It’s been a fine few days for piercing criticisms of Mexico from Tucker Carlson. On Wednesday, after listing many Mexican acts of political and cultural sabotage against America, he summed up, “The point is, that’s what it looks like when a hostile foreign power interferes in your democracy. They don’t buy Facebook ads that nobody sees, why would they? They try to change the demographics of your country. That works.”

Friday’s segment on our unfriendly neighbor repeated the charge that Mexico is a “hostile foreign power” with more examples of the evil it has exported upon us with crime, drugs and illegal immigration.

Mexico’s continuing aid of illegal aliens from Central America pushed President Trump into declaring he would begin increasing tariffs against Mexican goods unless Mexico became more helpful — an act that got Presidente Obrador’s attention in the form of a pompous letter that referred to an iconic American statue as supporting his ideology of invasion for the world’s poor.

President Trump: You can’t solve social problems with taxes or coercive measures. How does one transform, overnight, the country of fellowship with immigrants from around the world into a ghetto, a closed-off space that stigmatizes, mistreats, chases, expels and cancels legal rights to those who are seeking — with effort and hard work — to live free of misery? The Statue of Liberty isn’t an empty symbol.

Apparently Senor AMLO mistakenly believes the Statue of Liberty is an immigrant welcome mat. In fact, the historical truth is revealed by the sculptor’s title: Liberty Enlightening the World: Bartholdi meant that others should be inspired by the successful American Revolution and throw off the chains in their own nations.

Tucker Carlson agrees that the Statue of Liberty was the wrong symbol for the presidente of the narco state to use.
