The U.S. Republican Party’s position on invading Mexico is alarming, to say the least. On the other hand, the Democratic lawmakers have introduced a measure prohibiting any U.S. president from taking military action against Mexico unilaterally. The measure was added as an amendment to the 2024 Department of Defense appropriations bill.
Not all Politicians have lost their minds.
“Armed interventions and the humanitarian crises they inevitably engender are central reasons why people leave their home countries in the first place,” Democratic Reps. Jesús “Chuy” García of Illinoi said. “Invading Mexico would endanger a key partner, increase the chaos in which cartels thrive, and force large numbers of people to come to our border fleeing violence — far from addressing the challenges that Republicans purport to care about.”
