Mexico and Canada react to Trump

December 3, 2024

Migrant rights activists are protesting that Mexican authorities have broken up two huge caravans of migrants who were crossing Mexico to enter the US illegally, after Trump threatened 25% tariffs on Mexico. Wait, you mean it's possible for Mexico to STOP people from walking across their country to enter the US? Who knew?!

And guess who else immediately came calling to talk to Trump about border security. If you guessed Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, you win a cigar.

As you can see from this hilariously snarky report from Scott Pinsker, Trudeau is facing Arctic headwinds in next year's election, with 57% of Canadians wanting him off the ballot. This is good news for our Canadian cousins.

We've received objections from some Canadian readers that the real border security problem is with Mexico, not Canada, and they have a point. However, while there might not be as many entries from the north, it's not something to be unconcerned about. The National Post of Canada reported Friday that according to US Customs and Border Security, 87% of people identified as "terror suspects" who tried to enter the US via a land border in 2024 came from Canada. The good news: they were stopped at the border. But these are the ones we know about.

Besides, strong border security would also be beneficial for Canada. It would keep them from being invaded by entire states' worth of whiny leftist insurrectionists who want to secede…

…And while a wall across the entire Canadian border would be very expensive, think of how many Trump-hating Hollywood celebrities it might keep out. Money well spent!
