To President-Elect Trump: Beware of Duplicitous Mexican ‘Ant Operations’ to Hide a Mad Border Rush
By Todd Bensman on November 7, 2024
AUSTIN, Texas — In a New York Post column this week, I revised my earlier dark warnings that Mexico would likely unleash hundreds of thousands of migrants yearning to cross the U.S. Southwest border before Donald Trump could win a second term, take office, and dam the whole border up.
I wrote in the Post that there’s now pretty good reason for more optimism that Mexico’s new leftist president, Claudia Sheinbaum, may instead intervene and block the first migrant caravans at least 5,000 strong that set out from deep southern Mexico on Election Day morning and are still moving this way to test her will to intercede.
Remember that Mexico has been holding back the human tide since last December, when President Joe Biden struck a backroom deal with Mexico City to alleviate the ruinous political spectacle of a badly congested southern border for the coming 2024 political campaign season. For 10 months straight, the deal has had 32,500 Mexican troops and even more federales round up tens of thousands of intending border-crossers from the country’s north and ship them by force to a militarized blockade in its southern states.
