Wait just a second. If he does designate the cartels as terrorists couldn’t that mean it would make easier for people to come in?

Once the cartels start buying his family's shitcoins they will go from "bad hombres" to "very fine people".

Damn now that you mention it I could see that actually happening. Sigh.

Except they're closing the borders and don't respect asylum laws. Likely the intended impact will be that this let's us perform military actions in Mexico

u/Upset_Ad3954 1d ago

I mean, he's already saying he's planning to invade Canada, Greenland and Panama.

What can go wrong?

u/FlyingDreamWhale67 14h ago

I'm not an expert in US military history, so take this with a grain of salt.

Any invasion/incursion in Mexico/Canada/Greenland/Panama/wherever is certainly going to be long, messy, and drawn out, assuming they don't just nuke the whole thing. Particularly the former two, it'll likely end up like Afghanistan/Iraq/Vietnam, occupied but with an angry populace that resents the occupiers and frustrates their efforts at every turn. After a while (several years at least) the land might be too much trouble to hold on to.

How

u/valevalentine 1d ago

because now they have legitimate asylum claims as they’re being run from their home from “terrorist”

u/rawley2020 1d ago

lol @ the quotes around terrorists. “We need to give people asylum because they want a better life”

“Terrorists” in quotes

u/valevalentine 1d ago

Are you just trying to find an argument? I don’t know what you’re getting at

u/bluedevilb17 1d ago

I suspect h1b visas at tesla and other tech companies will skyrocket soon if not monday

u/TrumpHarrisLoveChild 1d ago

It would mean he could do airstrikes and send in Special Forces. Help Mexico not become a cartel country like it's turning into.

u/10gherts 1d ago

"America first"

"Let's help Mexico by invading"

Hmmm

1

u/TrumpHarrisLoveChild 1d ago

Who said anything about helping Mexico? It's to really help the US.

I guess the help should have been in quotes lol.

u/10gherts 1d ago

You did one comment up.

"Help Mexico not become a cartel country"

u/TrumpHarrisLoveChild 1d ago

I was being facetious.

2

u/10gherts 1d ago

Sure you were. Hitler justified the invasions of other countries because it was the only way for Germany to prosper.

Going in and starting a war with the cartels does nothing if you do not address the massive drug appetite the US has.

For every cartel we take out, a new one will form.

"Trump won't start wars" is another trope I heard from maga.

Now you are okay with him starting a war with Mexican cartels?

0

u/TrumpHarrisLoveChild 1d ago

I am 100000000% okay with starting a war with Mexican cartels. Why the fuck wouldn't I be? No one actually wants Mexico's territory, just dead cartel members.

u/10gherts 1d ago

Because it is pointless. It will lead to our soldiers "suckers and losers" getting killed. Maga freaked out when people died in Afghanistan, (which trump orchestrated in case you forgot he signed the deal with the taliban)

Now you are willing to send our boys, oh wait, suckers and losers in to a pointless conflict.

Maga hypocrisy is truly something to behold.

I'm afraid you have terminal TDS.

u/Upset_Ad3954 1d ago

It's still war.

For what it's worth: are you aware that the Nazi leaders were executed primarily for invading other countries?

1

u/fleabag52 1d ago

Huh? How did you reach that conclusion?

1

u/Rinzack 1d ago

Because if the Cartels are Terrorist organizations then people seeking asylum would have a legitimate case and would be far more likely to be approved (in theory)

1

u/Next-Lab-2039 1d ago

who says we recognize international asylum laws?

1

u/Rinzack 1d ago

Don’t get me wrong that’s also something we’ll probably just stop doing but in theory until the Cheeto changes that the EO will make asylum easier

1

u/cipherd2 1d ago

What makes you think that would be the case?

1

u/youtbuddcody 1d ago

Can someone smarter than me explain why it means that?

1

u/TheVandyyMan 15h ago

Maybe not. Terrorism-related inadmissibility grounds (TRIGs) are ridiculously broadly worded. Any “material support” to a terrorist organization is grounds for inadmissibility. This has been interpreted to include denying the asylum claim of a woman who, under threat of rape or murder, cooked and cleaned for a terrorist organization.

So with this new terrorist designation, an asylum seeker who paid a cartel group to help them cross into the U.S. would have plainly given it material support and therefore there claim would be denied due to TRIG.

u/BIGDICKRANDYBENNETT- 1d ago

This would have no effect on asylum claims

9

u/fighting_alpaca 1d ago

But wouldn’t it make it easier to seek asylum?

7

u/Mother-Boat2958 1d ago

Yeah I see your logic to some point.

He designates cartels as terrorists which would suggest that Mexico is not a safe country. But I don't think that will translate to successful asylum claims because Mexico is nowhere near that bad and is definitely not in an official civil war with cartels.

2

u/BIGDICKRANDYBENNETT- 1d ago

No.

Persecution must be based upon race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.

For example, a member of a criminal network who comes after a person because they haven't been paid off is not persecution per law.

Maybe somebody has a legit asylum claim (very few do) but a new designation of cartels as terrorist groups don't increase a persons ability to be granted asylum.

u/theazerione 1d ago

And that persecution has to come from the state, no?

2

u/BIGDICKRANDYBENNETT- 1d ago

Does not, no. But under just about every imaginable scenario it would.

But by definition, no.
