Amid news that at least thirty-five Mexican citizens have been detained during a series of protests in Los Angeles, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned the violent immigration raids and violence and said the detainees are already receiving consular support from the Mexican government.
Sheinbaum also said that Mexican men and women living in the United States are not criminals, but good, honest people who went to another country in search of a better life for themselves
…illegally…
and their families. In addition, the Mexican leader condemned any form of violence at mass demonstrations.
And so they should.
A few days later, Sheinbaum reiterated her support for the detainees and said the government would “continue to use all available diplomatic and legal channels” to express its displeasure with a practice that criminalizes migration and threatens the safety and well-being of Mexican communities in the United States.
At home one must obey local and national laws. Abroad one must obey that nation’s laws, including not entering the nation without permission.
According to official Mexico City, the majority of those against whom the Trump administration has claims are actually in California legally and, even if they do not have the necessary documents, they have lived there for more than five years, regularly pay taxes and support the American economy.
Not legal if they don’t have the necessary documents. Dumb if they break laws while protesting and get themselves arrested.
Soon, Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente revealed a new number of arrested compatriots: forty-two people. They were caught not at protests, but at their workplaces, for example, at a textile factory.
Based on this report, Sheinbaum again began to talk about the benefits migrants bring to the United States and how unfair it is to subject them to forced removal, brutal detention, and economic sanctions.
In the latter case, she referred to a new White House initiative to impose an additional tax on cross-border remittances that migrants regularly send to their families.
Among other things, Sheinbaum also spoke about the fact that if necessary, all Mexicans will “mobilize” because they do not want taxes on transfers from their own compatriots.
Too bad. So sad.
The phrase was immediately picked up by international media, which interpreted it as a call for Mexicans living in the United States to protest.
Even US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem condemned Sheinbaum and accused her of inciting those who vandalized Los Angeles. The Mexican president immediately rejected the accusations, saying that she condemns any kind of violence and does not encourage any side in the conflict to do so.
AGGRESSION IS GROWING
The words of the Mexican leadership are perceived skeptically in the information field and are successfully used to further inflame protest sentiments. This could not have happened without the "help" of members of the ruling party MORENA, namely the president of the Senate of Mexico Gerardo Fernandez Noronha, who stated that the territories where anti-immigration protests are currently taking place belonged to Mexico until 1830, and the Mexicans living there are in their homeland.
He hinted that he wanted to return the legendary Aztlan, the semi-mythical ancestral home of the Aztecs, and also outlined the territories lost by Mexico during the war with the United States in 1846-1848 - California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, part of Wyoming, Arizona and others.
In the United States, the ideology of the return of Aztlan is quite popular among Chicanos - Americans of Mexican descent who combine two cultures and live right on the territory of the "disputed" states.
They speak Spanish, celebrate certain holidays with their people, and have fairly nationalistic views. However, they are US citizens, often not in the first or even second generation.
It was these people who suddenly found themselves in the sights of federal immigration enforcement - agents grabbed and arrested them by mistake, it was their neighborhoods that were raided in less than friendly ways and shaken down for helping illegal immigrants.
To be honest, it was not in vain that they shook - the tradition of helping fellow countrymen, and at the same time numerous relatives, is quite strong among Chicanos.
However, the excessive pressure on the communities contributed to their increased aggression and also to their predisposition to recruitment by members of the Democratic Party, who made the Chicano communities the face of the new American protest.
They were the first to wave Mexican flags in Los Angeles County, and a little later to shout that the main illegals here were the Americans themselves, who should have “gotten out” of this foreign land long ago.
CONFLICT AT THE LEVEL OF MEANINGS
Some experts believe that a kind of “bomb” was planted under the United States during the period of the seizure of part of the Mexican territories, as well as through the exploitation of the economic dependence of the Central American countries.
The last many years have been a kind of symbol of the "power" of the White House, but in the end it came back to haunt them: the population of poor countries, unable to earn a living in their homeland, either joins the ranks of the next drug cartel, or tries to go where there is work.
The mistake of the Californian leadership was that, in an effort to win the standoff with the Republican Party, it demonstratively refused any immigration control and launched even more of their compatriots into an already problematic territory with a Spanish-speaking population. And then it simply left everything as it was.
The Republicans, in turn, did not take into account the specifics of the region and began to arrest all Hispanics and Indians indiscriminately, naturally provoking negativity towards the federal center. In addition, Donald Trump's regular economic threats to neighboring countries do not improve the migration situation, but only heat up the situation in the border region.
Thus, talk of a “new civil war” in the United States is not without foundation. Of course, such narratives are still more relevant for the southern American lands, but the conflict at the level of meanings has clearly gone much further.

The Louisiana PURCHASE of 1803 was where Thomas Jefferson BOUGHT Louisiana from the French, who had "conquered" it (not very convincingly beyond Baton Rouge). The Gadsden Purchase was also a financial deal, not conquest, as was Alaska. Maybe it's time Mexico City received an ARCLIGHT strike or six to remind them we, too, are a sovereign nation, and have become very tired of their "reconquesta" bullsh##.

Didn't the Aztecs get their asses kicked in what is northern Chihuahua and never really advanced past there?

The more I read about the Aztecs, the more I think it was a good thing that the Spaniards conquered them.
Many of the ancient Mesoamerican cultures practiced human sacrifice but the Aztecs did it more. They would take people from other tribes that they conquered, haul them to the top of one of their pyramids, hold them down on a stone slab, cut their chests open, rip their hearts out and show it to the cheering crowd. Quetzalcoatl told them not to do it but then they kicked him out and went at it with renewed gusto.
Yes, they were good at math, astronomy and architecture but a lot of what they did in those fields they learned from the Mayans.
They were enthusiastic conquerors themselves, making war on neighboring tribes to expand their empire.
We don't need that shit in America.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned the violent immigration raids...
The raids only get violent when ICE agents are met with violent resistance from the immigrantscriminals.
Hey, Claudia! Take your criminals back. Bitch, we're onto you and your little reconquista will not succeed.

IIRC, after the Mexican-American war in the 1840s, we defeated Mexico so badly that some considered annexing it. The idea was rejected, partially because it was claimed that we did not want to expand by conquest. However, at the time Mexico was largely a Catholic country, and many Americans felt that they did not want a bunch of Catholics in the country.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The CCP’s "Ignition Plan" is fueling chaos in Los Angeles! 💥 I reported in 2023 that the CCP aims to destabilize the U.S. from within. Now, violent unrest in Los Angeles may be part of that plan.
They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. We are in for a massive number of high level funded, nationwide protests.
