I woke up thinking about our southern border. I find it odd that our government basically has thrown in the towel and simply left the door open. Why would we do that? I do not buy into the vision that some evil WEF cabal is orchestrating the great replacement theory. Yes, the overall identity of the United States is being slowly replaced. I believe somewhere around 2030 whites will no longer be the majority in the country. This is already the case in California, with Texas not far behind. But I don’t think it’s intentional. The left certainly cheers this development, but I don’t think anyone in government is intentionally planning it.
I think we’re not addressing the border issues due to fear of the Mexican cartels. Drugs, guns, and human trafficking is a 10+ billion dollar a year business for the cartel. They will would not take kindly to that revenue stream being shut down. The Mexican government is fully controlled by the cartel and actively support the massive migrant flows north. Just the other day there was a record overnight surge of illegal migrants crossing the border. Video showed Mexican police escorting buses of migrants to the border. Don’t you find it odd our government says nothing about this?
The DEA assesses that Mexican cartels are operating in at least 1,286 US cities. One of the reasons you rarely hear about the notorious bloods and crips of LA is that the Sinaloa cartel came in and killed many of them and took over. I think it’s fair to say the cartels own the border and many of the US border towns.
The cartels have already infiltrated the border patrol. As far back as 2010 there were congressional hearings into corruption in the border patrol. In 2020 a report came out that said the CBP internal affairs believed that as many as 10% of border patrol officers were involved in corruption. That’s Mexico levels of corruption.
So why won’t our government do something about it? I think it’s fear of the all out war on the border that would ensue. If we actually tried to stop the cartels it would quickly escalate to a hot conflict with huge civilian casualties. I think you’d start seeing the level of violence you see in Mexico on US soil – bombings, beheadings, bodies left in the street, and public officials being assassinated.
Our public officials don’t have the stomach to put troops on the border. Of course there’s also the weird legal wrangling that would occur due to the posse comitatus act that prohibits our military from acting as law enforcement on US soil. If a president actually tried it, we’d end up dithering for years as the Supreme Court decides if it was a law enforcement action or defending our border from foreign invaders.
So where does that leave us? No politician has the gumption to start a hot war on the border and have to explain civilian casualties. We have effectively ceded the border to the cartels. They are free to operate with near impunity and continue the invasion of US cities. Gee, I wonder why the fentanyl issue is escalating? I’d be curious how many local politicians in the US are actually being bribed by the cartel? I’d bet it’s way higher than anyone thinks.
So what happens next? Nothing good. California has essentially stopped policing. Been watching all the looting and smash and grab videos lately? Just wait until the cartel gets bolder. No California mayor is going to do anything about it. Texas and Arizona are helpless. Their border towns have been completely overrun. Our government will prevent any citizen groups from banding together for protection. It’s not a pretty scenario.
Politicians calling for “building a wall” are just juvenile. It won’t happen and we won’t enforce it. The left is busy reframing the discussion as a refugee issue. Any talk about closing the border is instantly countered with racist and white nationalist accusations. Want to see the future? Spend some time looking into what South Africa has become.
This is how you lose a country.

As with Europe, the response to migration is doomed if it does not also address the root cause, namely the question of instability, inequality and climate change that is pushing people to migrate. The responsibility is even greater considering, in many cases, Western nations, such as the UK, destabilised countries using military or economic actions. This has occurred in the long-term, through colonisation and the more disguised economic controls and subjugation employed in modern times, including through organisations such as the IMF.

You can argue until the cows come home what the root cause is for both Europe and the US… but if you don’t take immediate steps to stop the massive waves of unchecked migration, countries will be fundamentally altered in ways you may not like. I don’t disagree that external actions are influencing that migration – but that’s a harder issue to address than your own border and immigration policies. Thanks for reading!

The problem is that there is no talk about root causes here in the UK, virtually. It’s as if it’s a terrific mystery that English-speaking people from places in Africa or the Middle East or South East Asia are turning up.
Immediate steps do need to be taken to manage the issue and using torture and death as a supposed disincentive should not be one of them. Unfortunately, here in Europe, migrants drowning is a everyday story almost now.
Certainly, migration must be managed and the reliance on exploiting cheap labour must be addressed. During and post-pandemic, in the UK, there was panic that there was no-one to harvest crops on farms. The apparent combined effect of Brexit and the pandemic meant that there was a shortfall of farm workers. A call went out to the British public to join a “farm corp” to save British crops – and the scheme failed as not enough people signed up and those who did had a tendency to quit, unable to deal with the work conditions.
If I remember rightly, the government helped fly over workers on a seasonal basis from such countries as Romania and or Poland to do the job.
