TODD BENSMAN: What I discovered inside teeming Mexican migrant camps that proves Trump's hardline policy is already working

President-elect Donald Trump won't take office for another five weeks, but his election is already causing a sea change in America's illegal immigration crisis.

In sprawling migrant camps across Mexico City, people are giving up their plans to cross into the United States and are instead planning to settle in Mexico or begin the long trek back home.

'I'm just going to give up and go back to Venezuela,' said a woman in one of the squalid encampments, where thousands of migrants have constructed tents with tarps and scrap material.
 
'I have children to take care of,' she added. 'I'll just go back because, with Donald Trump, it's going to be too hard.'

This is a cruel reality for millions of people drawn to Mexico by the Biden administration's indulgent border policies – only to find that Americans overwhelmingly rejected the misguided approach in the 2024 election.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Nothing cruel about it.  What Biden did was completely illegal.  The only cruelty came was to American citizens who had to pay and put up with it, sometimes losing their lives unncessarily.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Well, in a way it was cruel to load these people up with expectations that there was an open door, abundant bennies, etc., only to have the entire mess illegal and something that needs to be shut down (it never should have started).
That said, it sucks to be them. There ain't no free lunch, and even the US can't absorb that many people--especially paying for their presence.
Not to mention not needing the criminals and crazies.

Go home and fix what's wrong there.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
