Have you ever noticed that all it takes for US voters and politicians to be asked to compromise is for them to be told what our opponent wants or why they want it? We must compromise with China because China values saving face, nobody else on earth wants to avoid embarrassment I suppose. Mexico is corrupt from the start and from top to bottom in things large and small, but we must pretend that isn’t a character flaw, no it’s tradition.
Mexico is failing and nobody in Mexico is willing to make the hard choices to save their country. They’ll make some of the difficult choices, water those down, tip off the key people and then expect the Gringos to bail them out. If Mexicans won’t fight for their country like it’s a life or death struggle, we’re better off knowing that sooner. Seal their borders and force them to kill the trouble-makers, create jobs, and stop accepting corruption as normal. Nah! They’ll just shoot for a while, then bribe for a while, and then beg for a while, all the while blaming Americans for all of it. “An excuse is better than an accomplishment.”
