Mayor Pete Suggests he may send in U.S. Military into Mexico

Mayor Pete Buttigiege says he'll dispatch the military to Mexico if the need arises.

According to this article:

South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said at a Latino forum in Los Angeles on Sunday that he’d be willing to send U.S. troops into Mexico to combat gang and drug violence.

"There is a scenario where we could have security cooperation,” Buttigieg said.

Even so, he added a caveat: "I’d only order American troops into conflict if American lives were on the line and if it was necessary to meet treaty obligations.”

Mayor Pete walked this back quite a bit after he received pushback.

So why did he say this? Buttigiege is triangulating. Remember Bill Clinton's policy? Set yourself as the moderate voice in a sea of radicals. It doesn't matter if you are actually a radical or not, just make yourself appear to be the moderate. Mayor Pete is doing that here. trying to sound tough.

The Democratic Party is rightly perceived as unwilling to do anything to protect our southern border. The good mayor wants to appear to be the one  man willing to protect America.

It's a lie, but he knows a lot of people will believe what he says.

This was in response to a question at an event hosted by ABC 7 Eyewitness News about his views on the Trump proposal to use the military to stop the drug cartels. They have been killing Americans, and it is becoming obvious that something must be done about the border.

It is official Democratic policy to maintain absolute open borders. This is an issue that has seriously hurt the Democrats and was largely responsible for the election of Donald Trump. But they can't give this issue up, as it is the key to their long-term political fortunes. The Democrats are shrinking, and without bringing in new voters they will eventually become a minority party. So Mayor Pete may talk a good game here, but in the end he'll refuse to do anything that even hints at border control.

Sending the U.S. military to Mexico would discourage border crossers.

Beware Greeks bearing gifts.
