A non-stop parade of imbeciles & criminals who shouldn't even be let out of their neighbourhood, nevermind their country, have stained the soil of this great Republic.

In 13 months of government, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has sent a total of 25 commissions to Mexico, mostly headed by the heads of the main security agencies, an unprecedented figure in the history of the bilateral relationship.

His cabinet has visited our country on more than one occasion since the Republican returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, according to information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE): Marco Rubio, Secretary of State; Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture; Doug Burgum, Secretary of the Interior; and the directors of the CIA, the FBI, the DEA, and the Northern Command came.

The arrival of the US officials has been framed “within the work that both countries are carrying out to strengthen security on both sides of the border and improve trade,” the SRE explains .

Terry Cole, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) , and Gregory Guillot , director of the Northern Command, are the White House officials who have been in our country the most, with three visits each, amid President Trump ‘s insistence that the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum give Washington a more important role in the fight against the drug cartels that produce fentanyl and smuggle it into the United States.

“We have eliminated 97 percent of the drugs that come in by water, and now we are going to start attacking the cartels by land,” the US President said just last month during a press conference.

The Mexican president, for her part, has repeatedly said that the two countries are collaborating in the fight against the cartels, but that her government will not allow the proposal to send US soldiers across the border.

“We’ve said it before, and we’re going to explain it in more detail now. We believe there’s something the United States can help us with a lot: stopping the flow of illegal weapons from the United States to Mexico,” Sheinbaum declared yesterday at her morning press conference.

According to information provided by the SRE, John Ratcliffe, director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the head of the Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , Kash Patel, are among the officials who have visited our country most frequently.

Their presence in Mexico, according to some specialists such as Dr. Andrew Selee, President of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), based in Washington, has been key in the capture of drug trafficking leaders such as Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho, killed by Mexican security forces on February 22, or the capture of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, in January 2016; as well as in the extradition of drug traffickers to the neighbouring country.

“Although Claudia Sheinbaum ’s government has assured that all anti-drug trafficking operations in Mexico have been carried out by Mexican forces, it is evident that behind the biggest blows, such as the killing of El Mencho, is US intelligence, specifically from the CIA and the FBI,” the expert stated in an interview.

He recalled that it was Mexico’s own Ministry of Defense that reported, through a statement, that central military intelligence agencies participated in the operation against Oseguera Cervantes, and that within the framework of coordination and cooperation with the United States government, there was also support from US authorities, specifically from the new Joint Interagency Task Force Against the Cartels, which involves several agencies of the Donald Trump administration.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin , and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are among the officials listed among the 25 visits reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This number represents three times the number of visits ordered by the Republican president during his first term, which ran from 2017 to 2021.

No other administration, including those of the PAN and PRI parties, has received the same number of US officials in such a short time.
