Then again Nancy Pelosi might welcome the move, since she loves to defend MS13 gang members.

Look, 2001- Mar 2003, we'd be all up in that bitch. Everyone shut the fuck up real quick after 11 Sept because they knew someone was about to get fucked up.

Visit Calexico, California and head south. Or Brownsville, Texas. Or Nogales, Arizona.

Look, if I were President, all that Middle East shit is done. We're focusing on Mexico, we're focusing on Central and South America. The Gulf of Mexico. The most dangerous nation in the world is Mexico. That is some bullshit. They should be one of the more prosperous and safest ones. That is how you solve immigration.

Mexico broke out into basically a civil war within the last couple of hours. It's fucked. El chapos kids taken into custody which has led to the cartels swarming. I've seen footage of at least two Mexican military helicopters shot down.

Venezuela is now part of the UN human rights council. This is why the UN is a fucking joke.

I remember when I was in Afghan, we had a Dutch OMLT guy with us when we took the ANA out. We were talking about Mexico, and this was back in 2010 even, and he basically said "Wow, you have an Afghanistan on your border."

Sooo...is there a crisis at the border or is this still a made up crisis?

P.S. People should click that link, that way they know exactly what we're dealing with.

Or maybe we wouldn't. Hello drug cartels.

That's a wildly inaccurate depiction of the situation, but it does fall squarely within Republican talking points.

You know what's guaranteed to fan the flames of turrurizm though? Brutal crackdowns along the border.

Would the brutal crackdowns look like this Turkish attack on the Kurds?

Okay Mr Expert. I'm sure you know why the Turks attacked more than the Turk do.
