There is one good aspect to the coronavirus event, and that is the rediscovery of borders: They are so handy in keeping out people who might cause the preventable deaths of Americans from disease.

Unfortunately we face the Third World to our south and the border there is inadequate.

Perhaps worse is the cavalier attitude of Mexico toward the contagion. Life goes on as normal there in the corrupt and clueless nation. President Lopez Obrador leads the way, still hugging supporters at campaign rallies and remarking, “the pandemics… are not going to do anything to us.”

Mexicans have long thought of themselves as superior for some odd reason, but this latest delusion is a bit much.

Details were recently described in The Federalist:

Mexico Is Dangerously Unprepared For The Inevitable Wuhan Coronavirus Outbreak, By John David Davidson, March 16, 2020, The Federalist The disease is going to spread fast in Mexico, where a weak and corrupt state has made almost no preparations. As much of the world goes into various stages of lockdown because of the Wuhan coronavirus, Mexico is in denial. The government’s response thus far has been to downplay the risks and carry on with life as normal. Mexican officialdom has taken almost no steps to contain the virus or prepare for an outbreak, despite a warning last week from the deputy health minister that a widespread outbreak is inevitable and that community transmission could begin there in a matter of weeks. When that happens—not if, when—things are going to deteriorate very quickly in Mexico. The outbreak will almost certainly affect the entire country, cripple the economy, and threaten to bring down an already weak and corrupt government. . . .

The author John Daniel Davidson appeared with Tucker Carlson on Tuesday to discuss the illegal immigration implications.

Davidson thinks things could get messy when the Mexican public decides the disease is a problem and they would like some nice American healthcare.
