Should the United States invade México? (Aggregate)
Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero
The controversy in the media generated by the statements of former President Donald Trump regarding the harsh treatment in diplomatic relations between his government and our country, as well as the possibilities to invade Mexico that constitute the center of his renewed political campaign, is an example of the ignorance and the inability to turn around to see the painful issue of Mexican emigration to the United States. It weighs a lot on Mexico to see inside itself. We don't know each other and the different social groups try to impose their vision of the country in a radical and violent way, but never honestly.
Mexico does not have a country project, we are a permanent dialectic of castes where anyone takes advantage of the spirits in dispute to add fuel to the fire. The serious thing is that the fire is already burning the United States and Donald Trump is not kidding when he talks about imitating Vladimir Putin to bring order to a Narco-state that only produces violence and emigration. North America is responsible for the state of things, it never understood the consequences of sending weapons and money to social groups that have so much resentment and hatred.
The ignorance regarding the number of Mexicans who have emigrated and reside in the United States causes shame. Officials and communicators, politicians and academics. It is rare that no one makes a mistake when accounting for remittances.
The conundrum in the migratory relationship between Mexico and the United States has caused notable American intellectuals such as Samuel Huntington, George Friedman and Joel Garreau -to mention the most sensible ones- to define that Hispanity is the greatest challenge of Anglo-Saxon culture, and of Mexico.
The post-covid world poses a dispute between globalists and nationalists that is limited to the global powers. The United States will have to focus on Latin America to maintain its status and, therefore, its role lies in correcting the failed states and the economic surrealism that so many emigrants have arranged around it. A few weeks ago, the debate regarding the electricity reform divided legislators between pro-Hispanists and nationalists. What is the reason for continuing to sneak in corrupt Spanish companies if Mexico must rethink its relationship with the United States? If Mexico receives so many millions of dollars in remittances and more than 90% of its economy depends on North America, why is more than half of the population poor and almost a million people -annually- try to emigrate to the United States? Ramón Eduardo Ruíz would say that the Spanish colonial social structure is responsible. And he is not wrong.
Hispanic Catholic casticism is the slope through which the fraternal hatred of Mexico flows, it remains undeterred since Hernán Cortés and Malinche. Lies, slavery, patrimonialism, castes and caciques. Right of blood that forges a multinational state, but not a nation. The caste system is what determines aporophobia, racism, classism, intolerance. If weapons, dollars and drugs are added to this, the scenario is set, where is national unity?
America has used a similar strategy in the conquest of the West, to make firm its expansionism it sent the Army after the pioneers and cowboys; and he did it several times until the only monopoly of violence was the State. And she will do it again as many times as it is. It is what is lost sight of when one does not want to understand that Mexico is a colony of the United States and not of Spain. And that this condition tends to increase as the post-covid world approaches.
The fire of the failed state that is burning the south of the United States, the one that the neoliberal Hispanic Catholic guerócrats do not want to see and for which they were responsible, is Donald Trump's excuse to be the North American Vladmir Putin, the Batman of Gotham City.
Mexico has the challenge of abandoning Hispanic values -Catholicism, caciquismo, latifundismo, casticismo, etc.,- and recognizing the geopolitical order from which it cannot escape. Characters like Donald Trump will be more and more common, and pretending -everywhere- regarding the true relationship between Mexico and the United States only aggravates things. A liberal superpower is not going to allow its neighbor's illiberalism to extinguish it. Neither Spain nor the Vatican will provide support to the Mexican Ukraine.
