He sits on the National Defense Committee, which is the most powerful committee in the Mexican Senate.

He said just a couple of years ago, quote, Mexicans are in our territory, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming.

We're going to take back the territory that was stolen from us.

now when i first read these mark i thought okay well this is just kinda like bravado right these are just things that that they're saying to sort of explain away why so many millions of people are leaving their country coming to the united states but then when you look at the actual infrastructure that mexico has created in the united states and their statements their views on the issue of american sovereignty

you realize that, no, there is a different thought here.

Do they actually think that Texas and California are going to be part of Mexico?

No.

But what I think they believe, and I think the evidence shows, is they are trying to exert sovereignty in our country.

So, no, what do I mean by that?

Mexico has created, and when I briefed members of Congress and people in the White House about this, they were stunned.

Nobody knew this.

Mexico has a network of elected officials that serve in the Mexican Senate, serve in their chamber of deputies, basically their Congress, that live full time in the United States.

And their job as congressmen and senators is to represent Mexicans living within the United States.

That in and of itself to me is a massive infringement upon our sovereignty.

But then when you look at what these officials are doing and what they say,

um they are involved in some of the anti-ice protests they're involved in ginning up some of these uh riots that have occurred uh they are um meddling in our domestic politics trying to put their thumb on the scale they don't like trump's border agenda which is fine but again foreign officials getting involved in our elections um so you have that apparatus and then you have this apparatus of the consulates yes as you said

They absolutely can perform legitimate functions.

But you have consular officials.

I got a hold of a transcript of a meeting in May of 2024, an election year held in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma consulate.

They brought diplomats from Los Angeles to Orlando and everyone in between.
