The United States acts firmly in the face of the migration chaos; Mexico opts for diplomatic submission
The United States no longer waits. Meanwhile, crime organizes and advances from the south, Washington responds with force from the north.
The White House protects what Mexico has left in neglect. It is not a hostile gesture; it is an inevitable reaction to the omission of the Mexican state.
The United States officially designated several areas on its border with Mexico as national defense areas, which implies strict restrictions for any unauthorized entry.
The warning from its embassy in Mexico was blunt: "Do not enter." And it is not rhetoric: anyone crossing without permission will face arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment.
These areas are mainly located in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. They are backed by Section 21 of the Internal Security Act of 1950. There, entering, driving a vehicle, or recording images is prohibited unless there is express authorization from the Department of Defense.
In the face of this unprecedented measure, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, did not issue any formal protest. There was no diplomatic meeting, no statement of rejection, not even a symbolic gesture. The priority, it seems, remains not to upset Washington... even if it means ceding sovereignty without resistance.
The 4T once again shows itself to be lukewarm and subordinate. It prefers to repeat empty speeches about migration as a human right, while organized crime advances on both sides of the border, without control or response.
Although the measures of the United States may seem extreme, they respond to a concrete crisis that Mexico has ignored: the border is broken. The migratory passage is controlled in many areas by mafias that extort, traffic, and murder with total impunity.
If the regime continues to cede sovereignty without resistance, others will occupy that space. With or without permission.
The narrative of "friendship and cooperation" is no longer enough when there is crime, trafficking, and death crossing the border every day. The rhetoric is exhausted; reality imposes its own logic.
Meanwhile, the officialdom avoids confrontation, the United States has already decided: it will defend its territory, even if Mexico doesn't defend its own.
