Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

Apparently we need to choose better allies.

Its idiotic to not support our bordering neighbor or the states that border them. Our efforts to help them help themselves helps us.

Honduras is in bad shape as is Guatemala.

Mexico has no alliance with the US and has not since WWII when we were mainly importing labor from them in exchange for assurance that we wouldn't try to topple their revolutionary government when we were done fighting Tojo. They aren't part of NATO. The last agreement we had with them to help them help us was to help us help ourselves to the parts of Mexico we wanted to invade and annex in the 1840s.

Canada is one of our closest allies, being both an actual ally, and geopolitically close to us. Mexico, not so much. We already took the parts of that we wanted.

Sure we should support Mexico. I'm not sure how "support Mexico" means allowing millions of their citizens to illegally come into our country nor allowing Mexico to allow millions of citizens from other countries to illegally invade our country.

Does Mexico have to support the US? Or is this friendship yet another one way street that Democrats seem to love so much with hostile and semi hostile nations?

That's a good point.

Hey Back, what should Mexico be doing to support us? And what should we be doing to support Mexico?

Be specific instead of your usual vague meaningless virtue signaling non-responses.
