One point of interest is how it's possible for the narrative to transition in the coming weeks with a few of the tidbits coming out. The cartel money laundering-laundromat and the targeting of the remittances that make up a sizeable amount of income for Mexico and the cartels smuggling immigrants across the border both have implications for what is being hit and as more information comes out the worse it will look for the protests. What we are seeing now could still be a part of giving folks enough rope to hang themselves with if combating the cartels turns hot in the midst of protesting. If it comes to it, cartel violence north of the border in retribution for targeting their money will lead to a very bad look for any protestors involved and would give Trump justification for hitting these people even harder. The cornerstone of the conversation has been on immigrants as a whole, and a shift towards a focus on what the cartels are doing would dig the graves of anyone who acted in support of the protests.
There's a good case to be made that Trump's team is far ahead of what any of his opposition is considering. We're only a couple tragedies away from potentially seeing a proper casus beli to turn the tides of public opinion and be able to justify sending the drone strikes in against cartel bases and ramping up deportations. I can only hope that Americans stay safe, knowing the bastards who own most of Latin America I only wish seventy times seven the cruelty they want to inflict on us.
