They're deciding they wanted to do that because of their political agenda.

So that's why you have this domestic component that is working in cohesion with these foreign powers.

It's a great question, Steve.

There is an individual, I'm trying to remember his name right now, he's in the book, that was advising both George W. Bush and John McCain in his 2008 presidential campaign.

What's interesting about this individual is that he, at the same time that he's advising George W. Bush and John McCain, he is also the head of

of a government office in Mexico, which is the office of Mexicans overseas.

It's run out of the foreign ministry.

So you literally have a Mexican government official who's advising Bush and advising the McCain campaign on issues related to amnesty, while his government job in Mexico is the liaison between the Mexican government and those Mexican Americans that are illegally inside the United States.

So this, again, I think is where

our naivete and our blind ignorance as it relates to mexico comes into play most people you talk to steve will say they're corrupt they're hapless they're not capable of doing anything they're actually pretty sophisticated when it comes to this stuff because they know the stakes are very high and they know that the more that they can exert sovereignty inside the united states effectively reclaiming territory

the more political power and leverage that they are going to have.

And they take that very, very seriously.

And they've penetrated part of our leadership class.

And that, I think, explains part of the reason some of our elites are turning a blind eye.

Yeah, no, exactly.

And the drug cartels are very important here because, yeah, they sell drugs.

They make a lot of money.

They actually make more money off of human trafficking, or at least they did when the border was open.

And what they've done, Steve, is the drug cartels in Latin America are influencing American politics.

Some of the individuals linked to these Latin American drug cartels are part of an organization called Progressive International that was started by Bernie Sanders in 2017.
