Trump is not president yet, but foreign leaders are already treating him as if he is.
They are planning for D-Day — Inauguration Day.
Here’s how two of our hemispheric neighbors, Honduras and Mexico, are dealing with the threat of mass deportation.
HONDURAS:
Remittances from Hondurans abroad (mostly in the U.S.) account for about a quarter of the Honduran GDP. The Honduran elites don’t want that gravy train to end!
“Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena,” Honduran President Xiomara Castro recently stated.
“[The Americans] maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras.”
Honduras is our closest military ally in Central America, and has even sent troops to help us in Iraq.
The U.S. military’s Joint Task Force Bravo (JTF-B) is headquartered at Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras, with between 1200 and 1500 American troops stationed there.
JTF-B carries out humanitarian aid missions in Central America. So will those operations end if the U.S. military gets kicked out of Honduras?
One thing’s for sure – Xiomara doesn’t want her people back!
MEXICO
The vast majority of Biden’s illegal invaders entered the U.S. through Mexico.
After balking for a while, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is open to receiving deportees – including non-Mexicans.
Her predecessor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, had a good working relationship with both Trump and Biden. Sheinbaum will likely have the same with Trump.
I think Mexico is going to take back its own deportees and even non-Mexican deportees and may cooperate in other ways on the border.
Mexico is planning to have 25 shelters (each housing 500 deportees) in operation by January 20.
Simultaneously, though, you can expect Mexico to meddle in the deportation process.
After all, Mexico has the world’s largest consular network in the world, on U.S. soil, and isn’t afraid to use it.
The Mexican government is setting up an app for illegal Mexicans. If Mexican illegals are being detained, they activate the magic app, which contacts their families and the nearest Mexican consulate.
Mexico plans to gum up the works by getting lawyers to slow down the deportation process.
On January 6, Mexico’s Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente addressed the annual convention of Mexican diplomats.
De la Fuente imparted, in a very fervent manner, these instructions to the assembled diplomats: “To the female and male consuls [sounds awkward in Spanish too] of our consulates in the United States of America, I request of you, in a very special manner, as I have done in meetings we’ve had in the past, that you deploy, with all your energy, the best consular diplomacy possible, that this past 200 years of our consulates in the United States, which is the largest consular network that a country has in any country in the world, shall be, in the near future, a source of support, of confidence, and of defense of our principles and the rights of our female and male fellow Mexicans, to count on all the legal supports that are required.”
He also informed the diplomats that the Mexican foreign service has assembled “a legal team of 2,610 lawyers and assistants, supported by 325 outside consultants for the legal defense of the Mexican Diaspora in the United States,” Excelsior reports.
Mexico’s strategy is to work with us on the border while simultaneously using lawfare on U.S. soil to prevent as many deportations of Mexicans as possible.
The previous Trump administration did nothing about Mexican meddling. We’ll see if Trump Admin II has a clue.
If any readers have administration connections, let Trump’s people know!
The world is watching. Are we really going to get control of our nation and deport all these illegal aliens?
Let’s give these countries something to gripe about!
