Brandon Darby, Ann Coulter, Nation Building


“Why can’t we bring the military back and send them to Mexico?”

“But all of those things are treatments for an underlying problem,” [Brandon Darby] added, “...If people from El Salvador wanted to come north to work and Mexico had jobs, they would just stay in Mexico, which would be fine with me — that’s the kind of thing we have to start looking at.”

[Jack Posobiec of OANN One America News Network] noted how the U.S. engages in “nation-building” in other countries but doesn’t appear to give Mexico the same attention, despite the nation being so much closer to home.
“How ridiculous is it that we’ll do these nation-building projects in Afghanistan, and Botswana, and Burundi, [but] the one where you could at least make the argument that there’s a direct benefit to the American citizens is just south of our border?” asked Posobiec.

Coulter offered her response.

“It’s like you’re reading my mind,” she said. “Whenever I see Brandon’s articles, I want to tweet them out and say, ‘You know, this is two miles from where Americans live. This is 20 miles from where Americans live, not 7,000.’ Why isn’t the media talking about it? I mean, other than Brandon Darby at Breitbart.”

“It’s very, very strange — this is happening right on our border,” continued Coulter. “It’s as if you have ISIS and al-Qaeda together, doing their beheadings and mass murders, and it’s cheek by jowl with us, with no border in between, but no, no, no, tell me what’s going on in China. Tell me what’s going on in East Timor.”

“Of course this influences us,” added Coulter of the Mexican drug cartels. “Why can’t we bring the military back and send them to Mexico?”

The trouble with Mexico is, despite all their problems, they are a very proud, independent people, and they don't want anyone messing with their current setup, or changing it to suit an outside party. While bringing in the military might help in the short-term (possibly to get rid of the cartels), Mexico's problems run much deeper than what we see on the surface. The biggest issue they have is that all the wealth and power in Mexico lies with a tiny group of corrupt elite that run the country. Trying to fix that would require a societal upheaval that is more trouble than it's worth.

If Mexico wants to change for the better, the change has to come from within the country, not from the outside.

Sounds like the USA, and I'm not saying this loosely.

Agreed. It's hilarious watching Trumpers whine about the oligarchy when they can't pin it all on socialism. They end up sounding like progressives. Silly libtard AmeriGirl.

I don't think that wingnut even knows what she's posting half the time. I usually skip right over her postings - complete waste of time.

Sounds like every socialist, communist, and middle eastern country. As well as Washington DC and every major communist Democrat party run big S hole city.

We treat Mexico like Tijuana is it’s capital. Mexico City is very advanced. Let them take care of their own instead of dumping them on the US like trash. We have our own to take care of.

I guess we're sending the Army to Seattle to reclaim some slum "artist colony"
