1 Maybe we should just shut the southern border crossings for awhile.

2 Perhaps it is time to cut off all Mexico from the U.S.A. Watch the cartels and gov. eat each other alive!

3 Perhaps Sheinbaum no longer needs her Northern trade partner or it's industrial investment.

Mexico has long been close friends with Cuba.
Many a turn-coat has used Mexico to catch a flight to Havana, and visit.

BTW: Mexico is a #1 NAFTA delivery port for a High percentage of the USA consumed goods.

1 Mexican port alone, (Laredo Port) handles over $800M in US consumed items DAILY.

Shutting down/closing the US/Mex border will screw over American consumers big time.

6 ..just a pause. Plenty of Gulf of America ports to handle it.

7 re#5 800 million a day seems like it would hurt Mexico pretty bad to ,hence they may change their tune real quick. It also won't hurt the American consumer to be less materialistic.

8 Turn off the remittances and let's see who blinks. In fact, just shut them down, permanently. See how the Messican people react

9 As long as Cuba pays for the oil I am OK with Mexico selling it. Cuba cannot afford to buy enough oil to keep them going for long.

Venezuela was giving Cuba the oil, which kept Cuba's leaders in power.

11 Cuban Commies are broke, they are not buying zilch. Any oil they get will be earmarked as humanitarian aid.

Seems like the perfect time and an easy win after Venezuela. But the commie problem in our backyard continues to be allowed to fester.
