Texas Must Declare Economic War on Mexico to Secure the Border https://huffinesliberty.com/news/texas-must-declare-economic-war-on-mexico-to-secure-the-border?fbclid=IwY2xjawEuulRleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHdRpNf5OXGQJGYUqz1nPne6x98dNj7Lqe26Pt07izUJccsk4jHf4uiWNlw_aem_9H9AYNmCkMCP3KIDos930A The cartel-controlled Mexican government is working in tandem with the United States federal government to flood Texas with millions of illegal aliens from over 160 countries. The border crisis is leading the way toward the collapse of the rule of law—and is designed to turn Texas blue, ensuring the Democrat Party never loses the presidency and control of the free world. The wide-open border generates billions of dollars annually for the corrupt, dysfunctional, cartel-controlled Mexican government, guaranteeing the border stays open. The key to stopping this premeditated attack on Texas is to bring economic pressure on Mexico to force the Mexican government to secure its side of the river. No illegal aliens would cross our southern border if the cartel-controlled Mexican government did not allow them to. President Trump showed that a tough-on-Mexico approach works. He began putting pressure on Mexico through the threat of tariffs in 2019. On June 7, the United States and Mexico reached an agreement for Mexico to step up immigration enforcement and take in more illegal aliens waiting for their U.S. asylum hearings. It worked. U.S.–Mexican border encounters declined by more than half. However, once Biden took office and removed the threat of tariffs, encounters skyrocketed more than fivefold to 2,475,669 in 2023.
