to stop some of these caravans to a certain extent. But I gotta say, after that tariff Mexico is taking it a lot more seriously and is now totally blocking the caravans, as well as busing central Americans back.

My opinion on immigration is that there's nothing wrong with it, provided whoever arrives does not go on welfare and is not a criminal making life hell for everyone. I remember the days when doors were not locked even at night and keys were left in cars. The only thing that changed that was immigration from places where people did not have the same standards.

Actually, MOST Mexicans DO have those standards but the problem is that there is that 5 percent that does not, and 5 percent will really screw things. When it is predominantly people from that 5 percent going north to the U.S., ADIOS to the "good old days", nowadays you probably can't even trust a cop to not steal your car as well as neighbor bob in the 70's.

I am at a loss as to how a 5 percent tariff caused such a huge change in Mexico, but it is a fact that the military did indeed take action to secure Mexico's southern border, it also caused Mexico to shut down the bank accounts of child traffickers and slave traders, and it also caused them to actually send people back to central America. As far as I see it, that's damn near an anomaly.

Obrador is actually a decent president for Mexico, who looks after Mexico's interests as well as Trump at least tries to for the U.S. A lot of crap gets spewed about Obrador that does not have any roots in reality. Obrador does hit obstacles with corruption in Mexico, and it seems he failed to stop the gas thieves (he had a well done siege on them and they were simply too persistent and the systems of subversion in that regard were well in place here.)

Obrador has five more years. We'll see what he can do. I don't buy that he was helping the migrants make it to the U.S. - Obrador is up against the same clan that is fronting an invasion of Europe, and that clan has undermined everything to accomplish it. It is awful tough to stop a well funded and globally supported effort to get people from A to B. I will also again point out that I think the numbers reported from the border are inflated drastically to damage Trump, I am seeing absolutely nothing going on here. One would think it would be noticeable on the street and it is not. There are no waves of people coming through this corridor, which happens to be the best way north and it is not even evident in obvious places, such as the main bus station.
