The massacre of nine American citizens has dealt a new blow to the Mexican president as he aims to free his country of foreign interference, enveloping him in a growing security crisis just as President Trump seeks re-election

MEXICO CITY - The massacre of nine American citizens has dealt a new blow to the Mexican president’s aim to free his country of foreign interference, enveloping him in a growing security crisis just as U.S. counterpart Donald Trump seeks re-election.

A history buff who makes frequent references to past U.S. and French invasions of Mexico, Lopez Obrador is pursuing a nationalist economic vision, and is staunchly committed to a policy of non-intervention in other countries’ affairs. After the migrant episode, the killings will give Trump more leverage on Mexico as he gears up for re-election, said Gustavo Madero, an opposition senator for Chihuahua.

Instead, murders have risen, and the tally in 2019 is on track to surpass last year’s record of more than 29,000. “It’s a matter for us deal with, the Mexican government, independently, and upholding our sovereignty,” he said.

Fun fact - Mormons are drug dealers.

A big wall would be handy.

'Hugs Not Bullets'

He should be more concerned with the drug cartels running Mexico.

Why were they living inside Mexico?

At this point it seems there could be no better spokesman for cartels in Mexico than AMLO himself.

But, having a drug gang shoot up a town to get their leader out of jail was no biggie-right?

Maybe he should get ahold of the narco state he is overseeing. Foreign interference? Seriously? Babies were shot and burned alive 70 miles from our southern border, if he won't interfere we should.

I don’t like when we send our military to foreign lands to fight for oil wells. However sending our us_navyseals and/or Army Rangers into Mexico to dispose of these cartels seems more like what militaries are set up for; defense! Go and kill every last cartel member! They murder us we SHOULD kill them, Trump should order some black ops to handle this. You kill women, you kill children I have no pity for you and add on top it was American and Christians as well, please go after them Trump or Congress....whoever!!! America could so easily wipe out every Mexican cartel if we wanted to. The Chihuahua cartel should be one that they put their stamp on.

Trump dismisses polls favoring his impeachmentAs Democrats move to a new phase of the impeachment inquiry, a new Fox News poll shows that 49% of the country supports impeaching the president and removing him from office. Washington Post Political Reporter Eugene Scott joins Stephanie Ruhle and Ali Velshi to discuss these new numbers and the way the president is dismissing them. Silly, liberals! Polls are used to influence opinion, NOT reflect it. The extent of Trump's corruption is mind numbing. The extent to which he's going to protect himself and cover up in current court cases alone is unbelievable. His belief that he is unaccountable to anyone is totally unacceptable. IMPEACH AND Remove. 😂🤣😂 Let’s see what the real polls show next November, 2020.
