'A Turnabout by Mexico?'

Editor:

Since the tyrannical Trump regime is internationally infamous for creating truly insane public policies (specifically in this situation, foreign policy) based upon isolated incidents where an American citizen was killed by an undocumented immigrant from another country (usually Mexico), wouldn’t a turnabout by Mexico’s government be fair play? Of course it would. Mexico should stick it to Trump (NCJ Daily, April 10).

By truculent Trump’s own twisted standards, it’s time for legal sanctions and tariffs, also known as taxes, to be implemented against Trump’s wannabe-dictatorship by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo until such time as the United States stops the flow of violent American criminals and American-made firearms into the beleaguered, exploited nation of Mexico.

Unless you’re an uninformed and/or misinformed Fox “News” conservative, you probably are already aware of the fact that Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum Pardo is not only Mexico’s first female president, she is also Mexico’s first Jewish president (a secular left-wing liberal Jew, by the way), who has steadfastly resisted Donald’s ignorant idiocy, just like the vast majority of secular Jews have been doing right here at home in America.

Why not take that righteous resistance one step further at this time in the wake of the recent publicized arrest of fugitive U.S. citizen from Kern County, California — Cesar M. Hernandez — in Tijuana after he fatally shot a female Mexican cop named Abigail Esparza Reyes in cold blood with an American gun. Officer Esparza Reyes was a decorated member of an elite Mexican police unit called the “Gringo Hunters” who track down American fugitives from justice hiding in Mexico.

How many tens-of-thousands of Mexicans are murdered every year with American firearms illegally smuggled across the border into Mexico by criminal American gun runners, just so they can profit?
